The SunStar Heat Deflector (SunStar Heat Shield Kit) is the factory accessory for SunStar SGL Glass Series patio heaters, available in two sizes: 566400 for the 50,000 BTU (SGL50) heaters and 566300 for the 35,000 BTU (SGL35) heaters. Installed on the heater, it reduces the required clearance to combustibles toward the ceiling; on the SGL50 it is required to meet SunStar's minimum 10" clearance. It comes included with the fixed horizontal SGL0 models and is sold separately for the adjustable SGL1560 models or as a replacement. Choose the size that matches your heater's BTU rating.

  • Sized specifically for 50,000 BTU or 35,000 BTU SGL Glass Series heaters
  • Approved heater mounting angles with the shield installed: 0°, 15°, 30°, 45° and 60°
  • Shield position is set to match the heater's mounting angle
  • Black painted finish
  • Includes hanger rail, holder brackets, mounting hardware and an indoor clearances label
  • Made in the USA

Installation should follow the SunStar SGL Series installation instructions and be completed by a qualified installer. Use the acorn nuts at the control end of the heater so the shield can expand when the heater is on, and place the new clearance label on the control end of the heater, not on the shield. At 45° or 60° mounting angles the shield deforms slightly while operating and returns to shape afterward, which is normal.
