Repairs and Replacements 

!

  WARNING: Risk of Explosion or Fire. 

Shut off the gas supply at the main manual shutoff 
valve before installing or servicing the H17. Failure 
to shut off the gas supply can result in the release of 
gas during installation or servicing, which can lead to 
an explosion or fire, and may result in severe 
personal injury or death. 

Field repairs 

must not

 be made to the H17 valve. If 

the thermocouple meets the output listed in Table 1 
and the valve does not function, replace the entire 
valve. Any attempt to repair this assembly voids the 
manufacturer’s warranty. For a replacement valve, 
contact the original equipment manufacturer or the 
nearest BASO Gas Products distributor.
