The Raypak 009227 P-R406A-EP-C #57 Digital Propane Gas Pool and Spa Heater is a 406A-series residential heater designed for propane gas applications at 0 to 2,000 ft elevation where specified. This model features digital electronic ignition, polymer headers, and a copper heat exchanger for dependable pool and spa heating when installed, sized, and maintained correctly.

This heater is commonly used on residential in-ground pools and spas where a 406A propane heater with digital controls, standard copper tubing, and standard-elevation #57 configuration is required. Always confirm gas type, altitude, local code requirements, pool size, plumbing, venting, and heater sizing before ordering.
