What actually separates them

The NRCR92DV and NRCR111DV are Noritz's recirculating condensing tankless pair, both DHW-only appliances with a fully integrated recirculation pump. They share a 12,800 BTU/h minimum fire, 0.98 UEF, a 62 lb, 26.1 x 18.1 x 11.8 in cabinet, indoor-or-outdoor installation and 100–140°F settings.

The NRCR111DV adds capacity: 199,900 against 165,000 BTU/h of input and 11.1 against 9.2 GPM of flow, with the same 0.4 GPM minimum. Recirculation specifications are identical — up to 200 ft in 1/2" piping or 500 ft in 3/4", dedicated-line or crossover-valve options, and Auto Learning / Manual Timer / Title 24 On-Demand modes.

Neither is a boiler: the NRCR line heats domestic water and circulates it for faster delivery, but it does not heat buildings. Sizing follows peak hot-water demand and the recirculation layout.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the NRCR92DV and NRCR111DV?

Maximum input (165,000 against 199,900 BTU/h) and maximum flow (9.2 against 11.1 GPM). Both are 0.98 UEF with the same minimum fire, cabinet and recirculation specifications.

What does the integrated recirculation pump do?

It circulates hot water through the piping so fixtures receive hot water faster, with up to 200 ft of recirculation in 1/2" piping or 500 ft in 3/4". The pages print Auto Learning (default), Manual Timer and Title 24 On-Demand modes.

Are NRCR models available in Canada?

Boilers.ca found no Canadian availability statement on the NRCR pages, so Canadian availability is recorded as unknown. Confirm with a Noritz distributor.
