H15 Series BASO® 100%
Shutoff, Automatic Pilot Valves
The H15 Series BASO® pilot valves provide safe
lighting and complete shutoff of pilot and main burner
gas on a variety of domestic and commercial gas
burning equipment. Applications include room
heaters, wall heaters, unit heaters, central heating
equipment, crop dryers, dish washing machines,
industrial ovens, and degreasing equipment.
In addition to US and Canadian certifications,
the H15 models without a rotor “B” valve are
EC Certified.

Product Overview
Application
The H15 series automatic pilot valves provide safe lighting
and complete shutoff of pilot and main burner gas. They
are designed for standing pilot applications and are
suitable for use with natural gas, Liquefied Petroleum (LP)
gas, manufactured gas, mixed gas, or LP gas-air mixtures
at pressures up to 35 mbar (0.5 psi). Models without a
rotor “B” valve are suitable for operation over a
temperature range of -40 to 80°C (-40 to 175°F). Models
with a rotor “B” valve are suitable for operation over a
temperature range of 0 to 80°C (32 to 175°F). The H15_B
and H15_R models are suitable for operation over a
temperature range of -40 to 150°C (-40 to 300°F).
The use of single function components provides
maximum flexibility in manifold makeup. By combining
the H15 pilot valves with other single function
components (pressure regulator, automatic gas valve,
manual valve), the exact requirements of a wide
variety of applications can be met.
Description
H15 valves are 100% shutoff devices with compact,
cast aluminum valve bodies. A rotor “B” valve is
provided as an option for manual adjustment of the
pilot flame size (see Figure 2). The flow interruption
feature allows gas to flow only to the pilot during the
lighting operation.
Mounting
H15 valves may be mounted in any convenient
position.
