Raypak 014875F Copper Tube Bundle for 156A Pool & Spa Heaters
Raypak's listed tube bundle for the 156A.
The Raypak 014875F tube bundle (SKU PST-_014875F) is the copper tube bundle Raypak lists in the heat exchanger section of its parts list for the 156A above-ground pool and spa heater. It is the tube section of the heat exchanger, not the complete assembly, and Raypak lists one number for the 156A rather than separate natural gas and propane versions. Raypak recommends inspecting the bypass assembly whenever a tube bundle is replaced, since whatever failed the old bundle has very likely damaged the bypass valve too.
Why PST Customers Pick This
Raypak Parts List Match
Raypak's 156A parts list shows 014875F as callout 4-H, Tube Bundle Copper, in the heat exchanger section.
Copper Heat Exchanger
The 156A uses a copper heat exchanger. In Raypak's model code for this heater, the final C stands for copper and the leading P for its plastic header.
Check the Bypass Too
Raypak warns that the hydraulic conditions or water chemistry that failed the old bundle have very likely damaged the bypass valve. Inspect the bypass assembly (156A bypass kit 015548F) or the new bundle can fail early.
Balanced Water Protects It
Raypak warns that pH below 7.2 corrodes the heat exchanger, that high mineral content builds scale inside the tubes, and that free chlorine must never exceed 5 ppm.
Keep Flow in Range
The 156A runs on 20 to 70 GPM. Raypak requires an external auxiliary bypass valve when your system flow exceeds 70 GPM.
Keep the Tubes Clean
Raypak's maintenance section calls for clearing tube deposits over 1/16 inch thick with tube cleaning kit 052871F, with the heat exchanger removed from the heater.
Service Notice
Raypak states that installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier, and that not following its instructions exactly can cause a fire or explosion. Raypak also notes that heat exchanger damage caused by chemical imbalance is not covered by its warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the whole heat exchanger?
No. 014875F is the tube bundle, callout 4-H in Raypak's parts list. Raypak lists the complete copper heat exchanger assembly for the 156A as 014870F, with the in/out header, return header and bypass parts under their own numbers.
Will it fit a Raypak 106A?
No. Raypak lists the 106A tube bundle as 014874F. The 014875F is the 156A part.
Does it fit Rheem or Ruud 156A heaters?
Raypak's 156A manual covers the Raypak, Rheem and Ruud versions of the heater (R, M or D in the model number), and its parts list gives one tube bundle number for the 156A: 014875F.
What should I check when I replace the tube bundle?
Inspect the bypass assembly. Raypak says the hydraulic conditions or water chemistry that caused the old bundle to fail have very likely damaged the bypass valve, which can cause the new bundle to fail early. When ordering parts, Raypak asks for the heater model number, serial number and type of gas.
What water chemistry protects the new bundle?
For most pool and spa types, Raypak lists pH 7.6 to 7.8, total alkalinity 80 to 120 ppm, calcium hardness 200 to 400 ppm and free chlorine 2 to 3 ppm, never above 5 ppm. Fiberglass pools and spas have their own targets in Raypak's table.
