BASO Gas Products K16BA-72 Thermocouple Overview
The BASO Gas Products K16BA-72 is a heavy-duty thermocouple engineered for reliable performance in standing pilot ignition systems. With a generous 72-inch lead length and a 25–35 mV open circuit output range, this thermocouple provides the consistent millivolt signal required to keep gas valve safety circuits energized and pilot flames proven. It is an ideal direct replacement for worn or failed thermocouples in residential and light commercial heating appliances, water heaters, boilers, and furnaces equipped with standing pilot assemblies.
Key Features
- Open circuit millivolt output range: 25–35 mV
- Lead length: 72 inches (6 feet) for flexible routing and installation
- Designed for use in standing pilot ignition systems
- Generates a millivolt signal to hold gas valve safety circuit open while pilot flame is present
- Durable construction for long service life in high-temperature pilot environments
- Compatible with a wide range of gas-fired appliances including furnaces, boilers, water heaters, and space heaters
- Johnson Controls quality engineering for dependable, consistent performance
Application
The K16BA-72 is specifically designed for standing pilot ignition systems, where the thermocouple tip is positioned in the pilot flame. Heat from the flame generates a millivolt signal that keeps the gas valve’s safety circuit energized. If the pilot flame is extinguished, the signal drops and the gas valve closes automatically, preventing unburned gas from accumulating — a critical safety function in any gas-fired appliance.
