Robertshaw 710-508 Gas Valve
The Robertshaw 710-508 is a high-performance Millivolt gas valve designed for versatility in heating applications, featuring a 3/8" inlet and outlet with a 3.5" W.C. natural gas setting. This low-profile gas valve is engineered for spaces with limited clearance, utilizing a 100,000 BTU capacity to handle standard residential and light commercial equipment. The 710 series is known for its multi-position mounting capabilities, allowing for installation in any orientation except upside down. As a 7000 series replacement, it incorporates a manual valve, pilot safety filter, and a gas cock for comprehensive manifold control. The thermopile-actuated diaphragm ensures reliable operation without external power, making it a staple for HVAC gas valve replacement in hearth products and wall heaters. Contractors rely on the Robertshaw 710-508 specs for drop-in compatibility and consistent pressure regulation in demanding field conditions.
