Robertshaw 700-470 Gas Valve

The Robertshaw 700-470 Gas Valve is a rugged, 120V line voltage control engineered for high-capacity commercial and industrial heating applications. This 3/4" NPT gas valve features a thermopile magnet and a slotted safety magnet, making it compatible with systems requiring an Energy Cut-Off (ECO) switch. Rated for up to 300,000 BTU, it serves as a reliable replacement for standard solenoid gas valves in commercial cooking equipment, fryers, and boilers. The Robertshaw 700 series design includes a manual gas cock, pilot adjustment key, and inlet filtered screens to prevent debris from compromising the internal diaphragm. With a maximum inlet pressure of 14" W.C. and factory-set regulation at 3.5" W.C. for natural gas, this replacement gas valve delivers precise fuel flow management and multi-positional mounting flexibility (except upside down) for tight mechanical rooms. Contractors prioritize this model for its 120VAC electrical rating and consistent performance in high-demand environments.

• High-Capacity Throughput: Rated for 300,000 BTU to meet the demands of commercial-grade appliances.
• Advanced Safety Logic: Features a separate automatic pilot safety valve and a slotted magnet for ECO switch integration.
• Field Versatility: Multi-positional mounting capability allows for installation in varied configurations to fit existing piping.
• Debris Protection: Integrated inlet screens and pilot gas filters protect internal components from scale and contaminants.
• Standardized Connections: Standard NEMA terminals ensure straightforward wiring for veteran service technicians.

Can this valve be field-converted for LP gas?
Yes, while factory-set for natural gas at 3.5" W.C., it can be converted using a compatible regulator cover plate or conversion kit suited for 10" W.C. Propane applications.

What is the purpose of the thermopile magnet on a 120V valve?
The thermopile magnet acts as the safety interface, requiring a millivolt signal from the pilot flame to keep the internal safety valve open, preventing gas flow if the pilot is extinguished.

Will this replace a 24V gas valve?
No. This is a line voltage 120VAC control. Always verify the operating voltage of the existing transformer and burner controller before installation to prevent equipment damage.
