BASO Gas Products, Inc. K16RA-72H Thermocouple

The BASO Gas Products K16RA-72H Husky Series Nickel-Plated Thermocouple delivers reliable standing-pilot sensing for gas-valve systems with a full 72-inch length (1829 mm), ideal for flexible routing in furnace and boiler installations. Designed for thermoelectric gas valve applications, the nickel-plated construction adds corrosion resistance to extend life in demanding environments, and it connects to valves via an 11/32-32 male nut connector for standard thread-in bracket installations. The thermocouple provides an open-circuit voltage range of 25–35 mV, with a minimum open-circuit of 17 mV and a minimum closed-circuit of 8 mV, ensuring measurable signal across typical operating conditions. It is rated for a maximum hot junction temperature of 1500°F (816°C), suitable for high-temperature pilot systems. The K16RA-72H is CSA (AGA/CGA) listed (certificate 229521-1656071), underscoring its compatibility with approved gas-control configurations. While primarily designed for BASO’s Husky lineup, this nickel-plated K16RA series thermocouple can be used with other manufacturers’ standing-pilot setups that require a thread-in base and the 11/32-32 connector, making it a versatile option when longer lead lengths are needed for standing-pilot gas valve applications.
