BASO Gas Products. Carefully follow all instructions
in this bulletin and all instructions on the appliance.

WARNING: Risk of Fire or Explosion.
The system must meet all applicable local, national,
and regional regulations. Improper installation may
cause gas leaks, explosions, property damage, and
injuries.
!
WARNING: Risk of Fire or Explosion.
To prevent leakage of upstream gas, shut off the gas
supply at the main manual shutoff valve before
installing or servicing the BGD258 valve. 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.
Mounting
!
CAUTION: Risk of Equipment Damage.
To prevent damage to the valve when mounting to
pipework, do not use a wrench on any surface other
than the casting flats provided at the inlet and outlet
ends of the valve body.
To install the BGD258 valve:
1. Ensure that the specified maximum ambient
(surface) temperature is not exceeded (see the
Technical Data section).
2. Ensure that the power supply voltage is
compatible with the required control valve voltage.
3. Shut off the gas at the main manual shutoff valve.
4. When installing the valve on the manifold, ensure
that the gas flows through the valve body in the
direction indicated by the arrow on the valve body.
If the valve is installed with the gas flow in the
opposite direction of the arrow, leakage can occur.
5. Mount the valve to the pipework. The BGD258
valve may be mounted on a horizontal manifold
with the solenoid coils pointed up (vertical) or in
any position not exceeding 90
° from the vertical.
The valve also may be mounted on a vertical
manifold in any position around its axis (see
Figure 1). Do not install the solenoid coil upside
down. Install vertically wherever possible.
