Description
The BASO Gas Products K16RM-144 is a nickel plated thermocouple engineered for reliable performance in standing pilot ignition systems. With a generous 144-inch lead length, this thermocouple provides the flexibility needed for a wide range of installation configurations, including those where the pilot burner and gas valve are located at a significant distance from one another.
How It Works
A thermocouple operates on the Seebeck effect — when the tip of the thermocouple is heated by the standing pilot flame, it generates a small millivolt signal that holds the gas valve open. The K16RM-144 delivers an open circuit output in the 25–35 mV range, providing the consistent signal strength required to keep safety shutoff valves energized during normal operation. If the pilot flame is extinguished for any reason, the millivolt output drops and the gas valve closes automatically, preventing unburned gas from accumulating.

Application
The K16RM-144 is ideal for replacement or new installation in furnaces, boilers, water heaters, and other gas-fired appliances that utilize a continuously burning standing pilot. The 144-inch lead length makes it especially suited for larger equipment or installations where routing the thermocouple lead requires extra reach.
