Raypak recommends that this manual be reviewed thoroughly before installing your Raypak Pool Heater. If there are any questions which this manual does not answer, please contact the factory or your local Raypak representative. Claims for shortages and damages must be filed with carrier by consignee.
CLEARANCES ALL HEATERS For clearances from combustible surfaces, see chart below. We require a minimal vertical clearance of three feet between the upper surface of the flue outlet to a non- combustible material. MINIMUM CLEARANCES FROM COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION INDOOR HEATERS Top - 24"...
VENTING CONNECTIONS DRAFTHOOD (INDOOR) MODELS 962-1826 Locate and assemble as shown below. Secure with screws supplied in envelope in carton. Models 2100-4001 have built-in drafthoods that must be properly vented to the outside. VENT PIPING WARNING: Indoor heater requires a drafthood that must be connected to a vent pipe and properly vented to the outside.
For special venting applications that require reduced vent sizes and through the wall venting, the optional D Series Power Vent can be used. Consult the factory or your local Raypak representative. GAS SUPPLY CONNECTIONS Gas piping must have a sediment trap ahead of the heater gas controls, and a manual shut-off valve located outside the heater jacket.
GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR The gas pressure regulator is preset and sealed at 4 in. WC for natural gas, and 11 in. WC for propane gas. Between the gas valve and the burners is a 1/8" pipe plug. The pressure at this point, taken with a manometer, should be about 3.7 in.
When local codes permit the use of less than four feet high temperature piping or two elbows, provisions should be made to always shut the heater off a minimum of 15 minutes prior to pump shut down in order to carry away residual heat and prevent damage to the low temperature piping.

Raypak recommends the installation of an air bleed vent at a suitable location (usually the highest point) to remove air from the piping system. These units should be available at your local wholesale supplier. Raypak does not provide this item.

MOUNTING WELL INTO SYSTEM RETURN LOOP PIPE - FRONT-MOUNTED LOOP: Note: For more detail on piping configurations for large systems, see figures 9268 and 9269. 1. Locate and mark an area on the main system return loop pipe where the well is always exposed to the water circulating back from the pool.

2. Adjust Bypass Valve "A" 1/2 open and Balancing Valve "B" fully open. (See piping configuration page 11) 3. Fire your Raypak pool heater and adjust Bypass Valve "A" to obtain a heater inlet temperature approximately 100°F-105°F. Turning Valve A in the open direction will raise the heater inlet temperature and closing Valve "A"...

EXTERNAL AUXILIARY BYPASS VALVE (Where Required) 926-1223 Models only An auxiliary bypass valve should be used when flow rates exceed 120 GPM (usually a high performance pump size larger than two HP will exceed this flow rate). This valve is required to complement the function of the automatic bypass valve, particularly when starting the heater in winter or early spring when the spa or pool temperature is below 55°F.

ADJUSTMENT KNOB PRESSURE SWITCH ADJUSTMENT RANGE HEAT EXCHANGER HEIGHT 5' Max NOTE: If heater is installed outside of the limits shown, a flow switch must be used in place of the pressure switch when mounted and wired adjacent to the heater. TWO-SPEED PUMPS In some cases, the flow on the low speed is insuffi- cient to operate the heater.
AFTER START-UP Pilot System Checkout Procedure 1.Turn on power to the ignition systems and turn gas supply off. 2.Check ignition module as follows: a.Set the thermostat above pool water temperature to turn heater on. b.Watch for continuous spark at the pilot burner. c.
Another method is to remove the heat exchanger, ream tubes and immerse heat exchanger in non-inhib- ited de-scale solvent. RAYPAK TUBE CLEANING KIT Auger with Carbide Tip Fig. #6049 Wire Brush...
