I have this boiler and this is the only rating plate I can find on it very curious what the actual model number is and how many BTUs it is

    I did see a model number online that was 61-13 that seemed quite similar and was wondering maybe they typed it in backwards? Or I might be way off

    The minimum relief valve capacity of 384 pounds per hour gives a clue as to the BTU rating. 970 BTU per pound of steam. 372,000 BTU.

    Big house?

    If this is natural gas fired, you can clock the test dials on the gas meter to see how much gas it's burning, then calculate the BTU input from there. Do this while all other gas appliances in the house are turned off.

    One cubic foot of natural gas at standard temperature and pressure is 1,031 BTU. This may vary if you are in an area with an unusual gas supply. Your gas supplier can tell you.
