The Omcan 47878 Patio Heater
The Omcan PH-CN-2270-P is a pyramid style patio heater in powder-coated finish, which provides a matte, weather-resistant surface that holds up to rain, sun, and temperature changes. The darker finish works well on casual restaurant patios, brewery decks, and event spaces where a subdued look fits the setting. It delivers 42,000 BTU (13 kW) of heat output from propane, warming an area of 113-175 sq. ft. so your outdoor dining or event space stays comfortable on cool evenings.
Inner Glass Tube with Protective Guard for Visible Flame
The pyramid design features an inner glass tube that creates a visible flame effect, which adds ambiance to outdoor dining areas. A protective guard surrounds the glass tube to prevent accidental contact. The flame is visible from all sides, making the heater serve double duty as both a heat source and a decorative focal point for patio seating areas. An anti-tilt switch and automatic shut-off device provide safety protection if the heater is bumped or knocked over.
Wheeled Base for Easy Repositioning
Built-in wheels on the base let you roll the heater between positions as seating arrangements change or weather conditions shift. At 50.7 lbs and standing 89.4 inches tall, the heater is substantial enough to remain stable in moderate wind but still movable by one person. A standard 20-pound propane tank fits inside the base enclosure, keeping the fuel source hidden and the overall look clean. Propane consumption runs at 945 g/hr, so a full 20-pound tank provides several hours of continuous heating.
