Frequently Asked Questions
What does ASME certification mean and do I need it?
ASME is a pressure vessel standard. Most commercial, municipal, hotel, and HOA pools are required by code or by their inspector to use an ASME certified heater. A private residential pool usually is not.
Why bronze headers?
Bronze holds up better than standard header materials under continuous commercial duty and aggressive water chemistry, which is why commercial specs call for it.
Is the 017384 propane or natural gas?
Liquid propane. Fuel is set by model.
Can I use this on a residential pool?
Yes, it will work, but you are paying for certification you likely do not need. A residential 266K propane model is the better value unless your local code says otherwise.
What does B-R266A-EP-C mean?
Raypak's model code. B is the Professional ASME series, R266A is the 266,000 BTU chassis, E is electronic ignition, P is propane, and C is the copper heat exchanger.
Does it need professional installation?
Yes, and commercial installations typically require permitting and inspection in addition to a licensed installer.
