baso pilot safety valve made in china

Gas Safety ValvesThese valves automatically control main gas flow. Our automatic pilot valves shut off both the main and pilot gases. Pilot gas is tapped from the main line within the control. Gas will flow only to the pilot burner when the reset button is depressed. The manual pilot valve stop can be adjusted for maximum pilot flow.

Pilot BurnersThese “J Series” combination pilot burners are universal replacement pilot burners and are supplied in three models. Mounting brackets on all four sides of each burner permit adaptation to almost any application. We also offer pilot burner fittings (R Series) and replacement flame sensors and inlet fittings (Y Series).

Since its inception in 1914, BASO has been recognized as an innovative leader in developing and manufacturing a wide range of quality gas control products and accessories. Originally called Milwaukee Gas Specialty Company, the facility produced gas range accessories and later added products for water heaters and furnaces.

When the company was granted an exclusive license to manufacture and market the Baltimore-Automatic Shut-Off (BASO) switch in 1934, Milwaukee Gas Specialty Company and BASO quickly became synonymous. The company’s name was officially changed to BASO, Inc. in 1957.

BASO Gas Products LLC, was formed on August 30, 2004, when Johnson Controls sold its BASO gas valve and pilot burner business in Watertown, Wisconsin, to George Sopko. For the previous 12 years, George had been the Johnson Controls Watertown Plant Manager. The vision to “go it alone” and purchase this business arose from the strong belief that success lies with a dedicated team of people focused on the customer and product quality, while operating in an environment using world class manufacturing methods and practices.

Today, locally owned BASO continues with the same employees, which means customers can continue to obtain the same BASO products, manufactured and supported by the same people, with the same dedication to quality.

Flame safety is a critical aspect of any gas-fired system, but it can present puzzling choices. What equipment do you need? Which parts can be substituted? At Charles A. Hones, Inc. we use Johnson Control’ line of Baso™ safety valves and other components to tailor flame safety on Buzzer gas burners and furnaces to the user’s needs. This brief guide can help you select the right equipment for your job.

The H15 series Baso valve will provide 100% shut down of gas flow in the event of pilot failure. The H15 series valve is recommended for low pressure gas only (1/2 PSI or 14”w/c). We supply this valve in four types of sets, as follows.

This set can be used on larger pipe burners and burners such as FR-14 and multiple pipe burners that include cross flame pilots. 1” Baso set can be used on larger ring burner and discport burners (606, 606A, 312 and 313), larger 2020 Fire-Box oven furnaces and larger melters (#2700, 171A and 172). List $250.

This set is used on applications which require a stronger, more reliable pilot. This set is used on V11, V12 burners, larger pipe burners, nozzle burners, immersion burners, and application in which the pilot is subjected to reflective and/or radiant heat. This pilot set is often used when the pilot is located several inches from the main burner, such as on the outside wall of a boiler or oven. In such applications, the pilot is positioned to fire through a “pilot port” to ignite the main burner. List $361.

This set is the big brother of the set above. It is used in all of the same applications in which a rugged cast iron pilot is required. We recommend this set on the largest ring burners (V13, V14, V116A-113A), the largest discport burners (607A, 608A), and all the larger nozzle and immersion burners (VNB 250, 300, and IH 250, 300). List $431.

Note: Many Buzzer furnaces already include a #50 cast iron pilot (including the 171A, #250, #2700, ACR 60, and 185 salt bath furnace). Many Buzzer furnaces also come equipped with a redundant pilot system in which the smaller J99 style pilot ignites off the larger #50 cast iron pilot. Please call the factory if you have any questions. Additionally, parts can be substituted. For example, for an IH300 straight style complete with solenoid valves, gas cocks, and pressure gauges, you will need to replace the 60” thermocouple with a 72” thermocouple. This would add $16.00 to the cost. Please refer to the parts price list or call the Hones factory to assist in such modifications.

Gas valves are the devices that HVAC manufacturers and installation experts use to ensure safety and security in residential, or commercial settings. Gas valves help to control the flow of gas within a system, ensuring that everything runs according to plan. At Furnace Part Source, we find and stock the most reliable gas valves, from the best brands around the country, to give you performance that you can trust.

Whether you’re looking for diaphragm gas valves that contain a valve and actuator in a single body, or you need a solution in the form of combustion gas valves, you can find everything you’re looking for here at Furnace Part Source. We provide burner tubes, furnace gas valves, main burner assembly parts, slow open kits, and more. Our parts can handle gas in boilers, commercial water heaters, and heating systems. For that reason, we recommend that you peruse the various options for repair and replacement.

Standard solenoid valves are used for pneumatic gases; testing gas pressure at the valves is often the first thing HVAC technicians do when they are called in to check on faulty furnaces. Even though these systems are generally built to last, gas furnace valves are the parts more likely to need replacement over the life of the furnace.

For this reason, the Furnace Part Source keeps a wide assortment of valves to fit all major brands as well as systems that are not so common. Below are some of our most popular gas valves; they are offered at wholesale prices and are ready to ship on the spot.

This valve is for natural gas Carrier furnaces. It is a factory authorized part that includes the manifold and all other pieces needed for complete replacement.

Honeywell gas valves represent the brand’s dedication to quality. This universal part will fit various Honeywell gas appliances. In the case of Honeywell 24 Vac furnaces, it can handle either natural or liquefied petroleum gas when the adequate conversion kit is used. The current version of this gas valve features a compact design with a rotation radius of about four inches, thus making it easy to reposition as needed even in the tightest spaces.

Popular Emerson furnaces feature HSI and DSI electronic ignition systems. The 36J22-214 Emerson gas valve provides a one-stage fast opening system that fits into a very compact part for half-inch pipes. This is a straight-flow valve that includes a conversion kit for LP gas.

The Selectra line of modulator gas valves from Maxitrol feature unique systems for quick temperature control without the need of an actuating motor or butterfly valve. The M411 gas valve will fit half-inch and 3/8″ pipes. Both direct and indirect gas-fired appliances can be regulated with Selectra gas valves.

You need to know the signs of when your gas valve is failing. The first is if the valve is receiving an allotted number of volts to open or close — 24 is the standard –and you hear no internal clicking. That’s a sign that it may not be opening or closing.

Use an electronic gas sniffer to detect leaks. Leaks can be dangerous with the gas’s combustion properties. Assess pressure levels as well to see if the valve may not be working due to improper settings. Unclog your burner orifices and ductwork, since a lack of flow can also be the culprit.

If you have conducted all of these steps and the gas valve is still not working, then replace the valves. Never bang them with any tools to open them because that can risk an explosion.

When it comes to finding the right parts and equipment for your HVAC equipment needs, you can trust Furnace Part Source’s extensive catalog. Active since 2006, the catalog has more than 500,000 items offered at wholesale prices. You will find exactly what you need to replace control valves and prevent imminent shutoffs.

High pressure design allows use on gas pressures up to 25 PSI. Pilot gas is taken from within the control. Gas will pass to both pilot and main burner when reset button is depressed (H19RA 3/8" threads). Gas will not pass to the main burner equipped with flow interupter (H19LA 3/8" threads or the H19NA 1/4" threads) when reset button is depressed. Loss of signal from thermocouple shuts off both main and pilot burners. For complete specs on these Baso Valves, download the PDF below.
