BASO K16BT-24 Thermocouple

The BASO K16BT-24 Thermocouple is a high-performance standing pilot ignition system component engineered for demanding commercial and industrial thermoelectric applications. As a member of the "Husky" series, this 24-inch gas thermocouple is designed to deliver a robust 25-35 mV open circuit range, ensuring reliable millivolt output for automatic pilot controls. This model features a standard 11/32-32 male nut connector and is functionally identical to the K16BT-24H, providing a direct replacement for high-output pilot burners.

For service technicians, the BASO K16BT-24 offers exceptional thermal stability with a maximum hot junction temperature rating of 1500°F (816°C). It comes packaged with a split sleeve adapter and terminal nut to streamline installation across various HVACR heating equipment and catalytic heaters. Whether you are performing a standing pilot repair or a system upgrade, this heavy-duty thermocouple ensures the precise temperature regulation and rapid response times required for safe and efficient gas appliance operation.

Key Benefits

• Universal Compatibility: Direct cross-reference for the K16BT-24H and compatible with most BASO brand automatic pilot controls.
• High Output Performance: Provides a consistent 25-35 mV open circuit output to maintain reliable gas valve hold-in.
• Extreme Temperature Resilience: Engineered to withstand hot junction temperatures up to 1500°F without signal degradation.
• Contractor-Ready Hardware: Includes necessary split sleeve and nut adapters for a secure, thread-in fit in diverse mounting brackets.
• Flexible Reach: The 24" length accommodates standard and extended pilot assembly configurations in commercial ovens and boilers.

Common Questions

What is the difference between the K16BT-24 and the K16BT-24H?
They are technically identical. The "H" suffix typically denotes the "Husky" branding used in specific distribution channels, but the millivolt output, length, and threading are the same.

Will this thermocouple work with other brands of pilot burners?
Yes, while designed for BASO controls, the standard thread-in design and included adapters allow it to be used as a high-performance replacement for many other manufacturers' standing pilot systems.

Is the millivolt range sufficient for a gas safety valve?
The 25-35 mV range is specifically designed for thermoelectric safety valves that require a standard millivolt signal to remain open during operation.
