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.
