Description

The 45" Sunstone Universal Appliance Jacket (SUNJK45) is built for the RUBY5BIR and EMCHDZ42 and takes many other gas and hybrid grill brands out of the box with minor assembly. It is double-walled 304 stainless steel and gives the grill a heat barrier and proper venting inside an outdoor kitchen or BBQ island.

It fits most grills with a maximum cut-out of 39" W x 12" H x 22" D. The grill rests on the upper rim and hangs free inside, and a self-supporting raised ledge runs around the sides and back. The jacket is a zero clearance design.

Vents at the lower front and upper back edges pass excess heat and gas through. Universal covered utility ports let you open only the side your gas or electrical line uses. It works with natural gas or propane. With additional accessories it converts to a post-mount grill, and a cabinet peg-leg in each bottom corner lets you set it on a picnic table or blocks before the island is ready.

Perfect fit for my Ruby grill

I was a little nervous about finding a jacket that would actually fit my Ruby 5 burner, but this was spot on. Install was easy and it looks really professional in my outdoor kitchen. Very happy with the quality and how it ties everything together.

Luis A.★★★★☆March 21, 2013
Solid jacket, minor assembly

This 45 inch jacket is built like a tank. It fit my grill with a little assembly, like it says. Minor gripe is the instructions could've been clearer for the assembly part, but nothing a handy homeowner can't figure out.

Lane V.★★★★★March 7, 2015
Makes the grill look built in

This jacket makes a big difference. My grill now looks like it was custom built into the island. The stainless is great quality and the whole outdoor cooking area looks better. Worth it for a finished look.

Brandon W.★★★★☆October 16, 2015
Good quality, a bit pricey

No question it's well made, it's sturdy and feels like it'll last a long time. It fit my grill well after some adjusting. But at almost $1500 it feels expensive for what's basically a metal frame, even a good one.

Eric G.★★★☆☆October 9, 2023
Does the job, but not perfect

It works for my grill, but the "minor assembly" was more involved than I expected to get a truly flush fit. Solid once it's in and the materials are good. I just expected an easier time for the price.

Q
How hard is this jacket to install, and what cutout do I need?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
With basic DIY skills it's pretty straightforward. It fits a standard 45 inch wide cutout in your island. Make sure your island material is sturdy enough to hold the jacket and the appliance in it, and double check the exact cutout dimensions in the manual before you cut.

Q
Will this jacket fit my 42 inch grill head from another brand?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
Universal means it works with different appliances, but check your grill's dimensions first. It's made for appliances up to about 42 to 43 inches wide, leaving a small gap for ventilation and easier installation. Measure your grill's exact cutout dimensions and compare them to the jacket's inside specs before you order to make sure it's a safe fit.

Q
What's this jacket made of, and can it handle rain and the heat from a grill?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
It's 304 stainless steel, which is very durable and resists corrosion, so it does well outdoors. It handles heavy rain, direct sun and the high heat from your grill, and protects your appliances for a long time. Regular cleaning keeps it looking good.

Q
How do I keep this jacket clean after a greasy cookout?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
For everyday cleaning, mild soap and water on a soft cloth takes off grime and fingerprints. For heavier grease splatter, use a stainless steel cleaner and polish to bring back the shine. Avoid abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, they'll scratch the stainless.
