Comparison
Verdict in brief
The BFIT 1500 adds 501,000 BTU/hr of input and 471,000 BTU/hr of output over the BFIT 1000, but drops to 96% thermal/combustion efficiency, moves from Natural Gas or LP to Natural Gas only, changes the NOx figure from <10 ppm to <20 ppm, and grows to an 8" vent and 1-1/4" gas connection in a slightly larger cabinet.

| Specification | Bryan BFIT 1000 | Bryan BFIT 1500 |
|---|---|---|
| Input, low fire | 100,000 BTU/HR | 150,000 BTU/HR |

| Output, high fire | 969,000 BTU/HR | 1,440,000 BTU/HR |
| Boiler horsepower | 29 BHP | 43 BHP |
| Thermal / combustion efficiency | 97 % | 96 % |
| Recovery rate (100°F rise) | 1,187 GPH | 1,764 GPH |
| Water volume | 8 gal | 11 gal |
| Fuel | Natural Gas or LP | Natural Gas ONLY |
| Burner turndown | 10:1 | 10:1 |
| Low NOx emissions | <10 ppm | <20 ppm |
| Approx. shipping weight | 600 lb | 770 lb |
| Width | 25 5/8" | 26 3/8" |
| Length | 52 3/8" | 55 3/8" |

Bryan's submittals print the BFIT 1000 at 100,000–999,000 BTU/hr input and 969,000 BTU/hr output with 97% efficiency and <10 ppm NOx, against the BFIT 1500 at 150,000–1,500,000 BTU/hr input and 1,440,000 BTU/hr output with 96% efficiency and <20 ppm NOx.
The fuel row also changes: the 1000 accepts Natural Gas or LP, while the 1500 submittal prints Natural Gas ONLY. Venting and gas connections step up to 8" and 1-1/4", and the cabinet grows to 26 3/8" × 55 3/8" × 40 1/4" from 25 5/8" × 52 3/8" × 38 1/2".
Both retain 10:1 turndown, ASME Section IV 160 PSIG / 210°F ratings, the 2" water connections and the ten-year limited pressure vessel warranty. The 1500's higher electrical draw is 10 A against 8 A.

Bryan Boilers
The Bryan BFIT 1500 is a commercial condensing stainless-steel boiler rated 1,500,000 BTU/hr input and 1,440,000 BTU/hr output at 96% thermal/combustion efficiency, 43 BHP, with 10:1 turndown and <20 ppm NOx in Bryan's published submittal.
Bryan's submittals print <10 ppm NOx for the BFIT 1000 and <20 ppm for the BFIT 1500; the larger model also drops from 97% to 96% efficiency.
The BFIT 1500 submittal prints Natural Gas ONLY, while the BFIT 1000 lists Natural Gas or LP.
A consultation includes a heat-loss review so the size is right the first time.
