Comparison

Bryan BFIT 400 vs BFIT 650

Verdict in brief

The BFIT 400 and BFIT 650 share the same 25 5/8" width, 38 1/2" height, 2" water connections, 97% efficiency and 10:1 turndown, but the 650 adds 251,000 BTU/hr of input and 244,000 BTU/hr of output, grows 15 7/8" longer, steps the vent and gas connections up to 6" and 1", and adds 70 lb of shipping weight.

What actually separates them

Bryan's submittals print the BFIT 400 at 40,000–399,000 BTU/hr input and 387,000 BTU/hr output, and the BFIT 650 at 65,000–650,000 BTU/hr input and 631,000 BTU/hr output. Both are 97% thermal/combustion efficient, 10:1 turndown and <10 ppm NOx, and both accept Natural Gas or LP.

The footprint change is one-directional: the 650 keeps the 25 5/8" width and 38 1/2" height but extends the cabinet from 36 1/2" to 52 3/8" long, with shipping weight rising from 460 to 530 lb. Both remain in the doorway-friendly group Bryan documents for models 400–2000.

Connection sizing changes with capacity: the 400 uses a 4" vent and 3/4" gas inlet, while the 650 moves to a 6" vent and 1" gas inlet, with water connections staying at 2" FNPT outlet / 2" MNPT inlet. Water volume rises from 3.8 to 6 gallons and heating surface from 34.8 to 52 sq ft.
