Description
Robertshaw 700-516 Millivolt Gas Valve Overview
The Robertshaw 700-516 is a 1/2″ millivolt (MV) gas valve from the trusted 7000BMVR series, engineered for dependable fuel control in standing pilot heating appliances. Millivolt gas valves require no external electrical power source — they operate entirely on the low-voltage signal generated by the thermocouple or thermopile, making them ideal for systems such as wall heaters, floor furnaces, gravity furnaces, and decorative gas appliances where line voltage is unavailable or undesirable.
