Robertshaw 720-007 Gas Valve

The Robertshaw 720-007 Gas Valve is a rugged, 24V six-function control engineered for reliability in high-demand residential and mobile home heating systems. As a veteran in the field, you know the importance of a compact 3-9/16" swing radius; this standing pilot gas valve fits into tight cabinets where bulkier controls fail, making it a primary choice for HVAC gas valve replacement projects. Featuring a 1/2" NPT inlet and a 90-degree 1/2" FPT side outlet, this dual valve gas control handles capacities up to 150,000 BTU, providing the thermal throughput required for central furnaces and boilers.

This Robertshaw 7200ERC series technician-grade component is a convertible gas valve, factory-set at 3.5" W.C. for natural gas but easily Field-converted for 11.0" W.C. LP applications with the included kit. The top-mounted manual selector—with Off, On, Pilot, and "Set" positions—simplifies the bleeding and lighting process, while the standard NEMA terminals and combination screw/spade connectors ensure a clean 24VAC electrical interface. Built with an internal inlet filter screen and multi-position mounting capabilities, the 720-007 is designed to withstand ambient temperatures from -40°F to 175°F without performance drift.

• Universal Compatibility: Directly replaces various OEM models, including Nordyne 624491 and Robertshaw 7200DERC, reducing truck stock requirements.
• Multi-Position Mounting: Flexible installation geometry allows for mounting in any direction except upside down, adapting to diverse equipment configurations.
• Field Convertible: Includes the necessary regulator conversion kit to switch between Natural Gas and Liquid Propane in minutes.
• Optimized Flow Path: The 90-degree pattern and additional 1/2" FPT side outlets (with plugs) offer versatile piping options for custom manifold setups.

Can I use this valve on an intermittent pilot (IPI) system?
No, the 720-007 is specifically designed for standing pilot systems requiring a thermocouple to hold the safety magnet. For electronic ignition, sourcing a 720 series IPER-designated model is necessary.

What is the "Set" position on the manual selector used for?
The "Set" position allows gas flow only to the pilot during the lighting sequence, preventing the main burners from firing while you are energizing the safety magnet.

Does this valve require a specific orientation?
While it is multi-positional, the regulator must not be mounted upside down to ensure proper pressure diaphragm operation and safety compliance.
