Laars Mascot LX MLX 220 in practice
The MLX 220 is one of the seven MLXH wall-mounted modulating boiler sizes in Laars' discontinued Mascot LX line, documented in the Document 1285 installation and operation manual. The sizing table lists it at 220,000 BTU/h input and 209,000 BTU/h output at 95% AFUE, on a 1/2 in NPT gas connection and 1" NPT water connections, with a 161 lb shipping weight.
This size is heating-only; the MLXC combi is offered at 125, 150 and 175 MBH. The Mascot LX nomenclature reads M LX for the series, H or C for hydronic or combination, W for wall-hung, the three-digit size, N or P for fuel, A for altitude (4% per 1,000 ft derate above 2,000 ft), a revision digit, an options code (X standard or L low-water cut-off) and a pump option (N with pump). Laars files Document 1285, its French version and the parts list and warranty under Discontinued Documents.
Best suited to
- Homes whose heat-loss calculation matches 220,000 BTU/h input
- Heating systems that pair the boiler with an indirect tank or separate water heater
- Retrofits replacing a wall-hung boiler with a 95% AFUE modulating unit
