Robertshaw 5300-041 Thermostat

The Robertshaw 5300-041 is a heavy-duty high limit thermostat designed for precision temperature regulation in commercial food service equipment. This SPST (Single Pole Single Throw) control operates on an open-on-rise logic, breaking the circuit when the temperature exceeds the set point to prevent equipment overheating. It features a broad temperature range of 60°F to 250°F (15°C to 121°C) and utilizes a 48-inch copper capillary for flexible routing within the appliance chassis. With an electrical rating of 30 Amps at 250V AC, this Robertshaw 5300 series mechanical thermostat is built to handle the rigorous duty cycles of commercial fryers, ovens, and steam tables. The 3/16" x 11-5/16" nickel-plated bulb ensures rapid thermal response times, providing reliable protection for critical heating elements. When replacing an Robertshaw electric thermostat, ensure the capillary is not kinked during installation to maintain accurate fluid-expansion calibration.

• High Ampacity Rating: Rated for 30A at 250V AC, making it suitable for high-draw commercial heating applications.
• Durable Construction: Features a rugged copper capillary and nickel-plated bulb for corrosion resistance in harsh kitchen environments.
• Precision Safety: The open-high functionality acts as a reliable failsafe to prevent thermal runaway.
• Flexible Mounting: The 48-inch lead length allows for versatile placement away from the primary heat source.

Is the Robertshaw 5300-041 a direct replacement for other 5300 series models?
Compatibility depends on the specific temperature range and capillary length. This model is calibrated for a 60°F to 250°F range; always verify the K-type or series suffix before installation.

Can the capillary be cut to fit shorter runs?
No, the capillary contains a specialized fluid for thermal expansion. Cutting or kinking the capillary will destroy the unit's ability to sense temperature and void functionality.

What are the mechanical mounting specifications for this control?
This unit uses a standard diaphragm-style housing with two-bolt mounting, compatible with most commercial HVACR and kitchen equipment brackets.
