BASO L62GB-1 Pilot Switch

The BASO L62GB-1 Pilot Switch is a industrial-grade thermoelectric safety shutoff device designed for standing pilot burner systems. Engineered as a 100% lockout manual reset solution, this switch provides critical protection by interrupting the electrical circuit to both the main gas valve and the pilot burner if the thermocouple fails to detect a flame. It is a direct, identical replacement for the Part Number 68891, maintaining exact form, fit, and function for seamless field integration. Effectively replacing older BASO 853-1 through 853-6 and L62EA models, the L62GB-1 features an internal electric interruption that limits gas flow to the pilot only during the lighting cycle, preventing unsafe gas accumulation. Built with a rugged case rated for ambient temperatures up to 175°F (79°C), this SPST pilot safety switch is compatible with natural gas and LP applications. Its universal mounting capability ensures that technicians can quickly swap out failed components in furnaces, commercial boilers, and specialized industrial equipment like degreasers.

• 100% Lockout Safety: Ensures total gas shutoff to both the main and pilot burners upon flame failure for maximum system security.
• High Temperature Resilience: Rated for surface temperatures up to 175°F, making it suitable for high-demand commercial and industrial environments.
• OEM Compatibility: Identical to 68891 and serves as a drop-in replacement for a wide range of legacy BASO and competitive pilot switches.
• Manual Reset Mechanism: Requires a deliberate technician intervention to restore service, ensuring the underlying cause of flame failure is addressed.
• Thermoelectric Efficiency: Reliable SPST switching action powered by standard thermocouple millivoltage.

Is the L62GB-1 compatible with LP (Propane) gas?
Yes, the L62GB-1 is rated for use with Natural, Liquefied Petroleum (LP), and LP gas-air mixtures.

Can I use this to replace a non-lockout L62AA model?
While it fits similar mounting footprints, the L62GB-1 provides 100% lockout (shutting off pilot gas), whereas the L62AA only shuts off the main burner. Consult equipment specs to ensure shutoff requirements are met.

What mounting positions are supported?
Unlike the L61 series which must be vertical, the L62GB-1 can be mounted in any convenient position using the back case holes or the included universal bracket.
