Robertshaw 5300-200 Thermostat

The Robertshaw 5300-200 is a rugged, snap-acting electric thermostat designed for high-precision thermal regulation in demanding commercial and industrial environments. This single pole single throw (SPST) control operates with a 100°F to 200°F temperature range, making it a critical component for specialized heating systems and commercial laundry applications. It features an 8-foot (96-inch) capillary and a specialized open-high configuration, ensuring the circuit opens when the temperature rise reaches the set point. Engineered for sustained accuracy, the 5300 series electric thermostat utilizes silver contacts and heavy-duty terminals to minimize electrical resistance and prevent contact fatigue under heavy loads. As a direct acting series control, it is frequently utilized as a replacement for high-limit or control cycles in Huebsch, Franklin Mfg, and Patterson equipment. With its UL, CSA, and AGA listings, this thermostat provides a reliable, code-compliant solution for technicians maintaining commercial dryers and heat-sensitive industrial processes.

• Precise Thermal Control: The snap-action mechanism provides immediate, reliable switching with a 6°F mechanical differential for tight temperature management.
• Extended Reach: The 8-foot capillary allows for versatile bulb placement in deep wells or remote monitoring locations.
• Heavy-Duty Construction: Built with silver contacts and durable terminals for compatibility with high-amperage commercial circuits.
• Broad Compatibility: Serves as a direct replacement (Factory Part K-413) for numerous OEM models including Franklin and Huebsch commercial dryers.

• What is the maximum electrical rating for the 5300-200? These controls are typically rated for 120V to 277V AC at 25A, though always check the specific equipment load before installation.
• Can this be used for commercial cooking equipment? While the 5300 series is suitable for cooking, the 100°F to 200°F range is specifically tuned for lower-temp applications like commercial dryers or warming cabinets.
• Is the capillary flexible? Yes, the 96-inch capillary is designed for routing through conduit, but care must be taken to avoid sharp kinks that could restrict the fluid movement.
