What This Connector Tube Kit Is Used For
The Pentair 77707-0017 kit was designed to provide the applicable internal tubing connection between specific components within compatible Pentair gas heater systems.
A damaged, leaking, cracked, corroded, or improperly seated connector tube can interfere with normal heater operation and may allow internal leakage or pressure loss. The entire connection area should be inspected before replacing an individual tube or fitting.
Compatibility and Fitment Verification
This connector tube kit should only be selected when Pentair part number 77707-0017 is specifically identified for the heater being serviced. Similar-looking heater tubes are not automatically interchangeable.
Verify the following information before ordering or authorizing a repair:
- Complete Pentair heater model number
- Heater serial number and production revision
- Natural gas or propane configuration
- Original Pentair part number
- Tube length, diameter, bends, and routing
- Fitting size and connection style
- Heater-specific Pentair parts diagram
Discontinued-Part and Replacement Guidance
Pentair has discontinued the 77707-0017 Connector Tube Kit. A universal direct replacement should not be assumed. Any replacement or repair solution must match the original component's dimensions, material, fitting style, connection method, routing, temperature requirements, and pressure requirements.
Depending on the heater model and the condition of the surrounding components, the appropriate repair path may involve:
- A verified heater-specific replacement tube or service kit
- A compatible replacement from an established pool-equipment manufacturer
- Professional replication of the original tube by a qualified service provider
- Replacement of the larger heater assembly containing the discontinued component
Installation and Service Information
Gas pool and spa heater repairs involve fuel, electrical, combustion, water-circulation, pressure, and high-temperature systems. Diagnosis and installation should be completed by a qualified pool heater technician or licensed gas-appliance professional familiar with the applicable Pentair heater.
- Shut off the gas supply before servicing the heater.
- Disconnect electrical power at the appropriate breaker or service disconnect.
- Stop water circulation and allow the heater to cool completely.
- Inspect surrounding seals, clamps, fittings, tubing, and connections.
- Check for corrosion, cracks, leakage, heat damage, and deterioration.
- Test the completed repair before returning the heater to normal operation.
