Robertshaw 1720-007 Valve Assembly

The Robertshaw 1720-007 Valve Assembly is a specialized 1/2" NPT manual gas control valve engineered for consistent performance in commercial cooking applications. This unit features an integrated magnet head assembly designed to work in tandem with a thermocouple to provide reliable pilot safety shut-off. As a critical component for gas flow regulation, the 1720-007 offers a high-capacity flow rate suitable for large-scale fryers and ovens requiring precision thermal management. The 1/2" NPT inlet and outlet ports ensure standard HVACR piping compatibility, facilitating straightforward field replacement. This valve is built with a rugged die-cast body to withstand the high ambient temperatures common in professional kitchens. Professionals prioritize this Robertshaw gas valve for its proven millivolt system reliability and its ability to maintain stable manifold pressure under heavy demand. Proper installation ensures optimized BTU output and eliminates common gas pressure drop issues associated with aging safety valves.

• Precision Gas Flow: Engineered for 1/2" NPT connections to maintain high-volume flow for commercial burners.
• Integrated Magnet Assembly: High-sensitivity magnetic head ensures rapid pilot dropout in the event of flame failure.
• Durable Construction: Heavy-duty housing designed to resist thermal stress and chemical exposure in commercial environments.
• Millivolt Compatibility: Seamlessly integrates with standard thermocouples for non-electric safety circuits.
• Direct Fit: Standardized mounting footprint simplifies the swap-out process for existing Robertshaw control systems.

What causes this valve to fail to stay open?
If the magnet does not hold, first verify the millivolt output of your thermocouple under load. Ensure the thermocouple is properly seated in the magnet head and clear of carbon buildup.

Is the 1720-007 compatible with both Natural Gas and Liquid Propane?
This valve is designed for manual gas control and safety shut-off; however, ensure your orifice sizes and regulator settings match the specific gas type of the appliance.

Can I replace just the magnet assembly instead of the whole valve?
While internal components are sometimes available, replacing the entire 1720-007 assembly is the best practice to ensure total system integrity and pressure-tight operation.
