Outdoor gas patio heaters
Five existing models from 4.2 to 13 kW, developed in house and built from raw sheet through to a packed, certified unit.
What is involved in manufacturing an outdoor gas patio heater?
An outdoor gas patio heater combines three quite different manufacturing problems in one product. The first is sheet metal: the reflector, the post and the base are formed, welded and finished from stainless or coated steel, and they carry the product's perceived quality. The second is the gas train: burner, valve, regulator, thermocouple and ignition have to be specified as a matched set and assembled to a repeatable standard. The third is certification: patio heaters sold in Europe must be certified under Regulation (EU) 2016/426 on appliances burning gaseous fuels, and North American markets require listing to CSA/ANSI Z83.26, each driving clearance distances and material choices. YBT develops and builds all three parts of the product in one plant, which is why a change to the reflector geometry does not require re-coordinating three suppliers. YBT’s own patio heaters hold both certifications: CE conformity to type under Module D, certificate ITS-2575-SRV-2441927 issued by Intertek Italia (Notified Body 2575), and a cETLus listing from Intertek (control no. 5019213) covering six models. Indicative output is about 3,000 finished appliances a month.
