Robertshaw 1720-005 Gas Safety Valve

Robertshaw 1720-005 Gas Safety Valve

The Robertshaw 1720-005 is a gas safety valve designed for use with liquid propane and natural gas. It serves as a replacement component for ovens and similar heating appliances. The valve operates within a temperature range of 32 to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. It is intended for technicians and facility managers maintaining gas-fired cooking equipment.

Capacity and headroom: 1/4 inch port

The valve features a 1/4 inch port connection and a 3/16 inch pilot port connection. These dimensions suit standard oven burner assemblies requiring this specific sizing. The 1720 series handles typical residential and light commercial cooking loads within the rated temperature limits. It is not suited for higher-pressure industrial systems or applications exceeding the 300 degree Fahrenheit maximum operating temperature.

Replaces worn 1720 series valves

This valve directly replaces failed or leaking Robertshaw 1720 series safety valves in compatible ovens. The upgrade is worth it when the existing valve shows signs of wear, inconsistent pilot operation, or gas leakage. It restores reliable fuel control without modifying the existing piping layout. Installers should verify the port sizes match the original equipment before fitting.
