Comparison
Verdict in brief
The PEG262EID and PEG299EID 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 83.2% and 83.4% AFUE. The PEG299EID fires 299 MBH against 262 MBH, printing 188 MBH of net steam (164) over 782 sq ft (685), with 9 cast-iron sections against 8; both use (2) 2" piping risers, both use a 7" vent pipe and a shipping weight of 736 lb against 659 lb.

| Specification | Utica PEG262EID | Utica PEG299EID |
|---|---|---|
| Input | 262 MBH | 299 MBH |
| Heating capacity | 219 MBH | 250 MBH |
| Net AHRI steam rating | 164 MBH | 188 MBH |
| Steam radiation | 685 sq ft | 782 sq ft |
| AFUE | 83.2 % | 83.4 % |
| Cast-iron sections | 8 | 9 |
| Vent pipe size | 7" | 7" |
| Piping risers | (2) 2" | (2) 2" |
| Dimensions (W x H x D) | 27⅛ × 35⅞ × 30⅜ | 30⅜ × 35⅞ × 30⅜ |
| Shipping weight | 659 lb | 736 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 262 MBH input, 219 MBH heating capacity, 164 MBH net steam over 685 sq ft and 83.2% AFUE on the PEG262EID, against 299 MBH, 250 MBH, 188 MBH over 782 sq ft and 83.4% on the PEG299EID. 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 27⅛ × 35⅞ × 30⅜ in to 30⅜ × 35⅞ × 30⅜ in with shipping weight from 659 to 736 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.

299 MBH input against 262 MBH, 188 MBH net steam over 782 sq ft against 164 MBH over 685 sq ft, and 9 sections against 8, per the official PEG-E sell sheet.
PEG262EID: (2) 2"; PEG299EID: (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.
