U.S. Boiler Company K2WT-180M in practice
The K2WT-180M is a K2 watertube condensing gas boiler rated at 18–180 MBH input. Its row in the K2 Product Data Sheet (Form USBL14061) prints 168 MBH DOE heating capacity, a 146 MBH net AHRI water rating and 94.5% AFUE, and the data sheet states the 180M is for installations above 2,000 feet.
The boiler weighs about 119 lb, vents in 3" with horizontal and vertical configurations up to 135 equivalent feet per side, and connects on 1" NPT supply and return with a 1/2" gas line. Standard equipment includes the Sage2.3 control with touch screen, a pre-installed boiler-loop circulator, a universal vent connection for CPVC/PVC, polypropylene and stainless steel, a flow switch, supply/return/high-limit water sensors and a pre-installed hanging bracket and wall-mount kit.
Boilers.ca documents this size at model level from the K2 Product Data Sheet for identification and service planning; the K2 Firetube and K2 Combi siblings are covered on the K2 series page because no printed rating table is published for them. Gas, venting and electrical work belongs with a licensed contractor. No official Canadian-sales statement was found, so canadianStatus stays 'unknown'.
Best suited to
- 18-to-180 MBH residential heat-loss loads
- Homes needing the wider K2 cabinet and 3-inch venting
- Buyers comparing K2 watertube sizes against the K2 Firetube line
