The Robertshaw 705-461 is a high-performance 240V non-regulating operator designed for seamless integration with the Robertshaw 700 and 710 Series manual gas valves. Engineered for heavy-duty commercial and industrial heating applications, this line voltage operator kit facilitates the field conversion of manual units to precise wall thermostat control. When working with 700-450 or 700-460 series valves, the 705-461 operator serves as a reliable replacement component to restore automated valve cycling without the need for an internal regulator. The unit utilizes a 240VAC solenoid with a typical electrical rating of 0.017 Amps, ensuring efficient power consumption during sustained operations. For field technicians, this kit includes the necessary gasket and mounting hardware to prevent leaks and ensure a secure mechanical connection. Note that this non-regulated high-voltage actuator is compatible with both natural gas and LP configurations provided an external pressure regulator is utilized elsewhere in the train.

Key Benefits for Technicians:
  • Direct Field Conversion: Easily upgrades 700 and 710 Series manual valves to automated thermostat-controlled systems.
  • Optimized Compatibility: Designed specifically as an HVAC replacement part for 700-450 and 700-460 series valves.
  • Industrial-Grade Construction: Built to endure high-demand environments with a 240VAC rating for commercial line voltage circuits.
  • Gas Flexibility: Multi-positional mounting capability (excluding upside down) allows for versatile plumbing in tight mechanical rooms.
  • Complete Installation Hardware: Comes with a new gasket and screws to maintain seal integrity during the swap.
Common Questions:

Can I use the Robertshaw 705-461 on a 700-800 Series Bleed Gas Controller?
No. You must never use this operator on 700-800 Series Bleed Gas Controllers (7000GO), as it will cause improper valve function and create a hazardous operating condition.

Does the 705-461 include an internal pressure regulator?
This is a non-regulating operator. If your system requires pressure regulation at the valve, you must use a separate regulator kit or an operator with a built-in regulator.

What are the wiring requirements for this operator?
The Robertshaw 705-461 requires a 240VAC power supply. Ensure all electrical connections meet local codes and the amperage draw is compatible with your controller.
