Robertshaw 1720-006 Gas Oven Safety

Ensure reliable commercial and residential kitchen operations with the Robertshaw 1720-006 Gas Oven Safety Valve. This 1720 Series thermomagnetic safety valve is a critical gas flow control component designed to cut off fuel delivery instantly if a pilot outage occurs. Engineered for durability, the 1720-006 features a 3/8" NPT pipe inlet/outlet and a 3/16" tube pilot connection, making it a versatile drop-in for diverse commercial gas oven configurations, infrared heaters, and recreational vehicle appliances.

The thermomagnetic safety mechanism relies on a millivolt signal generated by a compatible thermocouple. When the pilot flame is lost, the magnet assembly de-energizes, allowing a heavy-duty internal spring to override the magnetic force and snap the safety valve shut. This TS11J model is rated for ambient temperatures up to 300°F (149°C), ensuring stable performance in high-heat environments. For technicians servicing BJWA, FD, or GS series thermostats, this valve provides seamless integration and follows standard NPT gas fitting specifications for a leak-free installation.

• Fail-Safe Protection: Automatic gas shut-off triggers immediately upon pilot flame failure to prevent hazardous gas accumulation.
• Broad Compatibility: Replaces and integrates with Robertshaw TS series components and most standard gas oven safety systems.
• High-Temperature Resilience: Sustains operation in demanding galley and kitchen environments with a 300°F ambient rating.
• Technical Precision: Standard 3/8 inch NPT ports and 3/16 inch tubing connections simplify field replacement for HVACR contractors.

Is the 1720-006 compatible with my existing thermocouple?
This valve is designed for use with standard thermocouples that generate the necessary millivolt signal to hold the magnet assembly open during normal operation.

Can this valve be used for both LP and Natural Gas?
Yes, the Robertshaw 1720-006 is a thermomagnetic safety control suitable for both natural gas and liquid propane systems, provided the line pressure does not exceed 0.5 PSI.

How do I reset the valve after a pilot outage?
Once the pilot is relit and the thermocouple has reached operational temperature (typically 30-60 seconds), the safety valve reset button must be depressed to manually engage the magnet until the thermomagnetic circuit takes over.
