About the MGC Series 4 (MGC-8D/9D)

The MGC Series 4 is Utica's current two-size cast-iron water boiler line: the MGC-8D and MGC-9D, covering 262 MBH to 299 MBH at 84.0% AFUE. Checked on the official Gas Boilers category page on September 9, 2026, its card carries both the 'Current' and 'Available in Canada' tags. Utica positions it for chimney-vent applications with an integral draft hood and automatic vent damper that reduce height and footprint for low-clearance installations, and a Hydrolevel FuelSmart control that monitors water temperature and delays burner start until residual heat has been transferred to the system.

The official sell sheet (PN 240013317B Rev. 09/04/26) prints the two sizes: MGC-8D with 262 MBH input, 221 MBH heating capacity and a 192 MBH net AHRI water rating; MGC-9D with 299 MBH input, 252 MBH heating capacity and a 219 MBH net AHRI water rating. Both are rated 84.0 AFUE, specify a 60-gal recommended expansion tank, a 7" flue, 12.7/14.4 gal of boiler water and 7/8 burners, and ship at 552/616 lb in 27½" × 36⅜" × 26½" and 30¾" × 36⅜" × 26½" cabinets.

Connections are 1¼" water return and supply with ½" NPT gas; electrical is 120 V AC at under 12 A; MAWP is 50 psi with a 30 psi ASME relief valve. The cast-iron sections use cast-iron push nipples, and the IOM Rev. D also lists the propane MGC-8DP/9DP and an altitude/input table (natural gas 262→245 MBH and 299→280 MBH at altitude, AFUE 84.0 both). Utica prints a 20-year non-prorated limited residential warranty. Gas, venting and combustion work belongs with a licensed contractor.
