AUTOMATIC SAFETY PILOT K

There's nothing quite like a roaring fire — except a roaring fire you didn't have to struggle to start. The Real Fyre APK-17 Automatic Safety Pilot Kit brings effortless, reliable ignition to your Real Fyre vented gas log set, combining a low-profile design with the performance and safety features serious hearth enthusiasts expect.

At its core, the APK-17 is a standing pilot system with piezo ignition, meaning you get a consistent, dependable flame start without relying on household electricity. Power outage? Your fireplace remains fully operational — because warmth shouldn't be held hostage by the grid.

Serious BTU Capability
The APK-17 delivers up to 100,000 BTU on natural gas, while the propane-compatible version (APK-17P, sold separately) steps that up to an impressive 200,000 BTU. Whether you're chasing the chill out of a cool evening or heating a substantial living space, this system is built to perform.

Variable Flame Control — Your Way
The APK-17 offers variable flame height control, adjustable manually via the included on/off switch or by remote. The kit includes the VR-1A Variable Remote and Receiver, so you can dial your flame up or down from the comfort of your favorite chair. The fireplace remote: technology finally working in your favor.

Built to Handle the Heat
The valve body is constructed from aluminum with a temperature rating of 175 degrees, and the system ships complete with a triple heat shield for added protection and longevity. These aren't afterthoughts — they're the details that separate a premium system from a budget compromise.

Low-Profile Design
The APK-17 is engineered with a low-profile form factor, keeping the hardware discreet beneath your log set. Please note: the APK-17 valve is larger than the SPK-26 valve and requires 4 additional inches of fireplace width. We recommend confirming your fireplace dimensions before ordering — your installer will thank you.

Compatibility
The APK-17 is designed exclusively for use with Peterson Real Fyre vented gas log burners, including G4, G45, G45-2, P series, PB, and P45 models. It is not compatible with Real Fyre vent-free G9 series log sets. As always, installation must be performed by a qualified professional installer per manual specifications.

Backed by a 2-year warranty covering the APK-17 controls including the valve, this kit is a sound investment in years of effortless fireside enjoyment. At just 3 lbs, it's impressively light for something that carries so much capability.

Elevate your hearth experience. The APK-17 makes starting a fire the easiest part of your evening.
