Comparison
Verdict in brief
The PEG225EID and PEG262EID are adjacent sizes in the current PEG-E gas-fired cast-iron STEAM line — both non-condensing atmospheric boilers with a rear-mounted integral draft hood, probe-type LWCO and pressure controls, rated at 83% and 83.2% AFUE. The PEG262EID fires 262 MBH against 225 MBH, printing 164 MBH of net steam (141) over 685 sq ft (587), with 8 cast-iron sections against 7; both use (2) 2" piping risers, both use a 7" vent pipe and a shipping weight of 659 lb against 584 lb.

| Specification | Utica PEG225EID | Utica PEG262EID |
|---|---|---|
| Input | 225 MBH | 262 MBH |
| Heating capacity | 188 MBH | 219 MBH |
| Net AHRI steam rating | 141 MBH | 164 MBH |
| Steam radiation | 587 sq ft | 685 sq ft |
| AFUE | 83 % | 83.2 % |
| Cast-iron sections | 7 | 8 |
| Vent pipe size | 7" | 7" |
| Piping risers | (2) 2" | (2) 2" |
| Dimensions (W x H x D) | 23⅞ × 35⅞ × 30⅜ | 27⅛ × 35⅞ × 30⅜ |
| Shipping weight | 584 lb | 659 lb |
Both models are PEG-E gas-fired cast-iron steam boilers — non-condensing, atmospheric chimney venting through a rear-mounted integral draft hood and vent damper, with cast-iron push nipples, stainless steel burners, and a probe-type low water cut-off with pressure high-limit control, pressure gauge and gauge glass. Neither modulates: input is fixed.
The sell-sheet ratings table prints 225 MBH input, 188 MBH heating capacity, 141 MBH net steam over 587 sq ft and 83% AFUE on the PEG225EID, against 262 MBH, 219 MBH, 164 MBH over 685 sq ft and 83.2% on the PEG262EID. Net steam ratings use a piping and pickup allowance of 1.333.
The physical step changes the near-boiler piping: both use (2) 2" piping risers, both use a 7" vent pipe, both take ¾" NPT gas, and cabinet dimensions move from 23⅞ × 35⅞ × 30⅜ in to 27⅛ × 35⅞ × 30⅜ in with shipping weight from 584 to 659 lb. Steam sizing starts from the connected radiation load, so the heat-loss and radiation survey decides between the two — installation belongs with a licensed contractor.

262 MBH input against 225 MBH, 164 MBH net steam over 685 sq ft against 141 MBH over 587 sq ft, and 8 sections against 7, per the official PEG-E sell sheet.
PEG225EID: (2) 2"; PEG262EID: (2) 2", per the IOM near-boiler piping figures. The product page describes single and dual piping riser options depending on boiler size.
No — every PEG-E is a non-condensing cast-iron steam boiler with atmospheric chimney venting, an integral draft hood and a vent damper.
A consultation includes a heat-loss review so the size is right the first time.
