BASO K19AT-60 Thermocouple

The BASO K19AT-60 Thermocouple is a high-performance Super Slim Jim universal replacement thermocouple designed for standing pilot ignition systems in residential and commercial gas appliances. This 60-inch thermocouple is the direct replacement for the 1970-060, offering a reliable 25-35 mV open circuit range to ensure precise flame sensing and safety shut-off functionality. Engineered for tight burner assemblies, the slim-line tip allows for easier positioning in space-constrained pilots found in gas furnaces, water heaters, and commercial cooking equipment. The nickel-plated leadwire and stainless steel outer sheath provide maximum thermal resistance and long-term durability under constant high-temperature exposure. By maintaining a stable millivolt output, the K19AT-60 prevents nuisance drop-outs and ensures the gas valve remains energized during normal operation.

• Universal Compatibility: Includes a spring clip and adapter hardware to replace most standard and specialized thermocouples used by major OEMs.
• Extended 60-Inch Length: Offers ample lead wire for large-scale equipment or units where the gas valve and pilot assembly are significantly separated.
• Optimized Millivolt Output: The 25-35 mV range provides a robust signal to the power pile or safety magnet, ensuring reliable pilot hold.
• Slim Jim Design: The narrow profile of the thermocouple head facilitates faster installation in modern, compact burner profiles.
• Direct Cross-Reference: Specifically engineered to replace the 1970-060 thermocouple without requiring modification.

Can the K19AT-60 be used in commercial water heaters?
Yes, as long as the system utilizes a standing pilot and the 60-inch lead length is sufficient to reach the gas control valve.

Is this compatible with Robertshaw or Honeywell pilot burners?
The BASO K19AT-60 is a universal replacement; its Slim Jim design and included mounting hardware allow it to fit most major pilot burner brands.

What should the millivolt reading be under load?
While the open circuit range is 25-35 mV, you should typically expect a closed circuit reading of 12-17 mV depending on the internal resistance of your gas valve.
