Robertshaw 5300-029 Thermostat

For industrial field technicians maintaining heavy-duty commercial kitchen gear, the Robertshaw 5300-029 Electric Thermostat serves as a high-precision SPST snap-acting switch. This direct-acting control is engineered for the commercial cooking industry, specifically designed to handle high-temperature environments ranging from 200°F to 400°F. Featuring a 96-inch capillary tube, this model provides the lead length necessary for versatile remote sensing bulb placement in deep fryers and griddles. The 5300 Series Uni-Kit design utilizes silver contacts and heavy-duty terminals to ensure sustained accuracy under continuous electrical load. With a 5/16" x 8" nickel bulb and a 13/16" stem length with the flat in the "down" position, this thermostat functions as an exact replacement for Vulcan Hart 24145-20 and 105685-31 units. Its rugged, compact chassis and 8°F mechanical differential provide reliable temperature regulation for critical kitchen line equipment.
