Comparison
Verdict in brief
The solar Versa-Hydro pair follows the standard tanks: the PHE130-119S adds 39 gallons of storage over the PHE130-80S for 170 lb more weight (445 vs 275 lb) and a wider 27 x 37 in footprint, both on the 130,000 BTU/hr burner with a 100,000 BTU/hr module, 2" venting and the separate solar heat exchanger in the bottom of the tank.

| Specification | HTP PHE130-80S | HTP PHE130-119S |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum input | 130 MBH | 130 MBH |
| Space-heating module output | 100 MBH | 100 MBH |
| Tank capacity | 80 gal | 119 gal |
| Thermal efficiency (rating table) | 95 % | 96 % |
| Shipping weight | 275 lb | 445 lb |
| Dimensions (W x H x D) | 23" W x 72" H x 34" D | 27" W x 74" H x 37" D |
| Vent size | 2" | 2" |
Both S models share the 130,000 BTU/hr input, 100,000 BTU/hr space-heating module and 2" venting of the PHE130 line, with the solar heat exchanger separated in the bottom portion of the tank per the retired solar page.
Shipping weight moves from 275 lb (80S) to 445 lb (119S) and the footprint from 23 x 34 in to 27 x 37 in; the tank capacity is 80 vs 119 gallons.
The mktlit-03 table lists the solar models with their own weights and the same connection set; Boilers.ca records the shared 95%/96% efficiency figures from the non-solar rating rows for the same tank sizes.
The HTP PHE130-80S is the 80-gallon solar combination appliance in the retired Versa-Hydro line with a 130,000 BTU/hr input and 100,000 BTU/hr space-heating module, recorded from the official mktlit-03 model and rating tables.
The HTP PHE130-119S is the 119-gallon solar combination appliance in the retired Versa-Hydro line with a 130,000 BTU/hr input and 100,000 BTU/hr space-heating module, recorded from the official mktlit-03 model and rating tables.
Solar configuration — the Versa-Hydro-Solar separates the solar heat exchanger in the bottom of the tank from the combustion heat exchanger and hydronic module in the top.
Yes — the PHE130 S models print the same 130,000 BTU/hr input and 100,000 BTU/hr module as the standard PHE130 units.
445 lb against 275 lb for the PHE130-80S in the mktlit-03 table.
A consultation includes a heat-loss review so the size is right the first time.
