There's a certain magic in a roaring fire — and an even greater magic in starting it from your favorite chair. The Real Fyre APK-17P Automatic Safety Pilot System is the upgrade your propane vented gas log set deserves, blending safety-first engineering with the kind of intuitive control that makes a cold evening feel instantly civilized.
Designed as a low-profile system, the APK-17P fits neatly into your hearth setup without competing for visual attention. What it lacks in bulk, it more than makes up for in performance — delivering a robust 200,000 BTU maximum input on propane (LP), so your logs burn with the authority they were built for.
At the heart of the system is a standing pilot design paired with a precision valve built on the proven SPK-26 valve body, upgraded with an added modulating servo motor and stepper gear for smooth, responsive flame modulation. The result is a system that doesn't just turn on and off — it listens.
Variable Flame Height Control means you can dial your fire up for a dramatic winter evening or ease it down to a gentle, ambient glow for movie night, all without leaving your seat. The included VR-1A variable remote control and receiver puts that power in the palm of your hand. Prefer to keep it old-school? A manual on/off switch ensures you're never at the mercy of a misplaced remote.
Safety is baked into every layer of this system. The triple heat shield protects the valve assembly from radiant heat, and the valve is rated to operate reliably up to 175 degrees Fahrenheit — because your valve should be as comfortable near the fire as your guests are in front of it.
Compatibility matters, and Real Fyre has thought it through. The APK-17P is engineered for use with Real Fyre vented gas log burners, including the G4, G45, G45-2, and P listed burner series. Please note: this system is designed for vented applications and is not compatible with the vent-free G9 series. And if your setup runs on natural gas rather than propane, the APK-17 (sold separately) is the natural gas counterpart.
At just 3 lbs, the APK-17P is impressively lightweight for the level of control and reliability it delivers. Whether you're upgrading an existing burner or specifying components for a new installation, this pilot system is the professional-grade finishing touch your fireplace has been waiting for.
