Robertshaw 700-201 Gas Valve

The Robertshaw 700-201 Gas Valve is a heavy-duty combination gas control designed for precise temperature regulation in commercial cooking equipment and space heating applications. This snap-action hydraulic valve features a 1/2" NPT inlet and a 36" capillary tube, providing a dependable 58°F to 90°F temperature range for systems requiring high-capacity flow up to 100,000 BTU. Optimized for versatility, the 700-201 is multi-positional, allowing for installation in any orientation except upside down, which is critical for tight commercial kitchen cabinet footprints.

Engineered with a standing pilot safety system, this non-regulated gas valve utilizes a remote sensing bulb to trigger immediate "on/off" gas flow, ensuring consistent thermal cycling without the modulation lag found in standard throttling valves. The Robertshaw 700 series architecture includes a manual gas cock (Off-Pilot-On dial), a pilot adjustment key, and a pilot gas filter to prevent orifice clogging in high-demand environments. Contractors can rely on the standard NEMA terminals and the included 1/2" x 3/8" reducer bushings for seamless field replacement across various natural gas and LP gas configurations.

• Snap-Action Operation: Provides rapid, full-capacity gas flow to the burner for precise thermostatic control.
• High Capacity Output: Rated for 100,000 BTU, making it suitable for larger fryers, griddles, and wall heaters.
• Flexible Installation: Multi-position mounting capability simplifies retrofitting in restricted equipment spaces.
• Integrated Safety: Features an automatic pilot safety valve that provides 100% gas shut-off in the event of pilot outage.
• Extended Reach: The 36-inch capillary allows for flexible placement of the sensing bulb relative to the control body.

• Can this valve be field-converted for pressure regulation? No, the 700-201 is a non-regulated gas valve. For applications requiring a built-in regulator, the operator assembly must be matched to the specific gas type.
• What happens if the capillary tube is kinked? A kinked or broken capillary will vent the hydraulic fluid, rendering the thermostatic operator inoperative and preventing the valve from opening.
• Is this compatible with Millivolt systems? No, this is a hydraulic snap-action valve. For 750mV thermopile systems, you should specify a 700-500 series Millivolt control.
