U.S. Boiler Company ES2 ES27 in practice
The ES2 ES27 is a cast-iron, chimney-vented gas water boiler rated at 210 MBH input. Its row in the ES2 Product Data Sheet (Form HYDL09081) prints 178 MBH DOE heating capacity, a 155 MBH net AHRI water rating at a 1.15 piping and pickup allowance, and 85.0% AFUE, with a 7" vent and 6 gallons of boiler water.
The boiler ships at approximately 464 lb and measures 24-3/4" wide by 41 inches high by 33 inches deep, connecting on 1-1/4" supply and return with a 3/4" gas valve. Standard equipment includes the Intelligent Hydronic Control with a three-digit status/error readout, the IQ Option Panel for plug-and-play outdoor reset with DHW priority, low water cutoff and auxiliary high limit, a step-opening redundant gas valve, stainless-steel flue baffles, spark ignition with retry, a circulator and a resettable blocked vent switch. Ratings are certified to 2,000 feet and decrease three percent per 1,000 feet above that, with altitude kits required above 5,400 feet.
Boilers.ca documents this size at model level from the ES2 Product Data Sheet and links the published I&O manual. Gas, venting and electrical work belongs with a licensed contractor. No official Canadian-sales statement was found, so canadianStatus stays 'unknown'.
