BASO J994HKA-1 Pilot Burner

The BASO J994HKA-1 Pilot Burner is a heavy-duty standing pilot burner assembly engineered for reliable ignition in commercial and residential gas-fired heating equipment. As a direct J994HKA-1C replacement, this unit features a downward-discharge pilot flame pattern, optimized for stable flame rectification and consistent main burner lighting. Constructed with high-grade materials to withstand high-ambient combustion chamber temperatures, it is compatible with thermocouple-based safety systems. This BASO Gas Products component ensures the precise millivoltage output required for gas valves to remain energized, preventing nuisance lockouts and pilot outages. Designed for easy field integration, it supports standard 1/4-inch pilot tubing and includes a bracket for secure mounting. Whether you are servicing a boiler, furnace, or water heater, the BASO J994HKA-1 provides the industrial-grade durability and OEM fit necessary for demanding HVACR maintenance and repair applications.

Key Benefits for Contractors

• Universal Application Support: Works seamlessly with millivolt gas valves and standard 30mV thermocouples for broad system compatibility.
• Superior Flame Stability: The engineered orifice and port design prevent lifting or flickering, even in varying gas pressure conditions.
• Corrosion-Resistant Hardware: Built to resist oxidation and scale buildup, extending the service life of the pilot assembly in high-cycle environments.
• Precise Ignition Geometry: Properly positioned flame ports ensure rapid, quiet, and reliable transition to the main burner.

Common Questions

What is the difference between J994HKA-1 and J994HKA-1C?
The "C" suffix typically denotes a commercial packaging variant or bulk-certified model, but both share identical technical specifications, mounting dimensions, and performance ratings, making them fully interchangeable.

Does this pilot burner include the orifice?
Yes, the BASO J994HKA-1 comes factory-equipped with a pre-installed orifice sized for Natural Gas (NG). For LP applications, ensure the proper orifice conversion is performed according to the manufacturer's manifold pressure requirements.

Can I use this with a thermopile/powerpile?
This specific standing pilot burner is designed primarily for use with a standard 30mV thermocouple. If your system utilizes a 750mV thermopile, verify the bracket clearance and mounting hole alignment before installation.
