Gas Valve for Natural Gas and LP
The Robertshaw 700-406 is a standing-pilot gas valve that operates on 24 V and regulates pressure to 3.5 in wc. It supports both natural gas and liquid propane with a maximum heating capacity of 300, 000 BtuH. The straight-thru flow direction suits standard furnace and boiler installations. This new component is intended for HVAC professionals and experienced DIYers replacing a worn valve.
Conversion kit and integrated regulator change setup
A factory-supplied conversion kit lets the installer switch between fuel types without sourcing extra parts. The built-in pressure regulator and outlet pressure tap simplify gas-pressure verification during commissioning. An on/pilot/off switch is included for direct pilot control. No pilot generator kit or side taps are provided, so those must be sourced separately if the application requires them.
Straightforward wiring and common pitfalls
Electrical connections use screw and spade terminals rated for 0.2 A, making wiring quick with basic hand tools. The most frequent issue is skipping the fuel-type conversion steps, which leads to incorrect manifold pressure. Forgetting to check the outlet pressure tap after adjustment is the second common error. Ensure the gas supply is clean; debris in the straight-thru path can prevent proper seating.

Questions about this item
Does the 24 V gas valve require a pilot generator kit for routine maintenance?
The pilot generator kit is not included with the valve, so it must be sourced separately if the existing generator needs replacement.
What is the maximum heating capacity before the 3.5 in wc pressure regulator reaches its limit?
The valve is rated for a maximum heating capacity of 300,000 BtuH, which is the upper limit for the integrated pressure regulator.
How much current does the 24 V coil draw during continuous all-day operation?
The valve draws 0.2 A at 24 V, so power consumption and heat from the coil remain constant during sustained use.
