Vent Fire Torch: vertical rows of narrow louvers in a stainless head, 14 inches tall
The Outdoor Plus Vent fire torch is a hand-crafted stainless steel head with vertical rows of narrow slot louvers for a clean, modern look and thin lines of flame glow. At 14 inches tall and just under 4 inches across, it mounts atop a post beside pools, paths, or patios. Its steel withstands heat and weather.
Choose the Original base, which has a built-in needle valve to set flame height and bolts to any 2.5 inch post, or the TOP-Lite base that threads onto a half-inch gas pipe. Order it for natural gas or propane. Prefer scattered cutouts to neat rows? See the Shotgun fire torch.

FAQ
What is the look of the Vent Fire Torch?
Vertical vent slots run the length of the head, so the flame reads through crisp parallel lines – part industrial louver, part modern lantern. The Vent is the quiet minimalist of TOP’s 3 3/4-inch torches: disciplined by day, a striped column of light after dark.
What specs and SKUs does the Vent torch carry?
A 3 3/4-inch diameter head standing 14 inches tall with up to 20,000 BTU, individually hand crafted from high-grade stainless steel. SKUs: OPT-TT4M for the match-lit Original with needle valve, OPT-TCH4SS for the TOP-Lite electronic-ignition build.
Do the Vent’s slots affect how the flame burns?
The slotted body gives the burner a measure of shelter while letting air feed the flame evenly, so the Vent tends to hold a steady, upright plume in light breezes. In real wind, trim the needle valve down and site posts thoughtfully, as with any open-flame torch.
What settings suit the Vent torch best?
Contemporary ones – the Vent’s louvered lines echo slat fencing, linear pavers, and modern cladding. Run several along a minimalist walkway, or station a pair above a low rectangular fire bowl so the striped glow repeats the hardscape’s geometry.
How is the Vent mounted and plumbed?
On any 2 1/2-inch post with hex bolts, gas connected at the 3/8-inch flared inlet – TOP’s universal system. A licensed installer handles the fuel line, whether your Vent is configured for natural gas or liquid propane, and sets heights around 6 to 8 feet.
How do I light the Vent each night?
With the Original OPT-TT4M, open the valve a touch and reach the burner with a long-stem lighter, then set the flame on the built-in needle valve. If nightly lighters are not your thing, the TOP-Lite OPT-TCH4SS is designed for electronic ignition.
Is the Vent torch OK in rain?
Completely – its stainless steel construction lives outdoors year-round, rain included, and the slots drain freely. Shut off the gas during storms since downpours can snuff the flame, relight when clear, and wipe the louvers down occasionally to keep them crisp.
