Raypak Digital 406K BTU Propane Pool Heater - ASME Bronze Headers - B-R406A-EP-C | 017414

The Raypak B-R406A-EP-C is a heavy-duty, high-capacity heater engineered to meet the rigorous American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) safety and construction standards. Featuring rugged bronze headers, this massive 406,000 BTU liquid propane unit is specifically designed for large commercial applications, public pools, and luxury residential estates where natural gas is unavailable, and local building codes require ASME-certified equipment.

The 017414 model delivers reliable, rapid heating power with the added durability of non-corrosive bronze internals, ensuring it can handle the high flow rates, extreme water pressure, and continuous operation common in commercial pool environments.

Features

ASME Certified Construction: This heater is built and pressure-tested to meet strict ASME safety codes. It features a thicker heat exchanger wall and a pressure relief valve, making it legal for use in commercial and public pool installations.

Corrosion-Resistant Bronze Headers: Unlike standard polymer headers, these heavy-duty bronze headers provide superior structural strength and are naturally resistant to the corrosive effects of pool chemicals and high-velocity water, significantly extending the unit's lifespan.

Massive 406,000 BTU Power: Providing maximum thermal lift, this commercial liquid propane model delivers rapid heat-up times for the largest oversized residential pools or high-volume commercial spas, ensuring your water reaches the perfect temperature quickly.

Microprocessor-Controlled Thermostat: The intuitive digital display allows for precise temperature management to within one degree. It features built-in self-diagnostics to monitor the system and ensure the heater is operating at peak 82% efficiency.

Reliable Electronic Ignition: Features a robust spark-to-pilot ignition system that only lights when there is a call for heat. For propane users, this eliminates the fuel waste of a standing pilot light and ensures the heater remains functional even in high-wind conditions.

PolyFlo Integrated Bypass: Raypak’s patented bypass design balances water flow through the heat exchanger automatically. This prevents condensation and scale buildup, protecting the heater's internal components from premature wear.

ProTek Shield Technology: Includes a specialized, replaceable module designed to protect the heat exchanger from the damaging effects of galvanic corrosion (electrolysis), providing an essential defense in modern pool environments.

Notes

Professional Setup Required: This high-capacity ASME model is typically mandated for public and commercial pool installations. Due to its massive propane demand, it must be installed by a licensed contractor to ensure proper gas line sizing, correct regulator pressure, and adequate venting for safety and warranty compliance.
