IMPORTANT: Only qualified personnel should install or service BASO® Gas Products. These instructions are a guide for such personnel. Carefully follow all instructions in this document and all instructions for the appliance.
IMPORTANT: Make all gas installations in accordance with applicable local, national, and regional regulations.
CAUTION: Risk of Electric Shock.
Disconnect power supply before making electrical connections to avoid electric shock.
Note: In applications that do not require electrical power, disregard the previous caution.
WARNING: Risk of Explosion or Fire.
Shut off the gas supply at the main manual shutoff valve before installing or servicing the H43. 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.
IMPORTANT:
Verify that the valve is installed only in applications where the specified maximum ambient (surface) temperature and maximum operating pressure do not exceed the limits in the Technical Specifications section.
To install the H43 valve:

  1. Shut off power to the appliance (if applicable).

  2. Shut off the gas at the main manual shutoff valve.

  3. Ensure that the gas flows through the valve body in the direction indicated by the arrow on the valve body. If the valve is install with the gas flow in the opposite direction of the arrow, leakage can occur.
    IMPORTANT:
    Do not use a wrench on any surface other than the casting flats provided at the inlet and outlet ends of the valve body. The H43 may be damaged in the mounting process if a wrench is used on any other surface. Using a wrench incorrectly may void the warranty.

  4. Mount the valve to the pipework. Mount the H43 valve in any convenient position with the reset button and manual valve handle accessible. Use an approved pipe joint sealing compound on the male threads before assembly. Remove excess compound after mounting the valve to the pipework. Threads of the pipe and nipples must be smooth and free of tears and burrs. Steam clean all piping to remove foreign substances such as cutting oil or thread chips. A sediment trap needs to be installed in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54 (Figure 1).

  5. Attach the thermocouple securely to the pilot burner, and screw the terminal end to the BASO® power unit terminal on the valve. Make sure this connection is clean. Tighten the thermocouple lead nut finger tight, plus a maximum of 1/8 tun.
    Do not overtighten

  6. Attach the pilot gas line to the pilot burner fitting and the pilot gas connection of the H43 valve.
    WARNING: Risk of Explosion or Fire.
    Verify that there are no gas leaks by testing with appropriate equipment. Never use a match or lighter to test for the presence of gas. Failure to test properly can lead to an explosion or fire and may result in severe personal injury or death.

  7. Check for leakage:
    a. Shut off the gas at the main manual shutoff valve and open the pressure connection between the manual shutoff valve and the H43 valve.
    b. Connect air tubing with a maximum pressure of 1-1/2 times the valve’s maximum operating pressure (as indicated on the valve) to the opened pressure connection
    c. Paint all valve body connections with a rich soap and water solution.
    If bubbles occur, this is an indication of a leak.
    To stop a leak, tighten joints and connections.
    Replace the part if the leak cannot be stopped.
    If bubbles do not occur, remove the air tubing and close the pressure connection.
    Perform the Checkout section before leaving the installation.

Setup and Adjustments
Checkout
WARNING: Risk of Explosion or Fire.
Follow this or an equivalent checkout procedure after installation. Before leaving the installation, verify that the gas valve functions properly and that the system has no gas leaks. Gas leaks can lead to an explosion or fire, and may result in severe personal injury or death.
Make sure all components are functioning properly by performing the following test.

  1. Test all joints and connections for leaks with a soap solution.

  2. Formodels H43A and H43B, close the shutoff valve and wait at least 5 minutes for unburned gas to escape from the appliance. Reopen the shutoff valve.
    For Model H43G_, close the valve. Pilot and the main burner gas are shut off when the valve is in the Off position. To turn the valve off, push in the handle and turn it to the Off position while holding the handle in (see Figure 2 for handle positions) Wait at least 5 minutes for unburned gas to escape from the appliance.

  3. Tum the handle to the pilot position (see handle on the valve).
