Comparison

NTI Trinity FTG1400 vs FTG2000

Verdict in brief

The FTG1400 and FTG2000 sit on either side of NTI's FTG class change: input rises from 140–1400 to 235–2000 MBH and heating capacity from 1,344 to 1,920 MBH, while the page weight steps from 1,210 to 1,710 lb (1,500 to 2,140 lb with water per the I&O manual) and the gas connection from 1 1/4" NPT female to 1 1/2" NPT male. Thermal efficiency is 96% on both page rows.

What actually separates them

The FTG1400 fires 140 to 1400 MBH at 96% thermal efficiency with a 1,344 MBH heating capacity and a 1,169 MBH Net AHRI rating, on the page's 1,210 lb class with a 1 1/4 in NPT female gas connection. The FTG2000 fires 235 to 2000 MBH — also listed at 96% — with a 1,920 MBH heating capacity and a 1,670 MBH Net AHRI rating.

The FTG2000 moves to the large FTG class: 1,710 lb on the page (2,140 lb with water per the I&O manual), a 1 1/2 in NPT male gas connection, and the same 3 in grooved water connections and 8 in air inlet and flue runs to 150 ft. Its minimum fire jumps from 140 to 235 MBH, which is the clearest sign that the 2,000 MBH-class models expect sustained plant load.

Both are heating-only fire-tube boilers with the FTG touchscreen control and cascade settings, and both carry the I&O manual's 10% Canada altitude derate between 2,000 and 4,500 ft. The 2000 earns its place when plant demand approaches its ceiling and the mechanical room can take the heavier unit and the 1 1/2 in male gas connection.

Frequently asked questions

What changes between the FTG1400 and the FTG2000?

Input rises from 140–1400 to 235–2000 MBH and heating capacity from 1,344 to 1,920 MBH; page weight steps from 1,210 to 1,710 lb and the gas connection from 1 1/4" NPT female to 1 1/2" NPT male. Thermal efficiency stays 96% on both rows.

Why does the FTG2000 weigh so much more?

It is the entry of the larger FTG class: 1,710 lb on the page against the 1400's 1,210 lb, with the I&O manual listing the 2,000 MBH class at 2,140 lb with water.

Is the FTG2000 as efficient as the FTG1400?

Yes — NTI's table lists 96% thermal efficiency for both, so the step buys capacity, not efficiency.
