Vitcas Vermiculite Gas Fire Ember Pack is a pack of small crushed vermiculite granules. The vermiculite can withstand temperatures reaching 1100°C. Due to its properties such as low thermal conductivity, heat resistance and moisture storage, it is ideal for being the base in gas fire burners.
VITCAS Replacement Vermiculite Gas Fire Ember Pack contains high-temperature vermiculite granules specifically designed to improve the performance and appearance of gas fires. These embers are spread directly over the burner tray, providing better heat distribution and insulation, thereby enhancing energy efficiency. Resistant to temperatures up to 1100°C / 2012°F, this ember pack is an essential addition for maintaining optimal thermal performance and ensuring safe operation of your gas fire.
Key Features
High-Temperature Resistance: Capable of withstanding extreme heat up to 1100°C / 2012°F, these embers ensure long-lasting performance in high-temperature gas fire applications.
Non-Combustible: Naturally non-combustible vermiculite ensures safe use in gas fire installations, protecting against fire hazards.
Low Thermal Conductivity: The embers provide low thermal conductivity, reducing heat loss and improving the overall energy efficiency of your gas fire.
Moisture Retention: Vermiculite granules contain moisture, which aids in heat retention and minimises shrinkage when exposed to continuous high temperatures.
Minimal Shrinkage: Even at extreme temperatures, vermiculite maintains its form with minimal shrinkage, ensuring long-term effectiveness.
Applications of Gas Fire Ember Pack
VITCAS Vermiculite Gas Fire Ember Pack is perfect for a variety of gas fire applications, where efficient heat management and a realistic ember bed are essential:
Gas Fire Ember Beds: Acts as a bed for imitation coals in standard gas fires, improving the visual aesthetics while also enhancing heat performance.
Burner Tray Insulation: Provides additional thermal insulation when spread over the burner tray, reducing heat loss and improving energy efficiency.
Installation Notes:
While replacing gas embers can appear straightforward, we strongly recommends that a qualified gas safe engineer carry out the replacement. Incorrect installation, such as excessive use of embers or improper placement, can not only lower the efficiency of your gas fire but also create potentially dangerous conditions leading to the production of carbon monoxide (CO). Always follow the heating appliance manufacturer's instructions and guidelines for safe and effective installation.
