G96 Series BASOTROL® Dual Operator Valve

Applications

The G96 valves are combination, dual operator,

automatic valves available with or without a pressure

regulator. Typical applications include central heating

units, unit heaters, rooftop units, make up air heaters,

and similar applications.

Installation

IMPORTANT: Only qualified personnel should

install or service BASO Gas Products® 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 G96. 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 G96.

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 pressures do not exceed the limits in the

Technical Specifications section.

To install the G96 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 arrow on the valve

body. If the valve is installed 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 G96 may

be damaged in the mounting process if a wrench is

used on any other surface. Using a wrench

incorrectly may void the warranty.

6. Mount the G96 on a horizontal manifold with the magnetic operator pointed up (vertical) or in a position not exceeding 90º from vertical. The valve may also be mounted on a vertical manifold in any position around its axis (see Figure 1). 90º 90º Horizontal mounting limited to 90º from upright. Vertical mounting may be 360º around its axis with the gas flow either up or down but always in the direction of the arrow. Figure 1: G96 Mounting Positions 7. Mount the valve to the pipework.

Setup and Adjustments Checkout Procedure ! 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. The pressure regulator is adjustable and has been set to a specific customer requirement. If a different setting is desired, follow these instructions.
