This week we're taking a look inside a RobertShaw Combination valve. These valves are very common in commercial kitchen equipment but surprisingly complex and use a very interesting system of springs and diaphragms to balance pressure.

This video is part of a larger series of technical training videos we make available to our technicians at SmartCare. If you found this interesting and would like to see more, please subscribe. New component teardown videos will be released every Tuesday in 2022.

If you’re a Smartcare technician who has a part you’d like to see me tear down, please reach out to me internally for further instructions.

If you’re not a smartcare technician but you or someone you know would like to learn more about a career as a service technician specializing in commercial restaurant equipment, please check out our open positions at www.SmartCareSolutions.com/careers.
