HilandTHP-Burner Complete Burner Replacement Part, One Size, Grey

I was thinking about getting an entire new Hiland patio heater since I couldn’t get the knob on the burner to turn at all until I ran across this replacement part. It is an exact fit for my Hiland heater which is about 2 years old. Removal of the old burner was easy but I was surprised at how rusty the hardware that secured the heat shield was. Thankfully I was able to get it removed and I was able to reuse the hardware again. The regulator hose went down inside the main support tube smoothly and I was able to bolt on the new burner with the supplied new hardware to the support tube using a 10mm socket. It fired up on first push of the igniter!For those that are having problems with getting it lit the problem maybe your propane tank valve especially if it has been super cold and. It used regularly. Get a fresh tank of propane and give that a shot. Before getting a new tank, you can simply tap on the regulator using a small metal tool like a crescent wrench, remove the coupling to the tank, and then reattach it. When you turn on the tank valve, first tighten the valve firmly, then slowly loosen the valve. This usually works with older tanks that haven’t been used in awhile and when it is super cold outside.

UPDATE SEPT 2021: both units have failed at this point. The pilot on off valve is gummed up and ignition switch no longer sparking. Disappointing, waste of time and $. Time for new units.Original review:Overall very happy with this unit. It replaced a maxi heat unit that was 15 years old. I expected there would be some retrofitting to be done and it was principally in two areas. First the bottom mounting holes. My old unit had three this unit has four. So drilled three new holes in shaft. Second the heat shield holes didn’t line up with the existing heat shield. Buying a new one would have added $50 (for 3 piece shield which is cheesy) at which point the buy-new option vs fix becomes more attractive @$140-$160. So we removed the top plate from old burner unit to mark for drilling holes in new unit (new unit top is welded not screwed...however bottom of mesh screen is attached with screws which gives access for retrofit. Used old bolts to connect. Third...the old unit had a gas pipe in the riser pole (vs a hose like new unit). Removal was easy but the opening at bottom of riser pole was too small for regulator to fit down through so had to disconnect hose at top of new unit and then reattach. This work was all within our capabilities and existing tools available. And we have a second unit that will no doubt need replacement soon...so we will definitely go this route again. Hope the unit lasts 15 years like old one!!As for starting, I followed recommendations on other posts and it worked fine. Just takes a little more time than my old unit.

Great replacement burner for our patio heater. The base of it is tapered and narrower than our original patio post, so had to shim it to make it fit. It would be nice if there were some kind of adapter included. Also, lighting it is a bit different than our original where you hold the pilot light button while you click the starter. On this one it isn't obvious that the pilot is lit (even when it is) until you take it on faith and turn the gas dial, then the flames pops on. Overall I'm happy though, it was much cheaper and less wasteful than replacing the full heater.

Use my heater in an exterior coastal setting. Rust and corrosion happens. This Hiland unit is easier and safer to buy than trying to problem solve the failure of individual parts within the propane combustion system. Easy removal of the old burner head and attachment of the new one. 30min max. Make sure to measure your burner pole to ensure this 2.5in attachment fits.

It took four hours to install this burner on my heater. The attachment flange was too small to fit on my heater tower even though the description size stated that it should have been compatable. I ended up cannabalizing my old flange to the heater to mount it on the tower.After installation I attempted to operationally check it out. I hooked up a full LP tank and tried to get the heater to ignite with no success. I couldn't see the piezo igniter sparking. I rechecked the LP line and there was gas getting to the regulator. I attempted to start it again using an independent flame source. I placed the lighter next to the piezo and attempted to get ignition, again with no success. Apparently no gas is getting to the burner.I would return this piece of junk, but I would need to disassemble the whole thing again. I've already wasted a half a day on this. Its going to the recycle center.

The Hiland complete burner replacement for my Hiland stand heater worked perfectly. The new design, by passing the pilot light, works great, it starts up every time. I highly recommend this burner head.

Had an old patio heater I thought was going in the trash, gave this a shot and am fully functional again! I did have to use an existing bracket from my previous one to make it work, and using the old heat shield with it's original screws and nuts was kind of a pain due to how rusted and corroded they were, but I can live with that.Like other posters, I originally had an issue where gas was not flowing and I thought I had a defective unit. However, I called a number that the manufacturer has in another persons comment for technical support and he had me up and running within a few minutes. These are the steps he had me do in case someone else has this issue:1. Disconnect the gas line from the propane tank2. Tap the silver propane regulator on the tank about 3 times3. Reconnect the gas line4. Turn the control knob on the unit counter clockwise until it stops (at pilot)5. Hold in the know for about a minute6. Press the ignite button 10 times7. Turn the knob to HiIt worked perfectly (It actually took a couple tries with the igniter, but I knew I had progress when I turned it to Hi and heard and smelled the gas now working).

The unit appears to work fine, but required grinding the holes in the pole higher, and washering the longer screws to adapt the 2 inch base.
