Robertshaw 5000-814 Thermostat

For heavy-duty commercial applications requiring ultra-precise temperature regulation, the Robertshaw 5000-814 Capillary Electric Thermostat is the industry standard for reliability. This D1 series mechanical thermostat features a Double Pole Single Throw (DPST) snap-action switch, designed to handle high-amperage loads up to 30A at 277V AC. With a temperature control range of 60°F to 250°F and a tight 6°F mechanical differential, it ensures consistent thermal cycling in harsh environments like commercial ovens, steam tables, and industrial heating units. The 60-inch copper capillary and 1/4" x 9-1/2" bulb provide versatile mounting options, while the positive OFF mechanical switch offers a definitive break for system safety during maintenance. This commercial cooking control is engineered with a dual stainless steel diaphragm assembly, providing maximum sensitivity and instantaneous switching without over-stressing the internal components.

• High Electrical Rating: Capable of managing 30 Amps at 120/277V AC, making it ideal for high-demand industrial circuits.
• Precision Sensing: The copper bulb and capillary assembly reacts to minute diaphragm movements for ultra-close temperature accuracy.
• Rugged Construction: Features a non-fatiguing snap-action mechanism and welded stainless steel diaphragms for extended service life in high-heat applications.
• Universal Compatibility: Serves as a direct replacement for Consolidated E-239, Johnstone F16-176, and various Robertshaw D1 series models.

What is the difference between a DPST and SPST thermostat?
A DPST thermostat like the 5000-814 breaks both sides of the power line simultaneously, which is often required for 208V-240V equipment to ensure the circuit is completely de-energized in the OFF position.

Can the 60-inch capillary be shortened?
No, never cut or kink the capillary. Any breach in the thermal element pressure will cause the switch to fail or open the circuit permanently.

Is this thermostat suitable for deep fryers?
With a maximum operating limit of 250°F, this unit is designed for warmers and steam tables. For deep fryers, you will typically need a high-temperature control reaching 400°F or higher.
