Robertshaw Universal Gas Valve 150K BTU 1/2"

The Robertshaw 720-079 is a universal gas valve rated to approximately 150,000 BTU per hour with 1/2 inch connections.

Universal replacement valves are designed to cover a range of original equipment part numbers, which is what makes them valuable as van stock. Rather than carrying a dozen specific valves for the appliances likely to be encountered, a technician carries a smaller universal selection and completes the majority of repairs on the first visit.

The trade-off is that a universal valve requires configuration and verification at installation rather than being a direct drop-in. The points to confirm are the gas type and whether conversion is required, the inlet and outlet connection sizes and orientation, the capacity relative to the appliance input, the control voltage, and whether the appliance requires features the universal valve provides or lacks, such as a stepped opening, a pilot connection, or a particular regulator arrangement.

Physical fit within the appliance cabinet also warrants checking before the old valve is removed, since a valve of different dimensions may not clear the burner assembly or the cabinet.

Manifold pressure must be set to the appliance's specification after installation, and every joint leak tested.

Applications include residential and light commercial gas furnaces, boilers, and heating appliances.
