Tim from Terre Haute, IN asked:
Is the APK-17 a compatible replacement for a SPK-26 Safety Pilot Kit?
Is the APK-17 a compatible replacement for a SPK-26 Safety Pilot Kit?
The SPK-26 can indeed be swapped for an APK-17 valve assembly. The APK-17 valve is based on the SPK-26 valve body, but adds a modulating servo motor and stepper gear. As such, the valve is larger and 4 additional inches of middle width are needed in the fireplace for the valve to fit properly.

Works perfectly as an upgrade

I have a large gas log fireplace that is very old. The old RH Peterson TK-1 manual control was leaking and needed replacement. Some gas companies and vendors said that I would have to replace the burners as well, that you can't just upgrade the control, but I did some research and concluded that that is not true, if your burners are still okay. I chose the APK-17P, which is the functional equivalent, but with remote control, and hired my gas company to install it. It works perfectly, and we no longer have to reach into the fireplace to enjoy some warmth. We are in Florida, so only use it a few times a year. Do not try to install one yourself, testing for leaks is not a consumer task. Hire a pro and you'll be very happy with this product, assuming it's compatible with your new or existing fireplace rig.
