NTI Trinity FTVN150C vs FTVN199C

Verdict in brief

The FTVN150C and FTVN199C are the two largest FTVN combis, both 95% AFUE. The 199C lifts space heating from 150 to 199 MBH and continuous DHW from 3.6 to 4.8 GPM at a 77°F rise for 12 lb more weight, but its minimum fire rises to 19.9 MBH and its 2" venting terms follow NTI technical bulletin 2022-10-26.

What actually separates them

Both combis share the FTVN platform at 95% AFUE with integrated DHW plates and the same 1 1/4" NPT CH and 3/4" DHW connections. The 150C fires 15 to 150 MBH at 128.5 lb; the 199C fires 19.9 to 199 MBH at 140.5 lb, so the 199C adds roughly 49 MBH of heating ceiling for 12 lb.

On the hot-water side, NTI rates continuous DHW at 3.6 GPM for the 150C and 4.8 GPM for the 199C at a 77°F rise — the 199C is the FTVN combi for households whose draws genuinely approach two simultaneous showers or a fast-filling tub.

The 199C's minimum fire of 19.9 MBH (against 15 MBH) and its bulletin-restricted 2" venting terms are the two planning checks: the boiler should be planned on 3" pipe to 150 ft per side, and its heating side should be justified by a heat-loss calculation rather than by the DHW desire alone.

Frequently asked questions

Is the 199C worth it over the 150C?

For DHW, yes — 4.8 GPM against 3.6 GPM continuous at a 77°F rise. The heating side must also justify 199 MBH and a 19.9 MBH minimum fire, since oversizing reduces steady condensing in mild weather.

Do both combis vent the same way?

Both allow 2" to 100 ft and 3" to 150 ft in the manual, but the 199C's 2" terms follow NTI technical bulletin 2022-10-26, so its installation should be planned on 3" pipe.

What do the two combis weigh?

128.5 lb for the FTVN150C and 140.5 lb for the FTVN199C per NTI's product table.
