Customer-Facing Q&A
Q: How do I know this kit fits my heater?
A: This kit is specifically for the 400K HD models manufactured after January 12, 2009 (new tube design). Confirm your heater’s model number, date code and that it is labeled “HD” or 400K series.
Q: What components are included in the kit?
A: The kit includes the coil/tube assembly, sealing O-rings, insulation kit, ignitor, blower adapter plate and gasket kits.
Q: Do I need to replace the entire heater if only the tubes are damaged?
A: Not necessarily — if the rest of the heater (blower, burner assembly, cabinet, wiring) is in good condition, replacing the heat-exchanger coil via this kit is a viable and cost-efficient repair.
Q: Is installation difficult?
A: It is a technical repair and should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with gas-heater maintenance, pressure testing and leak checks. Basic mechanical skill and safety protocol apply.
Q: What maintenance should follow installation of the new coil?
A: After installation, ensure proper combustion tuning, pressure testing, delay-start check, and monitor for leaks or abnormal pressure losses during initial operation.
