  • Publication number: 20220299202
    Abstract: A modular burner system includes a nipple elongated along an axis and a plurality of jets connected to the nipple. The jets are spaced from each other along the axis. Each jet connected to the nipple has a jet axis and is elongated from the nipple along the jet axis. Each jet connected to the nipple has an exit on the jet axis spaced from the nipple to release fuel to fuel a flame at the exit. The jet axis of at least one of the jets connected to the nipple is at a first angle relative to the axis and the jet axis of at least one of the jets connected to the nipple is at a second angle relative to the axis different than the first angle.

  • Patent number: 11193670
    Abstract: A burner system includes a plurality of burners each including a nipple that is brass and a jet that is brass. The nipple in at least some of the burners has a first end that is open and a second end that is closed. The nipple has a side wall between the first end and the second end. The side wall defines a bore that extends through the first end to the second end. The first end, second end, and side wall of the nipple are of integral, one piece, construction free of joints. The nipple hole extending through the side wall and the jet is engaged with the hole.

  • Patent number: 10571117
    Abstract: A system for creating a flow of gas for use in creating relatively low-temperature ornamental flame uses a support connector with a vertical inlet adapted for accepting a flow of gas and a pair of generally horizontal outlets. Nipples are attached to the support connector. The nipples carry gas from the support connector to jets that mix the gas with air and deliver the mixture to be burned. The nipples include at least one landing of integral, one-piece construction with each of the nipples. The landings are adapted for accepting the mating surface of the wrench. The nipples include a plurality of apertures for accepting gas jets that include a side aperture for creating a gas-air mixture. The attachment of the nipples is achieved with a mating wrench, which allows assembly of the system to proper torque settings without marring of the surfaces of the system.
