What is a 1.4G Pro Line Firework?

At Elevated Fireworks™, we’re passionate about helping customers understand their options, from beginner-friendly fountains to professional-grade effects. One of the most common questions we get is:

👉 “What exactly is a 1.4G Pro Line firework, and how is it different from regular consumer fireworks?”

Let’s break it down.

At Elevated Fireworks™, we’re proud to carry 1.4G Pro Line fireworks—a special category of pyrotechnics designed for trained enthusiasts and professional show operators who want performance beyond regular consumer fireworks.

While these items are still classified as 1.4G (consumer legal) under federal law, they are engineered with professional use in mind:

  • Cleaner single-effect shots for choreographed displays
  • Stronger, more reliable performance
  • Extended fusing for linking multiple effects
  • Plain, professional packaging for easy show setup

Firework Classifications Explained

Fireworks in the United States are divided into categories based on hazard class, explosive content, and intended use:

  • 1.4G Consumer Fireworks – These are the standard fireworks sold to the public at seasonal stands, stores, and online. They’re designed for safe use by anyone 18+ (where legal). Examples: fountains, multi-shot aerial cakes, roman candles, sparklers.

  • 1.3G Display Fireworks – These are professional display-grade fireworks used at city festivals, theme parks, or stadium events. They contain much more explosive material, require ATF permits, and can only be handled by licensed operators.

  • 1.4G Pro Line Fireworks – This category sits between consumer fireworks and display fireworks. They’re legal to sell to the public (with some requirements), but they’re designed with the needs of trained shooters, choreographers, and show producers in mind.

Key Features of 1.4G Pro Line Fireworks

Single-Effect Focus

Instead of mixing multiple colors and patterns in one cake, Pro Line items usually feature one clean, professional-looking effect.

Example: a 25-shot red peony cake (all identical bursts) or a rack of all-gold brocades.

This makes it easier to choreograph balanced, symmetrical displays.

Consistent Timing

Pro Line items are manufactured with precise fusing and predictable burn rates, so you can line them up with music or other fireworks more reliably.

Professional Packaging

Unlike consumer fireworks that often come in flashy boxes, Pro Line packaging is plain, labeled by effect type and size, making it easy for operators to sort and set up quickly during show prep.

Extended Fusing Options

Some items include longer fuses or quick-connect fusing so they can be linked together for simultaneous firing. This is ideal for creating layered effects or rapid sequences.

Higher Reliability

Pro Line products are built for minimal duds, higher break quality, and better lift performance, giving you a smoother and more professional show experience.

Who Uses 1.4G Pro Line Fireworks?

  • Professional Pyro Teams who want consumer-legal items for smaller shows or practice shoots.
  • Advanced Hobbyists who build backyard or private shows that look closer to a city-level display.
  • Event Planners & DJs who choreograph fireworks with weddings, concerts, or sporting events.
  • Safety-Certified Enthusiasts who enjoy cleaner effects and higher-quality performance.

Benefits of Choosing 1.4G Pro Line

Cleaner Show Design: Build symmetrical effects and choreographed moments.

Safer than 1.3G: Still regulated as consumer fireworks, so less red tape.

Can I mix 1.4G Pro Line and regular consumer fireworks in my show?

What makes 1.4G Pro Line different from standard consumer fireworks?

Pro Line fireworks are designed with professional performance in mind. Instead of mixed effects, they usually feature single-effect designs (like all red peonies or gold brocades), consistent fusing, and plain professional packaging. They’re built for timing, symmetry, and reliability—perfect for advanced hobbyists and operators.

Do I have to be 18 to buy 1.4G Pro Line fireworks?

Yes. Just like consumer fireworks, you must be 18 years or older and present a valid government-issued ID at the time of purchase or pickup.
