Application
The K16BT-18 thermocouple is the ideal replacement or service part for standing pilot gas appliances. When the pilot flame heats the thermocouple tip, it generates a millivolt signal that keeps the gas valve energized. A weak or failed thermocouple is one of the most common causes of pilot outage issues — replacing it with a high performance BASO Gas Products unit restores safe, consistent operation.
