Comparison

NTI Trinity Lx700 vs Lx800

Verdict in brief

The Lx700 and Lx800 are the two largest Trinity Lx boilers: the Lx700 fires 160 to 700 MBH per the I&O manual (the page table omits it), while the Lx800 fires 160 to 800 MBH with a full page row — 475 lb, 2" water connections, a 1" NPT male gas connection and 6" venting to 100 ft.

What actually separates them

The Lx800 carries the full product-page treatment: 160 to 800 MBH input, 475 lb, 2" NPT female water connections, a 1" NPT male gas connection and 6" venting to a 100 ft maximum run per side. The Lx700 has no page row; its 160 to 700 MBH input range is documented in the Lx 150–800 I&O manual.

Both models share the same 160 MBH minimum fire, so at low fire the two boilers behave identically; the Lx800's 100 MBH of extra ceiling is pure headroom at the top of the range. NTI's manual rates sizes from 500 MBH — including both of these — by combustion (95%) and thermal (94%) efficiency rather than DOE AFUE.

For a plant whose load approaches 800 MBH the Lx800 is the size NTI fully specifies on its page, including the 6" venting plan. The Lx700 remains a legitimate intermediate step for loads beyond the Lx600 but below the 800, specified from NTI's LX700 submittal and I&O manual documents.

The NTI Trinity Lx700 fires 160 to 700 MBH and appears in the Lx 150–800 I&O manual even though the product page's spec table omits it. NTI still publishes its submittal and specification downloads, making it the documented bridge between the 600 and the 800.

Frequently asked questions

Do the Lx700 and Lx800 have the same minimum fire?

Yes — both fire down to 160 MBH, per the I&O manual for the 700 and the product page for the 800.

What venting does the Lx800 need?

6" pipe to a 100 ft maximum equivalent run per side, per the NTI product page — the largest venting class in the Lx line.

Where is the Lx700's specification?

In the Lx 150–800 I&O manual and the LX700 submittal and specification documents; the product page's spec table omits the 700.
