- 400,000 BTU The top output in the Universal H-Series range, sized for larger pools and faster heat up.
- Low NOx Built to Low NOx requirements, which many jurisdictions ask for on a new gas heater installation.
- Universal H-Series Hayward positions the line around installation flexibility for the service professional.
- Two part numbers on record Cataloged as W3H400FDN and also listed as H400FDN, so either number points here.

Product details
The Hayward Universal H-Series is the 400,000 BTU natural gas pool heater in Low NOx form, part W3H400FDN. It is the largest output in the residential H-Series range.
Why the Universal H-Series
Hayward built the Universal H-Series around the installer. The line is aimed at energy efficient, high output heating that adapts to the equipment pad it lands on, which is why it turns up so often on service replacements rather than only on new builds.
Fuel and emissions
This heater burns natural gas. If your pad runs on propane, the propane version is a separate model, so check the gas supply before ordering. The Low NOx rating matters too: a number of regions only allow Low NOx gas heaters on new installations, and this unit is built to that standard.
Part numbers and delivery
You may see this heater listed as W3H400FDN or as H400FDN. Both point to the same 400,000 BTU natural gas Low NOx unit. It ships by freight on a pallet, so allow for a delivery appointment.
