Raypak 011601F Bypass Kit for 106A and 130A Heaters

Raypak 011601F Bypass Kit for 106A and 130A Heaters

Part # 011601F | Genuine Raypak replacement part | For the 106A above-ground heater and the 130A

The bypass is the automatic valve built into the heater's inlet/outlet header. It responds to water pressure and keeps the right amount of flow going through the heater as pump and filter conditions change. 011601F is the bypass kit Raypak lists for the 106A above-ground pool and spa heater.

✅ Fits these Raypak models:

• Raypak 106A above-ground pool and spa heater, 105,000 BTU
• Raypak 130A pool and spa heaters, millivolt and direct spark ignition (DSI), built 2005 to 2013
• Not for the 156A, which takes bypass kit 015548F
• Not for the 206A to 406A family, which takes bypass kit 006715F

🔧 Details:

• Raypak parts list name: Bypass Kit, callout 9-H, under Heat Exchanger
• The parts list groups three components under the kit, each with its own part number: bypass valve 006716F, bypass dam/shaft 006717F and bypass spring 011602F
• Installs in the inlet/outlet header

📌 Good to know:

• Raypak's parts list warns that the flow or water chemistry problem that ruins a tube bundle has very likely damaged the bypass valve too, and recommends inspecting the bypass assembly whenever a tube bundle is replaced.
• The manual's troubleshooting table says to inspect the bypass for movement and replace it if it does not move.

Check your heater's model and serial number before ordering.
