Product Summary
The Robertshaw 700-506 is a gas valve from Robertshaw, described by the manufacturer as: millivolt 3/4" X 3/4" natural gas valve 300000 BTU includes bushings 7000BMVR 343-701-400 343-701-4B0 342701400. It is rated for Millivolt, set up for natural gas, used with standing pilot ignition systems and sized for 3/4" connections.
A gas valve controls the flow of gas to the burner and, on pilot models, to the pilot. It opens only when the ignition system or thermocouple tells it the appliance is ready, regulates the outlet pressure to the burner and closes the moment the call for heat ends or a safety fails. Common signs of a failed gas valve are an igniter or spark that never lights the burner even though the valve receives voltage, a pilot that will not stay lit, manifold pressure that cannot be set, or a burner that keeps firing after the thermostat is satisfied.
