Yes, it would need to be connected to an indirect water heater.
No, this unit is designed to operate quietly.
No, the kit needs to be purchased separately. It is part number 383-500-350.
In order to determine which boiler would be best for you, please try our boiler sizing calculator ( http://www.pexsupply.com/pex/control/BTUCalculator ).
Yes, these units can be converted over to LP. A conversion kit, including an alternate orifice, should have came with your unit. The pressure exiting the manifold depends on which gas you are using. Natural gas supply would give you a pressure between 5 w.c-13 w.c (water column = w.c). Liquid Propane supply would give you a pressure between 4 w.c. - 13 w.c.
The BTU output of 81,000 is if you are installing the boiler in a place that already does not have heat, such as a shed- which would be your worse case scenario. Most people are installing the boiler in a house which changes the output to around 94,000 which increases that efficiency rating as well. All this information can be found in the product manual which can be viewed below: http://s3.pexsupply.com/manuals/1276634743893/31976_PROD_FILE.pdf
The lower rating is called IBR (Institute of Boiler & Radiators ) output. It is basically counting for btu losses in uninsulated supply and return piping as well as the radiator or baseboards themselves. In modern radiant tubing installations with low temperature condensing boilers, the DOE number which is much closer to actual input can be used. On forced air furnaces, it would be equivilent to the amount we have to figure in our heat loss studies for duct leakage and poor insulation on the ducts. The boiler manufacturer is basically covering it's tail and making sure you have a little margine for below design day conditions or any other factors they have no control over. I can assure you that the boiler listed here can easily handle a radiant heating system in a house needing 81,000 btu/h by an accurate heat loss study and still have close to 16% spare capacity.
As a follow up to the answer I gave earlier, the actual efficiency of the boiler is for every 100,000 btu's of gas supplied to boiler, you get 95,000 btu's transfered to the water inside the boiler. It does not take any losses in the rest of the system into account. It is the only thing the boiler manufactuer can control.
