Nile 36" Fire & Water Bowl overview
The Nile Fire & Water Bowl from The Outdoor Plus (item OPT-36NLCPF-NG) combines two effects in one piece: a 24-inch burner on top and a copper scupper on the front that sends a sheet of water into your pool or basin. This listing is the larger 36-inch size in hammered copper; a 30-inch version and stainless or powder-coated finishes are also made.
Because it is designed to sit at the water's edge, the Nile suits pool builders and homeowners finishing a new pool deck more than a typical backyard patio. The 48-inch length and 14-inch height give it a substantial presence on a pool wall or pedestal, and the hammered copper ages to a warm patina that pairs well with stone coping.

Venting & installation
No flue is needed; this is an open-air outdoor gas feature. It requires a gas line plus a plumbing connection from your pool or fountain pump to the scupper. Electronic ignition within 5 feet of water must be the low-voltage type. It should be installed per the manufacturer's installation manual and local codes, by a qualified installer.
What to order with it
- Required choices: fuel type and ignition (match-lit, or low-voltage 12V electronic).
- Popular add-ons: a fitted cover, fire glass or lava rock, glass wind guards and ignition controls or remotes for pool automation.
FAQ
Can the Nile tie into my pool automation?
The low-voltage electronic ignition version is designed for pool settings and can be controlled remotely, which makes it the usual pick for automated pools. Check your automation system's compatibility before ordering.
What pump flow does the scupper need?
The scupper is rated at about 20 GPM. Your pool builder should confirm the pump and plumbing can supply that.
Is there a smaller size?
Yes, the Nile is also made in a 30-inch size.
