Real Fyre APK-17 Automatic Safety Pilot Kit, Variable Flame with VR-1A Remote, Low Profile, Natural Gas

Bring fingertip control and proven safety to your vented gas log set with the Real Fyre APK‑17 Automatic Safety Pilot Kit (Natural Gas). A low‑profile valve and triple heat shield tuck neatly behind the burner while protecting components from heat. The included VR‑1A handheld remote delivers true variable flame modulation (HI/LO) and simple ON/OFF operation, with a manual control knob as a built‑in backup. The APK‑17 uses a standing pilot with piezo ignition—light it at the start of the season and enjoy reliable, fast starts. As a safety pilot system, it automatically shuts off the gas if the pilot is extinguished, and it operates without household power so you can use your fireplace during outages. Engineered for Natural Gas installations, this model is rated up to 100,000 BTU and is compatible with many Real Fyre vented burners, including popular G4 and G45 systems. A WS‑3 wall switch can also be added if you prefer a fixed control (sold separately). Burner and log set are not included; verify fireplace space and the burner’s BTU/clearance requirements before purchase. For propane configurations, select the APK‑17P (sold separately).
