Know before you buy
No, this specific Unitherm Governor Plug is designed exclusively for Raypak units equipped with a polymer heat exchanger. It is compatible with the 185-406, 206A, 266A, 336A, 406A, 207A, 267A, 337A, and 407A series heaters.
Genuine Raypak parts are manufactured to exact factory specifications, ensuring a precise fit that maintains the integrity of your heater. Aftermarket components may not offer the same material quality or seal, which can lead to leaks or long-term damage to your heat exchanger.
This component is made from Capron, a high-strength polymer specifically chosen for its durability and heat resistance within the pool heater's internal environment.
You should inspect the plug if you notice water leaking from the heat exchanger area or if the heater is failing to maintain consistent water temperatures. If the plug shows signs of cracking, warping, or brittle material degradation, it should be replaced immediately to prevent further system damage.
This product is the governor plug itself. We recommend checking your existing seals during installation to see if they need to be replaced, as they are often sold separately.
