Fuel
The ratings tables print "Change 'N' to 'L' for L.P. gas models" — PBN is natural gas, PBL is propane, with no LP deration printed.
Venting
Category II or IV special gas venting with AL29-4C stainless steel per the I&O; the 502-2001 M9 sizes use 4"-8" air and vent connections and the 2500-5000 sizes use 9"-14" connections, each to its own maximum run in the manual's vent tables. The boilers are outdoor-installation ready.

About the Power-Fin (PBN/PBL)

The Power-fin is the copper-tube vertical half of Lochinvar's commercial non-condensing line, listed on the current Commercial Boilers page beside the Copper-fin family. The I&O ratings table covers the M9-firing models PBN0502-M9 through PBN2001-M9 at 100-440 MBH minimum and 500-2,000 MBH maximum inputs, and the PBXT-Sub-07 submittal adds the large models PBN2500 through PBN5000 at 2,500,000-4,999,000 BTU/hr input with 2,175,000-4,349,000 BTU/hr gross output and 87.0% AHRI thermal efficiency. Every size is an ASME copper-finned tube, gasketless heat exchanger at 160 psi working pressure, fired by a modulating burner with 5:1 turndown.

The product page for the PBN2001-M9 prints 2,000,000 BTU/hr input, 5:1 turndown, 84% thermal efficiency, the SMART TOUCH LCD display, CON·X·US remote connect, a built-in cascading sequencer for up to eight boilers, outdoor-installation readiness and a 10-year limited warranty; the page copy states thermal efficiencies of up to 87%. The I&O notes that Power-fin boilers require special gas venting (Category II or IV, AL29-4C stainless steel) and that standard boilers operate from sea level to 4,500 ft with a 4.5% derate per 1,000 ft, while high-altitude builds cover 3,000-5,500 ft. Fuel codes split natural gas (N) and propane (L) with no LP deration, and Lochinvar's Canada English pages carry the same line.
