Comparison

Dunkirk DCB-75 vs DCB-100

Verdict in brief

The DCB-75 and DCB-100 are the two smallest DCB heating-only boilers of the discontinued '(While supplies last)' AI line. They share the shallow 13-9/16" cabinet at 94 lb and near-identical 16.6 MBH minimum fires; the DCB-100 raises the input ceiling from 75 to 93.5 MBH with heating capacity up from 68.2 to 85.4 MBH — and the DCB-75 is the only model of the family that prints 92% AFUE rather than 95%.

What actually separates them

Both are wall-hung, heating-only models of the DCC/DCB AI condensing family in the 30" x 17-3/4" cabinet at 13-9/16" depth and 94 lb, with 1 gallon water content, 3/4" system supply/return (G straight thread), 3/4" NPT gas and 13/16" ID-hose condensate.

The sell sheet prints CH input of 16.6-75 MBH on the DCB-75 against 16.6-93.5 MBH on the DCB-100, with heating capacity of 68.2 versus 85.4 MBH and net water ratings of 60 versus 74 MBH. The DCB-75's 92% AFUE is printed as-is in the official table while every sibling prints 95%.

With identical minimum fires, the pair modulates the same in mild weather; the DCB-100 only earns its place where the design-day load exceeds the 75's 68.2 MBH of capacity. Both sit on a page printing '(While supplies last)' with zero current documents, so guidance here is for service of installed units rather than new purchases.

The Dunkirk DCB-75 is the 75 MBH-class central-heating model of the DCB 'AI' condensing line: 16.6 to 75 MBH input at 92% AFUE with 68.2 MBH heating capacity and a 60 MBH net water rating. The DCB page prints '(While supplies last)' with no current documents, so this model is discontinued (sell-through).

Frequently asked questions

Why does the DCB-75 print 92% AFUE?

As printed in the official sell sheet table: the DCB-75 lists 92% AFUE while the DCB-100 and the rest of the family list 95% — the same anomaly appears on Utica's MAH-75 twin.

Are the two models the same physical boiler?

Effectively — both use the shallow 13-9/16" cabinet at 94 lb with 16.6 MBH minimum fires; only the input ceiling and capacity differ.

Can I still buy either DCB model?

The official DCB page prints '(While supplies last)' with no current documents — the line is in end-of-life sell-through, so availability is limited to remaining dealer stock.
