Midwest Hearth Fire Pit Gas Key Valve Kit Antique Brass 1/2 NPT — CSA-certified solid brass, 3in key

Midwest Hearth's Fire Pit Gas Key Valve Kit is a CSA-certified 1/2" NPT solid brass shutoff assembly with an antique brass floor plate and a 3" universal key for safe, code-compliant gas control on fire pits and outdoor gas features.

This complete kit combines a durable brass ball valve, decorative floor plate, and a universal key so you can quickly install a reliable manual shutoff for natural gas or liquid propane lines. Built to meet ANSI Z21.5 and CSA requirements, the assembly offers a compact, attractive control point for backyard fireplaces, fire tables, gas log lighters, and outdoor kitchen gas runs without the pressure drop or stiffness of older valve types.

How does this valve kit improve safety and meet code?

The kit includes a CSA-certified, ANSI Z21.5 compliant solid brass ball valve designed specifically for gas service, fulfilling the common code requirement for a local shutoff at the appliance. The simple quarter-turn operation reduces user error and provides a clear visual on/off position. Using a listed valve helps inspectors and installers confirm the installation meets residential and many commercial standards.

• CSA certification and ANSI Z21.5 compliance for gas installations
• Solid brass construction resists corrosion from outdoor exposure
• Quarter-turn ball valve for positive open/closed feedback
• Designed for 1/2" NPT connections and up to 1/2 PSIG service

What components are included and how do they perform?

This is a full turn-key shutoff kit: a straight solid brass ball valve sized 1/2" NPT, a decorative antique brass floor plate, and a 3" universal metal key. Ball valves provide minimal pressure drop and smooth operation compared with globe-style valves, making them ideal for gas flows and pilot/light systems. The finish and plate give a finished look at the installation point while the key provides easy, secure access to the valve.

• Straight solid brass ball valve — durable, leak-resistant
• Antique brass floor plate — clean, coordinated appearance
• 3" universal key — ergonomic leverage for tight installations
• Works with Natural Gas (NG) and Liquid Propane (LP)

Which installations and outdoor appliances is this best suited for?

The valve kit was created for a wide variety of gas-fired features: freestanding fire pits, built-in fire tables, gas log sets, log lighters, grill islands, and outdoor kitchen lines. Its compact size and decorative plate make it easy to position in patios, countertops, or hearth surrounds without an obtrusive industrial look. Installers will find it useful both for new builds and retrofit situations where a listed local shutoff is required.

• Backyard fire pits and patio fire tables
• Built-in gas fireplaces and log lighter systems
• BBQ islands and outdoor kitchen gas runs
• Retrofit and new-construction plumbing for gas appliances
