What actually separates them

The WAN-Sub-CA submittal lists the WAN125PM at 125,000 BTU/hr input, 96% thermal efficiency, 145 GPH recovery and a 145 lb shipping weight; the WAN201PM lists 201,000 BTU/hr, 96%, 232 GPH and 177 lb.

The submittal flags WAN125PM and WAN200PM as Canada-only models and WAN201PM as the AHRI-certified model, so specifiers should confirm which edition applies to the project.

Both use a 1/2" gas connection, 3" air and vent connections and 5:1 turndown; the water connection steps from 1" on the 125 to 1-1/4" on the 201.
