Robertshaw 5300-732 Thermostat

The Robertshaw 5300-732 Thermostat is a high-performance KX Series Pilot Duty control engineered for demanding commercial cooking and industrial heating applications. Featuring a 200°F to 400°F temperature range, this snap-acting SPST thermostat provides precise thermal regulation by breaking the circuit on temperature rise. The 36-inch capillary and 3/8" x 5-5/8" nickel-plated bulb ensure accurate sensing and durability in high-heat environments. Designed as a Uni-Kit replacement, it integrates a 4-way dial type and a rugged 2-inch stem for versatile mounting. With an electrical rating of 120/277V AC at 50VA pilot duty, it is built to handle low-voltage control circuits effectively. This commercial cooking thermostat utilizes silver contacts and heavy-duty terminals to maintain signal integrity and long-term reliability. Technicians often select this model for its mechanical differential of 8°F, which prevents rapid cycling and ensures a stable heat curve for sensitive equipment.

• Precision Control: Features a 8°F mechanical differential for consistent temperature stability between 200°F and 400°F.
• Rugged Construction: Equipped with silver contacts and a nickel-plated bulb to resist corrosion and wear.
• Flexible Installation: The 36" capillary length and Uni-Kit design allow for specialized routing and mounting in tight appliance cabinets.
• Reliable Switching: The snap-action mechanism provides a clean break, reducing arcing and extending the life of the control.
• Broad Compatibility: Serves as a direct functional replacement for various commercial oven thermostats and fryer controls using pilot duty logic.

Is the bulb and capillary material suitable for corrosive kitchen environments?
Yes, the Robertshaw 5300-732 features a nickel-plated copper bulb designed to withstand the humidity and grease common in commercial kitchen applications.

Does this unit support millivolt systems?
No, this is a pilot duty AC thermostat rated for 120/277V AC. For millivolt DC applications, a 5300 series RX model with hermetically sealed reed switches should be used.

Can I use this thermostat to replace a standard 30A resistive load model?
This specific model is rated for pilot duty (50VA). It must be used to switch a relay or contactor coil rather than the primary heating element load directly. Always verify the electrical rating of the original part before installation.
