Robertshaw 700-452 Gas Valve

The Robertshaw 700-452 Gas Valve is a rugged, 120V line voltage gas valve engineered for demanding commercial heating and food service applications. This standing pilot gas valve features a 1/2" NPT inlet and a 3/4" NPT outlet, with a high-capacity flow rate of up to 240,000 BTU, making it a reliable choice for commercial fryers, ovens, and boilers. As part of the Robertshaw 700 Series, this combination control integrates a manual gas cock, pilot safety magnet, and a built-in pressure regulator factory-set to 3.5" WC for natural gas. Professional technicians value its multi-positional mounting capability, though it must not be installed upside down. For versatile field HVAC gas valve replacement, the unit includes 3/4" x 1/2" reducer bushings and two 1/2" pipe plugs for the straight-through or side outlet configurations. Whether you are performing a Robertshaw gas valve cross reference or a new install, this 7000BER-120 model ensures precise fuel management and safety shut-off in case of pilot outage.

• Universal Compatibility: Replaces equivalent line voltage models from Honeywell, White-Rodgers, and OEM parts for Vulcan, Frymaster, and Southbend.
• Flexible Installation: Features three-position outlets (straight-thru and side) and can be mounted in any orientation except upside down.
• Enhanced Safety: Built-in slotted safety magnet allows for easy connection of an ECO (Energy Cut-Off) switch where required.
• High Capacity: Rated for equipment up to 240,000 BTU, covering most standard commercial kitchen and space heating requirements.
• Reliable Regulation: Maintains consistent 3.5" WC pressure for optimal burner performance and combustion efficiency.

Can the Robertshaw 700-452 be converted for Liquid Propane (LP)?

Yes, while factory-set for natural gas at 3.5" WC, this 700 Series gas valve can be converted to LP. You must use the appropriate regulator cover plate (typically Robertshaw 1751-013) and change the main burner and pilot orifices to match LP specifications.

What is the purpose of the slotted magnet on this valve?

The slotted safety magnet is specifically designed for applications that require an Energy Cut-Off (ECO) switch. It allows the technician to wire a high-limit security circuit directly into the pilot safety loop, ensuring the valve closes if temperature limits are exceeded.

Can I use this 120V valve to replace a 24V gas valve?

No. You must always match the control voltage of the system. Replacing a 24V valve with a 120V Robertshaw 700-452 will cause electrical failure and potential damage to the transformer or thermostat circuit. Always verify the voltage on the existing valve's identification plate.
