Comparison

Bryan BFIT 650 vs BFIT 1000

Verdict in brief

The BFIT 650 and BFIT 1000 are dimensionally identical (25 5/8" × 52 3/8" × 38 1/2") with the same 97% efficiency, 10:1 turndown, <10 ppm NOx, 6" vent and 1" gas connection; the 1000 adds 349,000 BTU/hr of input and 338,000 BTU/hr of output, 1.2 more gallons of water and 70 lb of shipping weight.

What actually separates them

This pair shares one submittal template: Bryan prints the same width, length, height, water connections, vent and gas sizes, fuel options, turndown and NOx for both models. The difference is capacity — 65,000–650,000 BTU/hr input on the 650 against 100,000–999,000 BTU/hr on the 1000, with output rising from 631,000 to 969,000 BTU/hr.

Efficiency stays at 97% thermal/combustion on both, and both remain in the models 400–2000 group Bryan documents as fitting through standard doorways. The recovery rate at a 100°F rise rises from 772 to 1,187 GPH.

For a plant sized near 650 MBH, the 1000 can be specified into the same footprint and connections when future load growth is expected; the trade is 8 A versus 7 A maximum electrical draw and 600 lb versus 530 lb shipping weight.
