With this Heat Deflector, you may install your Bromic Platinum 500 or Tungsten 500 Gas Radiant Infrared Patio Heater closer to the ceiling. With this Dual-Layer Stainless Steel attachment, the necessary distance to the ceiling is cut down from 42 inches to just 14 inches. The Heat Deflector is also advised for any installations where the heater is open to the elements, to prevent rain from entering the heater. This allows you to obtain the ideal height of 8 feet below the heater with ceilings as low as 10' 2" high.
