Vihose Quartz Glass Tube Replacement (49.5 x 4 Inch, Clear, 2 Pack)

Will these tubes fit my pyramid patio heater?

These tubes are designed for 4-sided pyramid heaters approximately 87 inches tall. The 49.5 x 4 inch dimensions fit most standard pyramid-style patio heaters. Check your existing tube measurements before ordering to ensure compatibility. The tubes work with both residential and commercial pyramid heaters that use this standard sizing.

How thick is the quartz glass and will it break easily?

The quartz glass measures 3mm (0.12 inches) thick, which provides excellent durability against thermal shock and impact. This thickness is specifically chosen to withstand the rapid temperature changes that occur during heater operation. The quartz material is significantly stronger than standard glass and resists cracking from heat expansion.

What's included with each tube purchase?

You receive 2 quartz glass tubes and 2 high-temperature silicone connecting rings. This provides everything needed for complete installation without requiring additional parts. The silicone rings create a secure seal between the tube and heater housing, preventing heat loss and ensuring safe operation.

How do I install these replacement tubes?

Installation is straightforward and requires no tools. Remove your old tube, clean the connection area, place the new silicone ring in position and insert the new quartz tube. The process typically takes 5-10 minutes per tube. Ensure the heater is completely cool before beginning installation for safety.

Can these tubes handle outdoor weather conditions?

Yes, the quartz glass construction is designed for outdoor use and withstands temperature fluctuations, moisture and UV exposure. The material won't degrade from weather exposure like some plastics might. However, protect the tubes from direct impact during storms or when storing the heater for extended periods.

What temperature range can these tubes withstand?

Quartz glass can handle extremely high temperatures well beyond what patio heaters generate. The material maintains its properties at temperatures exceeding 1000°C, making it ideal for heating applications. The silicone connecting rings are also rated for high-temperature use and won't degrade during normal heater operation.

Are these tubes compatible with gas and electric heaters?

These tubes work with both propane gas and electric pyramid heaters that use the standard 49.5 x 4 inch tube size. The quartz glass construction is suitable for any heat source type. Check your heater's specifications to confirm tube dimensions before ordering, as some models may use different sizing.

How long do these replacement tubes typically last?

With proper installation and normal use, these quartz tubes can last several years. The lifespan depends on usage frequency, weather exposure and handling care. The thick quartz construction and quality materials are designed for long-term reliability. Having a spare tube available ensures uninterrupted heater operation if replacement becomes necessary.
