Utica PEG299EID in practice
The PEG299EID is one of the seven PEG-E gas-fired cast-iron steam sizes Utica prints: 299 MBH input for 250 MBH heating capacity and 188 MBH net steam and 782 sq ft at 83.4% AFUE. The official sell-sheet ratings table prints 9 cast-iron sections, a 7" vent pipe, 30⅜ × 35⅞ × 30⅜ in cabinet dimensions and a 736 lb shipping weight for this size.
It is a non-condensing atmospheric chimney-vent design with a rear-mounted integral draft hood and vent damper, a cast-iron heat exchanger with cast-iron push nipples, stainless steel burners, and 2" NPT return and supply with two supply and two return tappings. Gas is ¾" NPT; electrical is 120 V AC at under 12 A. The IOM near-boiler piping figures print (2) 2" for this section count, and the product page describes single and dual piping riser options depending on boiler size.
Steam controls include probe-type lwco with pressure high-limit control, pressure gauge and gauge glass. Utica prints a 12-year non-prorated limited residential warranty plus 5-year parts, and the official Gas Boilers category card carries the 'Current' tag (checked 2026-09-09). The IOM contains no discrete fault-code or LED-diagnostic table for these steam boilers — troubleshooting is mechanical/pressure oriented — and gas, steam and venting work belongs with a licensed contractor.
Best suited to
- Steam-heated buildings whose radiation load fits 188 MBH of net steam capacity
- Low-clearance installations that suit the low-profile atmospheric design
- Owners of an installed PEG identifying their size and documentation
