Verdict in brief

The DCB-100 and DCB-125 are the mid-size DCB heating-only boilers: both at 95% AFUE in the shallow 13-9/16" cabinet, with the DCB-125 raising input from 93.5 to 125 MBH maximum and heating capacity from 85.4 to 113 MBH (net water 98 against 74 MBH) while its minimum fire steps from 16.6 to 22 MBH and its weight from 94 to 104 lb.

What actually separates them

Both are wall-hung, heating-only models of the DCC/DCB AI family at 95% AFUE in the 30" x 17-3/4" shallow cabinet (13-9/16" deep) with 1 gallon water content and 3/4" system supply/return (G straight thread).

The sell sheet prints CH input of 16.6-93.5 MBH on the DCB-100 against 22-125 MBH on the DCB-125, heating capacity of 85.4 versus 113 MBH and net water ratings of 74 versus 98 MBH.

The DCB-125's 22 MBH minimum fire sits 5.4 MBH above the DCB-100's 16.6 MBH floor, so in a modest-load home the smaller boiler tracks shoulder-season demand more closely. Both pages print '(While supplies last)' with no current documents — guidance applies to service and parts of installed units.
