Robertshaw 700-204 Valve

The Robertshaw 700-204 is a professional-grade hydraulic snap throttle gas valve engineered for critical performance in Propane (LP) heating systems. Designed as a combination control, this unit integrates a manual gas cock, an automatic pilot safety valve, and a sophisticated hydraulic operator to manage fuel flow with precision. This specific 700 Series model is factory-set to snap on at 50% capacity and modulates to full input based on thermal demand. It features a 1/2" NPT inlet and 1/2" NPT outlet, delivering a high-output capacity of 160,000 BTU. The integrated 36-inch capillary and remote sensing bulb provide a reliable 58°F to 90°F temperature range, making it a standard choice for commercial fryers, ovens, and space heating applications. With a maximum inlet pressure of 14" W.C. and a 1/4" pilot outlet, this LP gas valve offers high-performance reliability for contractors in the field.

• Snap-Action Modulation: Automatically throttles from a 50% start-up rate to full capacity before snapping closed once the set temperature is reached, preventing short-cycling.
• Multi-Position Mounting: The rugged Robertshaw 7000AST-LP-3 design allows for versatile installation in any orientation except upside down.
• Integrated Safety: Features an automatic pilot valve that ensures complete gas shutoff in the event of a pilot outage, maintaining job site safety standards.
• Technical Versatility: Includes two 1/2" x 3/8" reducer bushings to accommodate various gas line configurations and standard NEMA terminals for straightforward wiring.

Is the Robertshaw 700-204 compatible with Natural Gas?
No, this specific model is configured for Propane (LP) usage. For Natural Gas applications, a separate unit like the 700-205 should be sourced.

What is the maximum rated pressure for this valve?
This 1/2 inch gas valve is rated for a maximum inlet pressure of 0.5 PSI (14" W.C.), ensuring it handles typical commercial LP regulator outputs without failure.

Can I use this for a deep fryer repair?
Yes, the snap-throttle hydraulic control is a frequent OEM replacement for commercial cooking equipment requiring precise, modulating temperature control between 58°F and 90°F.
