Rh Peterson APK-17N Automatic Pilot Kit Natural Gas

Product Description

The RH PETERSON APK-17N is an automatic pilot kit designed for natural gas fireplace burner systems. It includes a variable flame height remote control and a high-capacity gas valve rated up to 90,000 BTU/h, giving technicians and installers a complete retrofit solution in a single package. The low-profile receiver and remote allow flame adjustment without manual access to the burner compartment. This kit is typically installed by gas fireplace technicians or licensed gas fitters working on decorative hearth appliances.

The APK-17N is designed for use with the G4 series natural gas burner as an add-on pilot kit. It is also available factory-installed on the G45 and G46 burners. The variable flame remote makes this kit well suited for residential fireplace installations where convenient flame control is a priority. Installation adds remote ignition and flame modulation capability to compatible burner assemblies without requiring a full burner replacement.
