Is the Safety Pilot Kit (SPK) worth purchasing?
A safety pilot has a standing pilot. It is lit all the time. You do not need to match light. If the valve is turned on, it automatically lights the log set. You can not turn the valve on and let raw gas into the room. If you go with a manual valve. You turn on the valve and strike a match to light, like a gas grill. It is possible for the valve to be turned on without igniting the log set causing raw gas to come into the house. Many areas require a safety pilot on natural gas. It is required on propane gas nationwide.
