Genie 080839.7831.S Roller Chain, #65 x 783P (14')
The Genie 080839.7831.S is an OEM #65 ANSI roller chain with 783 pitches (approximately 14 ft door height coverage) for Genie commercial door operators using the 5911-series chain specification. NOT interchangeable with the 6051-series 14 ft chain (080839.7971.S, 797 pitches). At 14 ft, both the 6051 and 5911 series offer chains - confirm which series your specific operator model requires.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the 783P designation mean, and is this chain interchangeable with other 14 ft Genie chains?
A: This chain is part of the 5911 series, designed for Genie commercial operators requiring 783 pitches of #65 ANSI chain to cover a 14 ft door height. It is NOT interchangeable with the 6051 series 797P chain, which also covers 14 ft but uses a different pitch count due to different sprocket center-to-center distances in a separate operator generation or model line.
Q: What is #65 ANSI roller chain and how does it differ from other chain types used in Genie operators?
A: #65 ANSI roller chain has a 0.75 in pitch and is the heavy-duty chain used across Genie 1/2HP commercial operators. The '#65' designation refers to the ANSI chain standard size, distinguishing it from lighter-duty #41 chain used in residential operators. Always verify your operator model requires #65 chain before ordering.
Q: Can I use the 6051 series 797P chain (for 14 ft) in place of this 783P chain?
A: No. The 5911 series and 6051 series are two distinct families of Genie commercial operators with different internal sprocket center-to-center distances. For a 14 ft door, the 5911 series uses 783 pitches (this SKU, 080839.7831.S) while the 6051 series uses 797 pitches. Installing the wrong pitch count will result in incorrect chain tension or failure to fit the operator. Always match the chain series to your specific operator model.
Q: What materials is this roller chain made from?
A: This replacement chain is constructed from hardened steel for durability in commercial access-control applications. The hardened construction helps resist wear and stretching under the continuous cycling demands typical of commercial gate or door operators.
Q: What other chain lengths are available in the Genie 5911 series, and how do I select the right one for my door height?
A: The 5911 series covers door heights of 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, and 20 ft using pitch counts of 591P, 687P, 783P, 879P, 975P, and 1071P respectively. If you need a replacement chain for a different door height in the same 5911 series operator line, select the corresponding SKU with the matching pitch count - do not substitute a chain from the 6051 series even if the door height nominally matches.
