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.

Can I use this on a residential pool?

Yes, it will work, but you are paying for certification you do not need. A residential 406K model is the better value unless your local code says otherwise.

What size body of water does 406,000 BTU suit?

Large pools and commercial installations. Commercial sizing depends on bather load, surface area, and whether the pool is covered overnight, so have it engineered rather than estimated.

What does B-R408-EN-X mean?

It is Raypak's model code. B is the Professional series, R408 is the chassis size, E is electronic ignition, N is natural gas, and X denotes the ASME configuration.

Is it natural gas or propane?

Natural gas. Fuel is set by model.

Does it need professional installation?

Yes, and commercial installations typically require permitting and inspection in addition to a licensed installer.
