Comparison

Raypak XTherm H7-1505A vs XTherm H7-2005A

Verdict in brief

The XTherm H7-2005A adds 499 MBTUH of input and 479 MBTUH of output over the XTherm H7-1505A on the same XTherm platform. The 2005A tops the 1005A-2005A group at 1,999 MBTUH input and steps the natural-gas connection up to 2 in NPT, still at 96% and 7:1.

What actually separates them

The H7-1505A is rated 1,500 MBTUH input and 1,440 MBTUH output with 7:1 turndown; the H7-2005A is rated 1,999 MBTUH input and 1,919 MBTUH output with 7:1 turndown. Both models carry the same published efficiency figure, so capacity is the variable rather than efficiency.

The 2005A tops the 1005A-2005A group at 1,999 MBTUH input and steps the natural-gas connection up to 2 in NPT, still at 96% and 7:1. Both share the same 70 gpm maximum water flow, so the step up does not enlarge the pump or piping envelope. Shipping or operating weight moves from 1,234 lb to 1,461 lb, which matters for rigging and floor loading.

Both sizes are documented in the same official Raypak submittal for the XTherm family, so the decision is a heat-loss and plant-layout question rather than a documentation difference: size to the calculated design-day load, then check flow, connection and venting dimensions against the submittal for the exact model.

Frequently asked questions

What is the largest XTherm in the 241513 manual?

The H7-2005A at 1,999 MBTUH input and 1,919 MBTUH output, per submittal 241869.

Does the 2005A need a larger gas line?

Yes — the submittal prints a 2 in NPT natural-gas connection against 1-1/4 in on the smaller sizes (propane models use 1 in NPT).

Not sure which one fits your home?

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