Explore Fire and Water Bowls:
All of our fire, fire & water bowls and fire pits include the burner assembly and transformer panel. All Hammered Copper bowls come with a mounting bracket. All bowls with fire elements include a support plate. Decorative media is sold separately. *Site connection adapters and mounting anchor hardware not included.
Yes, but it requires a PTI transformer panel (included when ordering automated system). Swimming pool or home automation systems that supply 120VAC from the auxiliary output can be hooked up to the transformer panel.
A licensed contractor must perform installations. All aspects of installation must conform to local codes, or in the absence of codes, with National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1. Failure to have the bowls or fire pits installed by a licensed contractor will result in a void of warranty.
No. Currently, we only offer standard sizes.
A wide variety of products are in stock and ship within 3 business days of the order. Lead time for out of stock items can range from 6-8 weeks.
A transformer panel is required (included when ordering automated system) for powering all automated electronic ignition systems. It serves as a transformer to convert the incoming power to a useable voltage for the bowls and fire pits.
Pebble Technology offers 12VAC and 24VAC automated electronic ignition systems. When ordering, you must specify the quantity and type of bowls and/or fire pits that will be installed at a single location. Additionally, you must indicate the type of gas: either natural gas or propane. Pebble Technology will package each order according to the specification provided.
No, an individual transformer panel is required for each bowl if you would like to operate the bowls independently. Normal operation is to have all bowls ignite simultaneously from one transformer panel.
It is recommended the bowls be within 150ft of the transformer panel. There is no distance requirement for the length of the wire running between the transformer panel to the bowl(s) and/or fire pit(s).

The transformer panel is the same. Propane models require an electronic propane adder (included when ordering propane systems) to be wired into the transformer and have a brass air/fuel mixer valve that introduces air into the propane gas before combustion for a cleaner richer burning flame than other non-aerated propane systems on the market. Natural gas models do not need an air/fuel mixer since natural gas is cleaner burning than propane.
It is an additional low voltage solenoid gas valve that is installed in the gas line upstream from the burner. In the event of a leak or loose connection, it will prevent the flow of gas. It adds the benefits of additional safety and more precise gas flow to the system.
If all propane bowls and/or fire pits are connected to one transformer panel, you only need one propane adder on the gas main. For larger projects requiring multiple transformer panels, you need one propane adder per panel.
Our burner assembly comes with a patented flame monitoring technology that is reliable in adverse weather conditions. Every unit is CSA/AGA approved and factory tested for safety before shipping.
All components of the burner assemblies and transformer panels are manufactured in the United States for Pebble Technology International.
CSA/AGA recommended clearances are 4ft on sides and 6ft on top. Fire bowls can be placed anywhere code allows. Do not install near any combustibles (side or overhead) such as wood structures, fuels, clothing, windows, fabrics or dry vegetation. Please see installation manual for more information.
Each burner should have a flame height of approximately 12” – 15” from the top of the burner. The licensed contractor who installs the system(s) can adjust the flame.
Yes, our components are U.L. listed and the burner assembly is CSA certified.
Our exclusive designs use precision cut hardware, which allows for an easier and more secure installation, improved performance and a more stable flame. The media support plate is designed to allow maximum airflow and preventing overheating, sagging and warping. The four-bolt system allows for an easy installation to the mounting surface, which provides a more secure and stable product. The mounting bracket includes corrosion resistant stainless steel studs and is powder coated in a non-reflective bronze color to blend with the oil rubbed hammered copper. Cast stone bowls do not have a mounting bracket, as the mounting feet are cast into the cast stone bowls for an extremely stable mount. The feet allow airflow to the burner electronics and provide a cleaner and richer flame.
Yes, warranty is voided if the system is not installed according to our manufacturer instructions. The mounting bracket for the hammered copper bowls and the feet of the cast stone bowl allow for cooling airflow to the burner electronics. This prevents the system from overheating and malfunctioning. The vents also allow for possible gas buildup in the bottom of the bowl to evacuate. Propane gas is heavier than air and will settle into low-lying places if not properly ventilated.
Yes, a drainage pipe will need to be installed to drain excess water and will assist in preventing gas buildup (excluding water only bowls). A fine screen such as landscape cloth or window screen should be placed over the drainage pipe when installing planters to keep excess dirt from clogging the drain.
Bowls are cast and handcrafted in the United States. Our exclusive product line has been designed by PTI.
Our engineered concrete mix design enhances the strength of the cast stone bowls, making it more durable than others in the market. The creative application of materials and bowl design work together to fortify the strength of the bowl making it more resistant to cracking due to over exposure or freeze/thaw cycles. Pigment infused concrete provides color throughout the bowl, and each bowl is finished with a penetrating sealer that protects the integrity of the color as the bowl ages. The copper insert is designed to optimize water flow requirements and provide a more even flow with a smooth water sheet.
Pebble Technology custom designed molds to individually form each bowl. Once extracted from the mold, our concrete artisans use a hand-processing technique to give each bowl a unique visual texture with a tone-on-tone effect and ensure a smooth finish.
The standard pilot hood is used for natural gas or propane in lava rock media applications. An open-top pilot hood is required for all glass media applications allowing for sufficient airflow to the pilot light ignition. Due to propane being heavier than natural gas, and because glass media packs tighter than other types of media, the tightly packed glass media can restrict airflow/ventilation and cause the glass to combust.
Yes, when using glass media for bowls with fire features or fire pits an open-top pilot hood is required. PTI will change the pilot hood at the factory when media is specified at time of order.
Yes, our fire glass is furnace melted and tumbled for long-term heat resistance.
No, fire glass media can only be used with natural gas. PTI does not sell fire glass media for propane applications due to safety concerns.
It is recommended to lay a thin layer of fire glass media over the mesh screen. Use just enough glass media to cover the burner assembly and screen. Make sure that glass does not fall into the pilot box cover. See brochure for recommended amounts of glass media.
A mesh screen is required and included with all fire glass media purchases. If you choose not to purchase fire glass media through PTI, you can purchase a mesh screen by contacting your local sales rep or by calling 800.937.5058. This mesh screen is only used for fire glass media and should NOT be used for planters.

The scuppers are designed with a drip edge so that water does not run underneath the scupper onto the wall when the flow is turned off. However, it is possible for the patina to stain the surface of the tile or stone should it make contact. To prevent staining, it is important to clean and polish the unit and wipe off the wall regularly. Doing so will help maintain the copper polish and extend the life of the scupper and prevent stains from accumulating on the wall.Staining of the wall can also occur from splash or rainwater runoff.
A weir is a wall or dam built across a water flow path to raise the level of the water or to change the direction and characteristics of its flow. Our unique design uses weir plates and fins to balance the water flow and allow for a wider path, which allows water to pool without creating backpressure, provides an even water nappe and prevents risk of clogging. This allows the water to flow steadily over the copper crest to create an evenly distributed water nappe.Conversely, baffles are obstructions in the flow path serving the purpose to check, deflect and disrupt water flow. They create chaotic turbulent flow that mixes air and water and can potentially cause a bubbly and choppy water nappe.
