720-402
The Robertshaw 720-402 is a 24V combination gas valve compatible with both natural gas and Liquefied Petroleum (LP) gas. It functions as the central regulator for gas flow in gas-fired furnaces and boilers. Typically measuring 12 inches long with 3/4 inch diameter connections, this valve utilizes a 24-volt electrical signal to control gas flow and features a manual shut-off option for safety. The 40°F to 175°F operating temperature range allows for functionality in most environments. This valve offers the benefit of universal compatibility with 50/60Hz electrical grids and can be converted between natural gas and LP gas use with the included conversion kit, making it a versatile replacement part for various HVAC systems. However, due to the critical nature of gas safety, it should always be installed by a qualified technician.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW:
Managing fuel flow in residential and commercial heating equipment requires dependable valve regulation for safe operation and heat delivery. The OEM Robertshaw 720-402 dual combination gas valve regulates fuel flow in natural gas or propane (LP) systems. Featuring 1/2-inch inlet and 3/4-inch outlet NPT connections with 24V actuation, this versatile component provides reliable fuel control and shutoff capabilities across compatible furnaces, boilers, and heating appliances.

FUEL REGULATION AND VALVE OPERATION:
The internal valve assembly opens and closes gas pathways in response to incoming 24V electrical signals. Internal regulation components manage line pressure to deliver steady gas output, while the convertible valve design supports setup for either natural gas or liquid propane to maintain proper combustion parameters.

REPLACEMENT GUIDELINES:
Select the 720-402 Gas Valve when replacing worn, sticking, or leaking gas control valves on compatible heating units. Before installation, shut off the main gas supply and disconnect electrical power. Verify line sizing and thread types, check that the fuel conversion setting matches your supply type, and perform a thorough leak test on all piping connections prior to firing the appliance.

Common Failure Symptoms:

  • Burner failing to ignite due to valve not opening on call for heat
  • Inability to maintain steady flame or target heating output
  • Gas odor or physical leaks around body connections or seal interfaces
  • Electrical actuation failure preventing valve response to 24V signals
  • Intermittent main burner shutdown during heating cycles

EQUIPMENT COMPATIBILITY:
Compatibility requires matching part number 720-402, 24 VAC electrical input, 1/2-inch by 3/4-inch pipe connection sizes, and natural gas or LP fuel type with original equipment manufacturer requirements. Verify compatibility using equipment model numbers and Robertshaw technical documentation prior to installation.
