The Robertshaw 5300-023 Commercial Thermostat is a heavy-duty, snap-acting electric thermostat designed for high-demand commercial cooking and industrial environments. This SPST (Single Pole Single Throw) control utilizes Direct Acting (D.A.) logic to maintain precise thermal regulation within a range of 175°F to 550°F. Built for durability, the unit features silver contacts and heavy-duty terminals to ensure sustained accuracy and reliable switching under heavy electrical loads. The 60-inch capillary tube provides extensive reach for versatile mounting, paired with a 3/16" x 11-5/8" nickel-plated sensing bulb for responsive temperature detection.

As a Robertshaw 5300 series component, this thermostat serves as a direct replacement for various OEM food service parts, including Vulcan Hart 411506-6 and Lang 30402-07. The Robertshaw 5300-023 is engineered with a 1/4" stem and includes a 4-way insert with an adjusting knob for straightforward mechanical calibration. Its rugged compact design and 12°F mechanical differential make it a standard choice for technicians maintaining commercial ovens, fryers, and griddles that require consistent, high-temperature performance.

Common Questions

Is this thermostat compatible with 277V systems?
Yes, the Robertshaw 5300 series is rated for up to 25 Amps at 250V-277V AC, making it suitable for standard commercial electrical configurations.

What does 'Direct Acting' mean for this model?
In direct acting thermostats, the contacts open on a rise in temperature, which is the standard operation for heating applications to prevent overheating.

Can I use this for a 120V application?
While often used in 240V/277V circuits, it is rated for AC voltage and can be used in 120V setups provided the amperage does not exceed the unit’s maximum rating.
