NTI Trinity TRX150C vs TRX199C

Verdict in brief

The TRX150C and TRX199C are the two largest TRX combis, both rated 95% AFUE. The 199C jumps to the heavy class: 135 lb with 1 1/4" NPT CH connections, heating input to 197 MBH (LP 192) and 4.8 GPM continuous DHW, against the 150C's 92.8 lb, 120 MBH and 3.5 GPM — with bulletin-restricted 2" venting terms.

What actually separates them

The 150C sits on the TRX light chassis (92.8 lb, 1" male sweat CH connections, 3/4" sweat DHW connections), while the 199C moves to the heavy class: 135 lb, 1 1/4" NPT CH connections and a 3/4" NPT DHW connection. Both are rated 95% AFUE.

Heating input climbs from 13.2 to 120 MBH on the 150C to 19.7 to 197 MBH on the 199C (LP: 19.2 to 192 MBH), and NTI rates continuous DHW at 3.5 GPM for the 150C and 4.8 GPM for the 199C at a 77°F rise. The 199C's DHW rating is the strongest in the TRX combi line.

The 199C costs more than weight and piping class: its 19.7 MBH minimum fire is the highest in the TRX series, and its 2" venting terms follow NTI technical bulletin 2022-10-26, so 3" pipe to 150 ft per side is the planning figure. It belongs in larger homes and small multi-suite plants whose heat and hot-water calculations both approach its ratings.

Frequently asked questions

How much hot water does the TRX199C deliver?

4.8 GPM continuous at a 77°F rise, against 3.5 GPM on the TRX150C — the highest DHW rating in the TRX line.

Why does the 199C need different piping?

It moves from the light chassis' 1" sweat CH connections to 1 1/4" NPT, and its 3/4" DHW connection is NPT rather than sweat, matching the larger near-boiler flow rates.

When is the 199C overkill?

When the heat-loss calculation is well below 150 MBH. Its 19.7 MBH minimum fire and heavier 135 lb chassis are only justified when heating and DHW demand genuinely approach its range.

Not sure which one fits your home?

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