RBI Futera III 2000 in practice
RBI's Futera III product page prints the 2000 row as 2000 MBH (586 kW) input and 1704 MBH (499 kW) boiler output, in a 47.1875" × 29.125" × 69" cabinet (1199 × 740 × 1752 mm) with a 1100 lb (499 kg) shipping weight.
The row lists Category I 12", Category II 10" and Category IV 10" flue options, a 12" air intake, 1 1/2" gas and 2 1/2" water connections. The Futera III is a gas-fired copper 4-pass heat exchanger (160 psi) with HEATNET 3.0 integrated controls, Modbus/LonWorks/BACnet integration and full modulation with 4:1 turndown, per the product page.
RBI rates the Futera III line at 85.6% AHRI Boiler Efficiency. Boilers.ca prints the rating-table row exactly as published and does not estimate values RBI does not print; the I&O manual (FTIII-IOM-15) and the series brochure are linked from the official literature library. No official Canadian-sales statement was found, so canadianStatus stays unknown.
