BASO H15DB-1 Gas Valve

The BASO H15DB-1 Gas Valve is an automatic shut-off pilot gas valve engineered for critical safety in residential and commercial HVACR systems. Designed for use with Natural Gas and LP Gas up to 0.5 PSI, this 3/4" NPT valve provides a 100% shut-off whenever the pilot flame is extinguished. The H15DB-1 is a direct replacement for the BASO H15DB-1C, featuring an internal pilot gas flow design without a rotor "B" valve. This "B" type valve configuration ensures efficient gas delivery to the pilot through a 1/8"-27 NPT tap located over the inlet. Built to meet rigorous industrial standards, this valve is a staple for technicians maintaining boilers, furnaces, and large-scale commercial heating equipment. Its lack of a pressure tap simplifies installation by reducing potential leak paths while maintaining high-integrity gas flow control in demanding environments.

Key Benefits for Contractors

• Universal Compatibility: Works seamlessly with both LP and Natural Gas applications in systems up to 0.5 PSI.
• High-Flow Capacity: Standard 3/4" NPT inlet and outlet ports facilitate high-volume gas delivery for industrial burners.
• Internal Pilot Design: Features internal pilot gas flow for a streamlined profile, reducing the need for external bypass piping.
• Reliable Safety Shut-Off: Provides 100% automatic pilot gas shut-off to prevent hazardous gas accumulation if the pilot goes out.
• Durable Construction: Manufactured by BASO Gas Products to withstand the high-cycle demands of commercial heating.

Common Questions

Can I use the H15DB-1 to replace an H15DB-1C?
Yes, the BASO H15DB-1 is a direct, identical replacement for the H15DB-1C model with the same technical specifications.

Does this valve include a pressure tap for field testing?
No, this specific model is designed without a pressure tap to minimize potential leak points and simplify the valve body; pressure must be measured at other manifold points.

What is the purpose of the 1/8"-27 NPT pilot tap?
The tap is located over the inlet to provide a consistent, regulated gas supply to the pilot burner, ensuring the thermocouple/thermopile generates the necessary voltage for valve operation.
