Robertshaw 5000-844 Thermostat

The Robertshaw 5000-844 is a heavy-duty commercial electric thermostat engineered for high-demand food service applications, including ovens, griddles, and pizza ovens. This DPST (Double Pole Single Throw) control features a 36-inch capillary and a 3/8" x 5-3/4" nickel-plated bulb, providing precise thermal response within a 200°F to 400°F temperature range. Designed for reliability in harsh environments, it utilizes a mechanical snap-action mechanism that ensures instantaneous switching and a tight 8°F differential. The unit is a versatile Uni-Kit replacement for various D1 and D18 series controls and is frequently found in Vulcan Hart and Lang equipment. Rated for up to 30 Amps at 120/277V AC, this thermostat includes a positive "OFF" position, a 4-way dial, bezel, and pilot light. For contractors performing field repairs, its 4-wire hookup and rugged diaphragm assembly offer a durable solution for maintaining consistent temperature regulation in high-volume kitchens.
