"RE-BUILT" When we use this term, this means we at GrapeVineSally have had the part/s newly RE-BUILT by factory professionals with over 50 years of experience working with vintage thermostats, safety valves and related gas products. It also means that the thermostat or safety valve HAS NOT BEEN USED post re-build and will perform as new. All re-built thermostats and safety valves are original vintage parts.
We have most styles of Robertshaw Model BJ Thermostats and Safety Valves that are used with the vintage OK&M and Wedgewood stoves IN STOCK NOW and ready to install.
Robertshaw Controls Company has been manufacturing gas controls for more than a hundred years. Their TS-11 Thermomagnetic Safety Valve is found on many boats equipped with galleys and gas stoves or ovens.
An Operating Instructions tag was supposed to be left hanging from the safety valve by the installer. Our tag was still onboard our Luger Voyager 30 built in 1985. If you have lost the operating instructions for your TS-11, you will find a reproduction of our Robertshaw May 1982 Form 43295H below.
The first was in 2002 for TS11 valves manufactured between June 2001 and August 2001 with production dates beginning with codes 0124 through and including 0131. The date codes are marked on the backside of the upper housing, below the red button. The lower body may have a thin wall on the bottom of the casting that may break through if rapped causing an external leak and a fire. Fortunately, no injuries have been reported for this recall. http://www.robertshaw.com/recall.html
The 2004 recall has proved to be more serious and involves TS-11 thermal safety control valves produced between February 2003 and August 2004, identified by date codes 0306 through and including 0432. If the pilot light goes out, the gas valve could stick in an open position permitting gas to continue to flow resulting in a gas explosion and fire. There have been 12 reports of flash fires including 9 reports of injuries. http://www.robertshaw.com/2004recall.html
The primary purpose of a safety valve is to protect life, property and the environment. Safety valves are designed to open and release excess pressure from vessels or equipment and then close again.
The function of safety valves differs depending on the load or main type of the valve. The main types of safety valves are spring-loaded, weight-loaded and controlled safety valves.
Regardless of the type or load, safety valves are set to a specific set pressure at which the medium is discharged in a controlled manner, thus preventing overpressure of the equipment. In dependence of several parameters such as the contained medium, the set pressure is individual for each safety application.
When you’re working with gas, safety should be the name of the game. It’s extremely easy to cause a lot of damage, both to yourself and your establishment, when you’re not showing that invisible little devil the respect it deserves. Fortunately, modern-day gas safety valves have been tested and outfitted around the world, and these bad boys are essential pieces to any efficiently-working system. That said, when your gas safety valves are a little worse for wear, making a repair or finding a replacement is a no-brainer. That’s why keeping an extra in your repair kit or tool closet is a smart move, and we’ve got the gas safety valves you need!
