Comparison

New Yorker CG-F CG20F vs CG30F

Verdict in brief

The CG20F and CG30F are the two smallest CG-F cast-iron gas boilers, both 84.0% AFUE in the same 14-inch-wide cabinet with a 4-inch vent. The CG30F adds 32 MBH of input and about 52 lb, and unlike the CG20F it is not restricted to installations at or below 2,000 feet.

What actually separates them

Both are chimney-vented cast-iron water boilers with the integrated boiler control, thermal purge, integral LWCO and pump relay. Their rows both print 84.0% AFUE and a 4-inch vent: the CG20F at 38 MBH input with 32 MBH DOE heating capacity and 28 MBH net AHRI, the CG30F at 70/59/51 MBH.

The altitude note separates them in practice: the specification table states the CG20F is not for use above 2,000 feet, while the other rows are certified to 2,000 feet with a 2.5% rating decrease per 1,000 feet above that and altitude kits required above 5,400 feet.

Both share the 14-inch-wide, 40-inch-high, 32-inch-deep cabinet and 1-1/4-inch water connections; the CG30F's shipping weight is about 254 lb against the CG20F's 202 lb.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the CG20F restricted at altitude?

The CG-F specification table states the CG20F is not for use above 2,000 feet; the larger rows are certified to 2,000 feet with a 2.5% decrease per 1,000 feet above that, and altitude kits are required above 5,400 feet.

Do both models use the same vent size?

Yes — both list a 4-inch vent diameter in the CG-F specification table.

Which size fits a typical older home?

That depends on the calculated heat loss and the connected radiation. The CG20F covers the smallest loads; the CG30F exists for loads above what the 20 delivers.

Not sure which one fits your home?

A consultation includes a heat-loss review so the size is right the first time.
