Robertshaw 720-070 Gas Valve

The Robertshaw 720-070 is a high-capacity gas heating valve designed for Intermittent Pilot Ignition (IPI) systems, specifically the 7200IPER-S7C series. This dual-stage combination gas valve features a 1/2" NPT inlet and a 3/4" NPT outlet, making it compatible with a wide range of commercial and high-output residential furnaces. Built with a low-profile design for tight cabinet installs, it includes a manual valve, pilot adjustment, and a high-flow capacity suited for units requiring up to 150,000 BTU. Technicians should note that this unit is configured for Natural Gas (NG) but can be field-converted for Liquid Propane (LP) with the appropriate 110-007 kit. The main gas control utilizes a standard 24V AC solenoid, optimized for seamless integration with electronic ignition modules. Its multi-poise mounting capability allows for flexible installation in vertical, horizontal, or 90-degree orientations, ensuring reliable fuel regulation and safety shut-off performance in demanding HVAC environments.

• Universal Compatibility: Engineered as a direct replacement for many OEM furnace gas valves and previous 7200 series iterations.
• Flexible Porting: The 1/2" x 3/4" NPT configuration provides versatility for various manifold setups without excessive adapters.
• Streamlined Installation: Designed with a compact footprint to fit into modern, high-efficiency equipment with limited internal clearance.
• Field Adjustability: Features an accessible pressure regulator and pilot flow adjustment to fine-tune combustion efficiency.
• Durable Construction: Built with rugged die-cast aluminum to withstand high-cycle operations in commercial heating applications.

Can the Robertshaw 720-070 be used on standing pilot systems?
No, this model is specifically designed for intermittent pilot ignition or direct spark ignition sequences and does not support a constant standing pilot.

What is the maximum BTU rating for this valve?
The 720-070 is rated for high-capacity loads, typically supporting equipment up to approximately 150,000 BTU depending on the manifold pressure settings.

Is this valve compatible with LP Gas?
This unit is shipped for use with Natural Gas. A conversion kit is required to ensure the correct spring pressure for Propane applications.
