Robertshaw 5300-114 Thermostat
The Robertshaw 5300-114 Thermostat is a heavy-duty, snap-acting electric control engineered for high-temperature commercial cooking and industrial heating applications. This SPST (Single Pole Single Throw) thermostat operates on a direct-acting mechanism that breaks the circuit on temperature rise, making it an essential component for fryers, ovens, and steam tables. With a precise 200°F to 450°F temperature range, it provides the thermal stability required for consistent equipment performance in demanding environments. The unit features a 36-inch capillary and a 3/16" x 10" copper sensing bulb, allowing for flexible mounting and accurate heat detection across the medium.
Designed as a versatile commercial oven thermostat, the 5300-114 is a drop-in replacement for numerous OEM parts from brands like Hobart, Vulcan, and General Electric. The rugged steel housing and silver contacts ensure long-term electrical integrity under 120V AC or 277V AC loads. Contractors utilize this Robertshaw 5300 series thermostat for its reliable snap-action switching, which prevents arcing and maintains tight temperature differentials. Whether you are performing a field repair or a full system overhaul, this high-temperature capillary thermostat delivers the industrial-grade durability necessary to minimize equipment downtime.

Is the 5300-114 compatible with millivolt systems?
No, this model is designed for 120V/277V AC electrical circuits. For millivolt applications, the RX series from Robertshaw should be specified.
What is the orientation of the stem flat?
The stem flat on this unit is in the "Up" position, which is critical for proper dial alignment during installation.
Can this thermostat be used in liquid heating applications?
Yes, the copper sensing bulb is suitable for air or liquid immersion, provided the temperature remains within the 200°F to 450°F operating window.
