NTI Trinity TFTN500
The NTI Trinity TFTN500 is the smallest floor-mounted TFTN: 50 to 500 MBH input at 98% thermal efficiency, with a 489 MBH heating capacity and a 425 MBH Net AHRI rating, weighing 575 lb with water on 2" NPT water connections with 4" venting to 150 ft.

NTI Trinity TFTN500 in practice
NTI lists the floor-mounted TFTN500 at 50 to 500 MBH input with 98% thermal efficiency, a heating capacity of 489 MBH and a Net AHRI rating of 425 MBH — a thermal rating rather than an AFUE figure, matching the column treatment the TFTN340 and TFTN399 wall models receive. The boiler weighs 575 lb with water, holds 12.5 gallons, connects on 2" male NPT water pipe with a 1" male NPT gas connection, and vents in 4" pipe to 150 ft each side.
The TFTN500 is the entry size of the floor-mounted branch NTI sells for commercial applications: the same product page that markets the wall-hung 085–399 sizes says the larger 285-to-850 MBH sizes are available for commercial work. For a Lower Mainland building the model is sized from a heat-loss or plant-demand calculation rather than floor area — the 500, with its 50 MBH minimum fire, is the smallest floor step above the 399 MBH wall-hung ceiling — and LP installations follow NTI's TFTN500–850 conversion instructions.
Best suited to
- Commercial and light-commercial hydronic plants whose load calculation lands between 50 and 500 MBH
- Buildings stepping up from NTI's 399 MBH wall-hung ceiling into a floor-mounted boiler
- Boiler rooms that can run 4" venting within 150 ft per side

Frequently asked questions
Is the TFTN500 rated by AFUE?
No. NTI's floor-mount table lists 98% thermal efficiency for the TFTN500 — the same thermal-efficiency column it uses for the TFTN340 and TFTN399 wall models.
What connections does the TFTN500 use?
2" male NPT water connections and a 1" male NPT gas connection, with 4" inlet and exhaust runs to 150 ft maximum each side, per the NTI product page.
Is the TFTN500 a residential boiler?
NTI positions the 285-to-850 MBH TFTN sizes for commercial applications, and the floor-mounted 500 is documented in the separate TFTN500–850 I&O manual; it suits plant-style loads rather than house-scale heating.
