Replacement table fixing bushes for the gas patio heater Lacor

Replacement table bushes for the Lacor gas patio heater

These bushes are the plastic nuts that fix the table to the post of Lacor's 69400 gas patio heater, the 12 kW stainless steel model seen on bar and restaurant terraces. With use, sunlight and the assembly and dismantling of every season they end up cracking, or they get lost when the heater is put away, and without them the table is loose and rattles. Lacor supplies them as an original spare part in a bag, ready to replace the worn ones.

Features

• Original Lacor spare part, the same one that comes in the heater's assembly bag.
• Black plastic fixing bushes for the heater table.
• Compatible with Lacor's 69400 (stainless steel) and 69401 (black) patio heaters, according to the manufacturer's spare parts list.
• Supplied in a polyethylene bag; sold as the complete set exactly as Lacor delivers it.

Spare part details

When to replace them

If the heater table wobbles, if a bush turns without tightening or if there is a crack in the plastic, it is time to change them. It is worth checking them when the heater is assembled at the start of the cold season, with the heater switched off and cold, and always replacing the complete set so that the table sits level. No special tools are needed: they screw on by hand.

How to replace them

With the heater switched off, cold and the gas cylinder disconnected, remove the table by loosening the old bushes; if one is seized, a cloth gives enough grip, without pliers that could damage the thread on the post. Clean the seating area, put the table back in position and screw the new bushes on by hand until it is firm, tightening them alternately so that the table does not sit at an angle. Then check that it does not move before reconnecting the gas.

Why it pays to keep a spare set

A patio heater works outdoors: the sun dries out the plastic, rain and salt degrade it, and every dismantling at the end of the season is a chance for a bush to go missing. A loose table is not just a nuisance: glasses and ashtrays rattle and, if the heater is knocked, the table can come away. The spare set costs little and is kept in the assembly bag, together with the wheels and the cover, so it is to hand at the start of the season.

Cleaning and care

The bushes are cleaned with soapy water, without solvents that attack plastic. At the end of the season it is a good idea to loosen them, clean the thread on the post and store them separately in the bag so they do not get lost; when the heater is assembled again, simply screw them back on. Do not tighten them with tools: the plastic breaks before the steel of the post.

Frequently asked questions about the Lacor patio heater bushes

Do these bushes fit the black 69401 heater?

Yes. Lacor's spare parts list assigns them both to the stainless steel 69400 and to the black 69401, which share the same table.

How many bushes are in the bag?

Lacor sells the complete set for the table in a single bag. They are all replaced at the same time.

Are any tools needed to fit them?

No. They are plastic bushes that screw on by hand; just tighten them until the table is firm, without forcing.

Do they affect gas safety?

They do not touch the gas circuit: they only hold the table to the post. Even so, any work is done with the heater switched off and cold.

Are they the same ones supplied with a new heater?

Yes, it is Lacor's official spare part, the same one that comes in the heater's assembly bag.
