Product Overview
The Raypak 010368F Heat Exchanger Tube Bundle is a genuine Raypak replacement tube bundle designed for compatible Raypak 206A and 207A commercial ASME pool heaters with metal headers. This replacement heat exchanger tube bundle is built with cupro-nickel construction for enhanced corrosion resistance and durability in demanding pool heating environments.
This tube bundle is commonly used when the existing heat exchanger has failed, developed leaks, become scaled, corroded, or lost heating efficiency. It provides a targeted repair solution for compatible Raypak ASME heater models without replacing the entire heater.
Ideal For
This tube bundle is ideal for pool heater technicians, commercial pool service professionals, facility maintenance teams, and qualified installers repairing compatible Raypak ASME heaters. It is especially useful for commercial pool and spa applications where ASME construction, cupro-nickel durability, and proper heater fitment are required.
Key Features
Genuine Raypak Replacement Part
Designed as an OEM Raypak replacement tube bundle for compatible ASME heater models. Using the correct Raypak replacement part helps ensure proper fit, reliable heat transfer, and compatibility with the heater’s metal header design.
Cupro-Nickel Construction
The cupro-nickel tube bundle provides enhanced resistance to corrosion compared with standard copper tube bundles. This makes it a strong option for commercial pools, high-use systems, saltwater pools, and applications with more demanding water conditions.
ASME Heater Compatibility
This tube bundle is designed for compatible commercial ASME Raypak 206A and 207A heater models. It is intended for heaters with metal headers / cast iron manifolds, not residential models with plastic Capron headers.
Includes Hardware and Gaskets
Supplier listings commonly describe this kit as including hardware and gaskets needed for tube bundle replacement. Commonly listed components include a baffle, stud bolt kit, and nine header gaskets.
Restores Heater Heat Transfer
A damaged or scaled tube bundle can reduce heater performance and may cause leaks or shutdown issues. Replacing the tube bundle can help restore proper heat transfer and heater operation when the existing assembly is confirmed to be faulty.
Commercial Repair Solution
This replacement tube bundle allows repair of the heat exchanger section without replacing the complete heater. It is a practical service part when the heater cabinet, burner system, controls, and headers remain in usable condition.
Benefits
The Raypak 010368F Tube Bundle helps restore heating performance and reliability in compatible Raypak commercial ASME heaters. Its cupro-nickel construction provides added durability for demanding pool environments, while the included gasket and hardware components help support a complete tube bundle replacement.
Because this is a critical heater water-path component, professional installation is strongly recommended. Proper diagnosis, heater disassembly, gasket installation, leak testing, water chemistry review, and safe startup procedures are required for reliable operation.

Customer-Facing Q&A
Q: What is the Raypak 010368F used for?
A: It is a replacement heat exchanger tube bundle for compatible Raypak 206A and 207A commercial ASME pool heaters with metal headers.
Q: Is this cupro-nickel or copper?
A: This model is the cupro-nickel ASME tube bundle. Cupro-nickel provides added corrosion resistance compared with standard copper.
Q: Which heater models does this fit?
A: It is commonly listed for Raypak commercial ASME 206A and 207A heater models, including C-R206A and C-R207A style applications with metal headers.
Q: Will this fit residential Raypak 206A heaters with plastic headers?
A: No. This tube bundle is intended for commercial ASME models with metal headers / cast iron manifolds. Residential models with plastic Capron headers use different tube bundles and are not interchangeable.
Q: What comes with the kit?
A: Supplier listings commonly describe the kit as including the tube bundle, baffle, stud bolt kit, and nine header gaskets.
Q: When should a tube bundle be replaced?
A: It may need replacement if the heat exchanger is leaking, corroded, scaled, damaged, or no longer transferring heat properly after professional diagnosis.
Q: Is 010055F the same as 010368F?
A: 010055F is commonly referenced as an interchangeable copper tube bundle option, while 010368F is the cupro-nickel version. Confirm the desired material before ordering.
Q: Should this be installed by a professional?
A: Yes. Heat exchanger tube bundle replacement should be performed by a qualified pool heater technician because the repair involves heater disassembly, water-path sealing, combustion safety, and leak testing.
