BASO H15 Series 100% Shutoff - Manual (Page 2)

2 H15 Series BASO 100% Shutoff Automatic Pilot Valve Installation Instructions
6. Pilot gas connections.
a. Internal Pilot Gas Valve Models receive pilot
gas internally from the valve body.
Note: Pilot gas flow comes out of either gas
valve top housing ports.
On internal pilot gas valve models, plumb the
pilot burner fitting to either of the pilot gas
ports on the valve. Plug the unused pilot gas
port on the gas valve. See Figure 1 and
Figure 2.
b. External Pilot Gas Valve Models receive
pilot gas from an external gas source.
Note: Pilot gas flow through the gas valve top
housing can be in either direction as indicated
by the arrows.
On external pilot gas valves models, plumb
the pilot gas line from an external gas source
to either pilot gas port on the gas valve. Plumb
the other pilot gas port to the pilot burner
fitting. See Figure 3.
c. Gas valve models with black arrows are
limited to applications up to 175˚F (80˚C).
d. Gas valve models with red arrows are limited
to applications up to 300˚F (150˚C).
!
WARNING: Risk of Explosion or Fire.
Never connect an external gas line to an internal
pilot gas model. Pilot gas would flow freely in one
port and out the other, which could lead to an
explosion or fire and may result in severe personal
injury or death.
!
WARNING: Risk of Explosion or Fire.
Verify that there are no gas leaks by testing with
appropriate equipment. Never use a match or lighter
to test for the presence of gas. Failure to test
properly can lead to an explosion or fire and may
result in severe personal injury or death.
7. Check for leakage.
a. Shut off the gas at the main manual shutoff
valve and open the pressure connection
between the manual shutoff valve and the
H15 valve.
b. Connect air tubing with a maximum pressure
of 1-1/2 times the valve’s maximum
operating pressure (as indicated on the
valve) to the opened pressure connection.
c. Paint all valve body connections with a rich
soap and water solution.
If bubbles occur, this is an indication of a
leak. To stop a leak, tighten joints and
connections. Replace the part if the leak
cannot be stopped.
If bubbles do not occur, remove the air
tubing and close the pressure connection.
8. Perform the Checkout before leaving the
installation.
