Robertshaw 700-513 Gas Valve

The Robertshaw 700-513 is a high-capacity millivolt gas valve designed for standing pilot applications in commercial cooking equipment, fryers, and space heating systems. This 700 series gas valve features a 1/2" NPT inlet and outlet with a straight-through configuration, delivering up to 100,000 BTU capacity. Engineered for precision, this model is a non-regulated gas valve (manual-only stroke), making it essential for bypass or external regulation setups. It functions using a 250mV to 750mV power pile, ensuring operation independent of line voltage. The unit incorporates a high-flow magnet head and a three-position gas cock (Off-Pilot-On) for standard safety sequencing. Technicians should note the Robertshaw 700-513 1/2" MV gas valve is built for durability in high-ambient environments and utilizes a common 1/4" tubing connection for the pilot. When replacing a Robertshaw 710-511 or similar millivolt controls, verify the gas valve manifold pressure requirements as this unit lacks an internal regulator.

• Universal Millivolt Compatibility: Operates on standard 250mV - 750mV thermopiling, ideal for remote locations or power-outage-prone areas.
• High-Flow Capacity: Rated at 100,000 BTU, providing sufficient fuel delivery for professional-grade fryers and ovens.
• Multi-Position Mounting: Can be installed in any position except upside down, allowing for flexible retrofitting in tight equipment cabinets.
• Integrated Safety Pilot: Features a robust magnet assembly for reliable flame-safety shutoff if the pilot is extinguished.
• Standardized Threading: Uses 1/2" NPT piping to match most existing commercial gas lines without requiring excessive adapters.

Can I use the Robertshaw 700-513 with LP gas?
Yes, but since this is a non-regulated bypass valve, you must ensure the upstream regulator is set correctly for Liquid Propane pressures. Always check orifice sizing when converting fuel types.

What is the difference between this and a regulated model?
The 700-513 does not have a built-in pressure regulator. This allows for manual control or use in systems where pressure is managed elsewhere in the manifold.

Is this valve compatible with a 24V transformer?
No, this is a dedicated millivolt valve. Applying 24V AC will damage the internal operator and the magnet head.
