Rh Peterson APK-17P Automatic Pilot Kit Lp Gas

Product Description

The RH PETERSON APK-17P is a liquid propane automatic pilot kit with a variable flame height remote control, designed for gas fireplace burner systems. The kit includes a high-capacity gas valve rated up to 90,000 BTU/h, giving technicians and installers precise control over flame output without manual adjustment at the burner. The low-profile remote operates the system wirelessly, allowing flame height to be adjusted from across the room. This kit is installed by qualified gas appliance technicians and is suited for both new installations and retrofit applications on compatible burner assemblies.

The APK-17P is designed for use with liquid propane fuel systems. It is compatible with the G4 burner as an add-on kit and is also available factory installed on G45 and G46 burner models. Typical install scenarios include residential gas fireplaces and decorative hearth appliances where remote flame control is desired. The variable flame feature makes this kit well suited for living spaces where manual access to burner controls is limited or inconvenient.
