Robertshaw 5300-652 Thermostat

The Robertshaw 5300-652 is a heavy-duty high-limit thermostat designed for precision temperature regulation in commercial cooking applications. As a 5300 series electric thermostat, this SPST (Single Pole Single Throw) control features an open-on-high configuration, ensuring safety and performance in high-heat environments. With a temperature range of 175°F to 550°F and a fixed 25°F differential, it provides reliable thermal protection for fryers, ovens, and griddles. The unit utilizes a 5-foot capillary tube with a 3/16" x 11-5/8" nickel-plated bulb, offering superior heat sensing and durability. Rated for 30 Amps at 250V AC, this mechanical thermostat is a direct replacement for various OEM controls, facilitating seamless integration for field technicians during critical repairs. Its rugged construction ensures stable calibration even under the constant thermal cycling typical of professional kitchen equipment.

• High Ampacity Rating: Rated for up to 30 Amps, making it suitable for high-draw heating elements.
• Precision Sensing: The 60-inch nickel-plated copper capillary allows for flexible mounting while maintaining accurate temperature sensing.
• Robust Construction: Built to withstand commercial environments, the snap-action switch provides a clean break to prevent arcing.
• Broad Compatibility: Functions as a versatile HVACR replacement part for diverse food service equipment brands requiring a 550 degree limit.

What is the electrical configuration of this control?
The 5300-652 is an SPST switch that opens the circuit on temperature rise, specifically designed as a primary or limit control in electric heating circuits.

Can the capillary tube be shortened if it is too long for the application?
No, the capillary tube contains a precise volume of fluid; cutting or kinking it will destroy the calibration and render the thermostat inoperable.

Is this unit suitable for direct gas valve control?
This is an electric thermostat designed for AC voltage loads. For gas applications, verify the millivolt or solenoid valve requirements of the specific appliance.
