    Thanks for the input. This pool heater is propane, 399000 btu. I cut along the headers(or manifolds) with a hacksaw, this one is cast iron.
    Amount of copper depends on btu rating. This one has 27.9lbs of copper.



    Didn't see any soldering of any kind either but I'll also post some pics.
