Triangle Tube Prestige Solo 299 Details

The Triangle Tube Prestige Solo 299 is a high-efficiency, condensing boiler designed for optimal heating performance. It features the advanced ACVMax (or CTRLMax in some mentions) Boiler Management System, which offers a flexible and user-friendly graphical display. This system monitors and controls the boiler to provide heat as efficiently as possible.

Navigation through the ACVMax interface is intuitive, utilizing four arrow buttons and a central OK button for selections. It also includes an "INSTALLER" button for qualified technicians to access advanced features. The system displays real-time operating information, a lockout history, and an EZ Setup function for quick customization of settings, simplifying initial configuration.

The Prestige Solo 299 incorporates dual central heating (CH) call inputs, each capable of having separate outdoor reset curves for enhanced energy savings. It also supports Domestic Hot Water (DHW) call input with optional priority, ensuring that hot water demands are met promptly. This boiler can even manage a mixing valve for dual-temperature heating systems.

For larger installations, a cascade function allows up to six Prestige Solo boilers to operate together as a single heating system, providing scalable solutions. Furthermore, a Modbus interface is integrated for seamless communication with building management systems (BMS), making it suitable for modern smart home or commercial building environments.

Safety is a paramount concern, with several features integrated into the design. The boiler includes a factory-installed pressure sensor type Low Water Cut Off (LWCO) and an integral control function that senses water temperatures to protect against low water conditions. It also features a freeze protection system that activates pumps at 46°F (8°C) and the burner at 42°F (6°C), ending once the water reaches 60°F (15°C).

A crucial safety measure highlighted is the requirement for at least two hard-wired carbon monoxide detectors: one in the mechanical room and another in the living area outside sleeping quarters. This emphasizes the importance of protecting occupants from this byproduct of gas-fired appliances.

The Prestige Solo 299's heat exchanger design allows operation in a condensing mode, which significantly boosts efficiency. This design also eliminates the need for strict regulation of return water temperature in radiant heating applications, and importantly, it can be used with non-oxygen barrier tubing systems (though not in conjunction with SMART indirect water heaters in such setups).

Installation requires the unit to be wall-mounted, needing a wall capable of supporting at least 265 lbs (120 kg). While approved for zero clearance to combustibles, recommended service clearances are advised: 24 inches top, front, and bottom, and 6 inches sides. Proper ventilation and uncontaminated combustion air supply are critical for safe and efficient operation.

The boiler can operate on both Natural Gas and Propane, with a conversion kit included. The gas valve is factory-set, meaning no field adjustment of outlet pressure is required. It uses a Category IV or Direct Venting system, which necessitates sealed, gas-tight piping to prevent flue gas spillage.

For optimal performance and longevity, strict water quality guidelines are outlined. Boiler fluid pH must be maintained between 6.0 and 8.0, and water hardness should be less than 7 grains. The system must be thoroughly flushed to remove sediment and treated with an approved inhibitor. Using petroleum-based cleaning compounds or adding cold makeup water to a hot appliance is strictly prohibited, as these actions can cause significant damage.

Regular maintenance, both by the owner (daily, monthly, 6-month checks) and an annual service technician inspection, is essential to ensure the unit's maximum efficiency and reliability. This includes checking for leaks, inspecting vent and combustion air piping, and verifying the proper functioning of safety devices and controls, all contributing to the long-term safe and effective operation of the Prestige Solo 299.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can't find the answer you need? Here are some frequently asked questions about the Triangle Tube Prestige Solo 299, and we answer them below.


What is the AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) of the Triangle Tube Prestige Solo 299?
The Prestige Solo 299 boasts an impressive AFUE of 95%, indicating its high energy efficiency for heating.

What type of display and control system does the boiler use?
It features the ACVMax (or CTRLMax) Boiler Management System with a user-friendly graphical display, offering icon-based navigation and real-time operational status.

Does the Prestige Solo 299 support outdoor reset control?
Yes, it includes an outdoor reset function that optimizes boiler efficiency by reducing water temperature as the heating load decreases, requiring an outdoor temperature sensor connection.

Can this boiler be converted to use propane gas?
Absolutely. The unit is designed to operate on both Natural Gas and Propane, and a conversion kit is included for switching between fuel types.

What are the carbon monoxide detector requirements for installation?
Triangle Tube requires a minimum of two hard-wired carbon monoxide detectors with alarms and battery backup: one in the mechanical room and one in the living area outside sleeping areas.

What is the minimum operating water pressure for the boiler?
The minimum operating system pressure for the Prestige Solo 299 is 10 psig. The unit will shut down if pressure falls below 7.2 psig.

Is the Prestige Solo 299 approved for zero clearance to combustibles?
Yes, it is approved for zero clearance to combustibles, excluding vent and boiler piping, which require specific clearances as per installation guidelines.

What type of venting system is required for the Prestige Solo 299?
It requires a Category IV or Direct Vent (sealed combustion) venting system, utilizing uncontaminated outdoor air piped directly to the appliance for combustion.

How often should the boiler be serviced?
Annual service by a qualified technician is required, preferably at the start of the heating season, in addition to periodic owner maintenance (daily, monthly, and every 6 months).

What should I do if I smell gas near the appliance?
If you smell gas, do not attempt to light any appliance, do not touch electrical switches or use any phone in the building. Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone or the fire department.

Can multiple Prestige Solo 299 units be installed together in a cascade system?
Yes, the ACVMax control system supports a cascade function, allowing up to six Prestige Solo boilers to operate together as a single heating system.

What is the purpose of the 'EZ Setup' feature?
The EZ Setup menus provide a simplified way to quickly customize the boiler's settings, such as central heating and domestic hot water parameters, without complex navigation through all installer menus.

What are the recommended boiler fluid pH levels?
The boiler fluid pH level must be maintained between 6.0 and 8.0 to ensure proper operation and warranty coverage of the heat exchanger.

Does the Prestige Solo 299 have a high temperature limit safety feature?
Yes, it has a high temperature limit set at 210°F (99°C), which can be temporarily lowered to 102°F (39°C) for testing purposes, triggering an E3 lockout if exceeded.

Can the boiler heat exchanger be cleaned?
Yes, the manual provides detailed procedures for cleaning the heat exchanger using compressed air or water to remove accumulation if the flue gas temperature exceeds 54°F (30°C) above the supply water temperature.
