BASO H15AR-3 Gas Valve
The BASO H15AR-3 is a 3/8" NPT automatic shut-off pilot gas valve designed for mission-critical safety in heating and industrial gas-fired applications. Engineered for use with natural gas and LP gas systems up to a maximum inlet pressure of 0.5 PSI, this valve provides a complete shut-off of both pilot and main burner gas if the flame sensing signal is lost. This model features a 1/8"-27 NPT pilot tap positioned over the inlet and is configured for external pilot gas flow without a rotor "B" valve, making it a drop-in replacement for systems requiring a straight piping design. The corrosion-resistant aluminum body ensures long-term structural integrity in demanding mechanical environments. For technicians servicing commercial fryers, space heaters, or atmospheric burners, the H15AR-3 offers a reliable OEM solution that meets strict safety protocols without the complexity of internal pressure taps.
Key Benefits for Contractors:
- Universal Fuel Compatibility: Field-proven for seamless integration with natural gas and propane (LP) systems.
- Simplified Installation: Standard 3/8" NPT inlet/outlet connections with a 1/8" pilot tap facilitate fast service calls.
- Enhanced Safety: 100% automatic shut-off capability prevents hazardous gas buildup during pilot failure.
- OEM Reliability: Genuine BASO Gas Products component ensures adherence to original equipment manufacturer specifications.
Common Questions Regarding the H15AR-3:
Can this valve be used in high-pressure gas lines?
No, the BASO H15AR-3 is rated for a maximum pressure of 0.5 PSI. Installing this on high-pressure feeds without a regulator will cause component failure.
Does the H15AR-3 include a pilot adjustment screw?
This specific model features external pilot gas flow without a rotor "B" valve, meaning it does not have an internal pilot adjustment rotor. Verify your flow requirements before installation.
Is this valve compatible with thermocouple or thermopile systems?
The H15AR series is typically utilized with standard thermocouples to maintain the internal electromagnet; ensure your lead length and millivolt output match the valve’s drop-out range.
