CE Approved Class B Shutoff Gas Valve
Applications
The BGA171/H96 Series shutoff gas valve is an
electrically operated shutoff valve that automatically
open and close on a demand signal from a thermostat
or other controlling device. Typical applications include
heaters, wall furnaces, commercial cooking
equipment, and similar applications. The BGA171/H96
can be used with natural gas and LP gas at pressures
up to 0.5 psi. Its compact size permits installation in
space restrictive applications.
Installation
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.
!
WARNING: Risk of Explosion or Fire.
Shut off the gas supply at the main manual shutoff
valve before installing or servicing the BGA171/H96.
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.
!
WARNING: Risk of Explosion, Fire, or
Electric Shock. Label all wires before they are
disconnected when replacing or servicing the
BGA171/H96. Wiring errors can cause improper or
dangerous operation and may result in an explosion,
fire, or electric shock leading to 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 does not exceed the limits in the
Technical Specifications
section.
To install the BGA171/H96 valve:
1.
Shut off power to the appliance.
2. Shut off the gas at the main manual shutoff valve.
3. Label each wire with the correct terminal
designation prior to disconnection.
4. Compare the voltage on the valve with the power
source voltage to ensure the correct unit is being
installed. For valves with 25-volt coils, use a
National Electrical Code (NEC), Class 2
transformer.
Note: The transformer must be mounted to a
grounded metal enclosure.
5. Ensure that the gas flows through the valve body
in the direction indicated by the “IN” and “OUT”
on the valve body. If the valve is installed with the
gas flow in the opposite direction, 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
BGA171/H96 may be damaged in the mounting
process if a wrench is used on any other surface.
Using a wrench incorrectly may void the warranty.
