Product Overview
The Pentair 474061 Tube Sheet Coil Assembly is a genuine OEM replacement heat exchanger designed for compatible 400,000 BTU Pentair MasterTemp and Sta-Rite Max-E-Therm pool and spa heaters. This assembly transfers heat from the combustion system into the circulating pool or spa water, making it one of the heater’s most important internal components.
The 474061 is commonly used to replace a heat exchanger that has developed leaks, corrosion, scale buildup, freeze damage, or reduced heat-transfer performance. Replacing the damaged assembly can restore proper heating efficiency and extend the service life of the existing heater without requiring replacement of the complete unit.
This standard copper tube sheet coil assembly is intended for compatible natural-gas and propane heater models manufactured after January 12, 2009. Always verify the heater model, serial number, production date, and parts diagram before ordering.

Compatible Heater Models
This assembly is designed for compatible standard models, including:
- Pentair MasterTemp 400 Natural Gas
- Pentair MasterTemp 400 Propane
- Sta-Rite Max-E-Therm SR400NA
- Sta-Rite Max-E-Therm SR400LP
This part is not intended for HD, ASME, or older heater configurations unless specifically confirmed by the manufacturer’s parts diagram.
Common Reasons for Replacement
Replacement may be needed when the heater has:
- Water leaking from the combustion chamber
- Cracked or split copper tubing
- Freeze damage
- Internal corrosion
- Severe scale buildup
- Reduced heating output
- Restricted water flow through the coil
- Visible deterioration of the tube sheet assembly
The cause of the original failure should be corrected before installing the replacement. Improper water chemistry, low flow, excessive sanitizer, freezing, and chemical exposure can damage a new heat exchanger.
Installation Information
Installation requires significant heater disassembly and should be completed by a qualified pool-heater technician. Electrical power and gas must be shut off before service. The heater must be drained, disassembled, resealed, pressure-tested, and inspected for proper combustion before returning it to operation.
Professional installation is strongly recommended due to the gas, electrical, plumbing, and combustion requirements involved.
Confirm Before Ordering
Please verify:
- The required part number is 474061
- The heater is rated at 400,000 BTU
- The heater is a standard MasterTemp 400 or Max-E-Therm SR400
- The heater was manufactured after January 12, 2009
- The heater is not an HD or ASME model
- The original heater serial number and parts diagram match this assembly
Warranty Information
