Product Description
The Genie 080839.7971.S is an OEM #65 ANSI roller chain with 797 pitches (approximately 14 ft door height coverage) and is the maximum door height in the 6051 series. NOT interchangeable with the 5911-series 14 ft chain (080839.7831.S, 783 pitches), which is for a different operator model.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What door height and series does the 080839.7971.S chain fit?
A: This chain is #65 ANSI with 797 pitches, sized for 14 ft door height installations on Genie 1/2HP commercial operators in the 6051 series. The 6051 series uses 605P for 10 ft, 701P for 12 ft, and 797P for 14 ft doors.
Q: Can I substitute the 5911 series 783P chain for this 797P chain on a 14 ft door?
A: No. The 6051 series (797P for 14 ft) and the 5911 series (783P for 14 ft) are NOT interchangeable, even though both target 14 ft doors. They reflect different operator models or generations with different sprocket center-to-center distances. Always verify which series your operator requires before ordering.
Q: What is the difference between this 797P chain and the 5911 series 783P chain for 14 ft doors?
A: Both are #65 ANSI roller chain with a 0.75 in pitch and are designed for Genie 1/2HP commercial operators. The difference is pitch count: 797P (this part) is for 6051 series operators, while 783P is for 5911 series operators. Using the wrong pitch count will result in improper chain tension and potential operator damage.
Q: What other pitch counts are available in the 6051 series, and is 797P the largest?
A: The 6051 series spans three door heights: 605P for 10 ft, 701P for 12 ft, and 797P for 14 ft. The 797P (080839.7971.S) is the longest and final chain in the 6051 series lineup.
Q: What material is the 080839.7971.S chain made from, and is it suitable for commercial use?
A: This chain is constructed from hardened steel for heavy-duty commercial use. It is designed to handle the demands of 1/2HP commercial Genie operators and high-cycle door applications. Always lubricate the chain at recommended intervals to maximize service life.
