Swimming pool or spa gas heaters, cabinets, water header manifolds, and heat exchangers include: gas heaters having an air gap between a cabinet and combustion chamber to reduce heat transfer to sides of the cabinet; gas heaters having a user interface that is repositionable on a top panel; gas heater cabinets including a removable top panel that can be hung on a side panel; gas heaters having a built-in dual junction box; gas heaters having a top-accessible igniter and burner that are interlocked to maintain positioning thereof; adaptable water manifolds including connectable inlet and outlet fittings that adjust effective inlet and outlet positions; heat exchangers having a plurality of tube-and-fin subassemblies arranged in a semi-circular configuration; and water manifolds including internal cartridges that divide the water manifold into a plurality of chambers for improved circulation through a heat exchanger are disclosed.

Compact universal gas pool heater and associated methods

A manifold assembly for use with a heating and cooling system having a body, at least one connecting tube positioned adjacent the body and a fluid regulating device positioned in each connecting tube. The body defines a first passageway for flow of a fluid, such as refrigerant, in a first direction and a second direction. Each of the connecting tubes defines a second passageway for flow of the refrigerant in the first and second directions. The first and second passageways are in communication with one another. The regulating device regulates flow of the refrigerant through the first and second passageways in the first and second directions.
