Robertshaw 4500-001 Thermostat Kit

The Robertshaw 4500-001 Thermostat Kit is a professional-grade, universal solution designed for a "one call" field replacement of most BJ and BJWA series mechanical gas thermostats. Engineered for reliability in domestic range and oven applications, this 250/550F Robertshaw thermostat provides high-accuracy thermal regulation across a wide temperature spectrum. The kit features a 48-inch capillary and a 3/16-inch x 3-7/8-inch copper bulb, ensuring optimal heat sensing within the oven cavity. For maximum installation versatility, the 7/16-inch tubing outlet is factory-set at the 6 o’clock position but is field-rotatable to 3, 9, or 12 o’clock. The included 4-position dial and orange color-coded dial guide ensure precise "off" indexing and streamlined oven control thermostat 4500-001 calibration. This gas oven control kit is built to withstand the rigorous demands of contractor-level installations, offering a durable replacement for outdated or failing thermal controls in various OEM cooking equipment.

• Precise Thermal Sensing: Includes a 48-inch capillary and copper bulb for accurate temperature monitoring from 250°F to 550°F.
• Simplified Service: The orange color-coded dial guide and 4-position mounting dial permit rapid setup and ensure correct indexing every time.

Is the Robertshaw 4500-001 suitable for commercial convection ovens?
This specific kit is optimized for domestic oven and range applications. Always verify the temperature range and mounting dimensions against the existing OEM control before installation.

Can I rotate the outlet position after the thermostat is mounted?
It is recommended to set the outlet position (at 3, 6, 9, or 12 o'clock) prior to final mounting and tubing connection to ensure a liquid-tight seal and proper alignment.

How do I handle the capillary during installation?
The 48-inch capillary should be routed carefully to avoid kinks or sharp bends, which can impede the expansion of the internal fluid and cause calibration errors.
