BASO H17BA-6 Gas Valve

The BASO H17BA-6 is a heavy-duty automatic shut-off pilot gas valve designed for standing pilot systems in commercial and industrial HVACR applications. Engineered for natural gas and LP gas compatibility, this valve handles pressures up to 0.5 PSI. It features a 1/4" NPT inlet and outlet with a 1/8"-27 NPT pilot tap positioned over the outlet, ensuring precise pilot gas flow control. This model provides 100% shut-off of both main and pilot gas should the flame go out, maintaining system safety. The H17BA-6 operates within a standard temperature range and serves as a direct, identical replacement for the H17BA-6C. For technicians specializing in gas valve troubleshooting, this component offers a reliable mechanical solution for standing pilot ignition systems where consistent performance and strict pressure tolerances are required.

Key Benefits for Technicians

• Universal Fuel Compatibility: Field-proven for both natural gas and propane gas valves applications.
• Safety Redundancy: Provides 100% shut-off functionality for both pilot and main gas lines.
• Interchangeable Design: Fully compatible and identical in specification to the H17BA-6C model.
• Precision Porting: Includes a 1/8"-27 NPT pilot tap located over the outlet for streamlined installation.
• Durable Construction: Built to withstand standard operating temperatures in high-demand environments.

Common Questions

What is the maximum pressure rating for the BASO H17BA-6?
This valve is rated for low-pressure gas applications up to a maximum of 0.5 PSI (14 inches water column).

Does the H17BA-6 replace the H17BA-6C?
Yes, the BASO H17BA-6 and H17BA-6C are technically identical and can be used interchangeably in the field.

Can this valve be used with a 750mV thermopile?
The H17BA-6 is typically used in thermocouple-based systems; always verify the thermocouple vs thermopile millivolt requirements for your specific pilot burner assembly.
