BASO H17BA-2 Gas Valve

The BASO H17BA-2 is a robust automatic shut-off pilot gas valve designed specifically for low-pressure standing pilot applications. Built for high-reliability in demanding environments, this 1/4" NPT valve is compatible with both natural gas and liquid propane (LP) systems. It functions as a safety interlock, automatically cutting off gas flow if the pilot flame is extinguished, preventing hazardous gas accumulation. With a maximum pressure rating of 0.5 PSI and a standard temperature range, this valve is a staple for commercial and residential heating equipment. The 1/8"-27 NPT pilot tap is conveniently located over the outlet for streamlined installation and maintenance. For technicians working on high-efficiency boiler retrofits or standard furnace repairs, the H17BA-2 ensures precise standing pilot safety control while maintaining a small footprint for tight cabinet configurations.

• Universal Fuel Compatibility: Fully rated for use with natural gas and LP gas systems without requiring separate components.
• Safety Interlock: Provides immediate automatic shut-off upon loss of thermocouple millivoltage, ensuring job site safety.
• Precise Engineering: Features a 1/4" NPT inlet/outlet and a dedicated 1/8" NPT pilot tap for accurate pressure monitoring and pilot line connection.
• Durable Construction: Engineered to withstand standard ambient temperature fluctuations common in mechanical rooms.

Is the BASO H17BA-2 compatible with millivolt systems?
Yes, this valve is designed to work in conjunction with a thermocouple or thermopile that generates the necessary millivoltage to hold the safety magnet open during normal operation.

Can this valve be mounted in any orientation?
While BASO valves are versatile, it is standard practice to follow the flow direction arrow on the valve body and typically mount it in a position that prevents debris from settling in the seat.

What is the maximum pressure for this gas valve?
The H17BA-2 is rated for low-pressure applications up to 0.5 PSI (14" W.C.). Exceeding this pressure can damage the internal diaphragm or safety seat.
