Triangle Tube Prestige Solo 80 Boiler Details

The Triangle Tube Prestige Solo 80 boiler features an advanced CTRLMax Boiler Management System, designed for both flexibility and ease of use. This sophisticated system constantly monitors and controls the boiler to ensure optimal heating efficiency for your home. Its graphical display presents information clearly, using plain English and intuitive icons, eliminating the need for complex code charts.

Navigation through the CTRLMax system is straightforward, utilizing four arrow buttons (UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT) and a central OK button for selections. An "INSTALLER" button grants qualified contractors full access to all features via a password, allowing for detailed system configuration. The main menu is easily accessible from the home screen, providing icons for various functions.

Key features include an EZ Setup mode, which simplifies the customization process by guiding the user through essential settings without extensive manual browsing. This allows for rapid configuration tailored to specific installation needs. The system also supports multiple language selections, enhancing user accessibility across different regions.

The Prestige Solo 80 is a Category IV or Direct Vent appliance, meaning it is certified for pressurized venting and condensate systems. It can draw uncontaminated outdoor air directly for combustion, which is recommended to mitigate risks associated with indoor contaminants and promote higher system efficiency. This design ensures that heated indoor air is not exhausted unnecessarily.

The unit’s heat exchanger is specifically engineered for condensing mode operation. This allows for the boiler to operate with lower return water temperatures, a benefit particularly in radiant heating applications, and potentially removing the need for additional mixing systems if zones require similar temperatures. The heat exchanger also supports installation with non-oxygen barrier tubing, offering versatility for various heating systems.

Safety is paramount with the Prestige Solo 80. It incorporates a factory-installed pressure sensor for low water cutoff (LWCO), which will shut down the unit if pressure falls below 7.2 psig. The manual emphasizes the critical importance of installing at least two hard-wired carbon monoxide detectors with alarms and battery backup in the mechanical room and sleeping areas. Regular homeowner and technician maintenance schedules are provided to ensure unit reliability and safety.

Maintenance includes daily checks of the surrounding area for flammable materials and ensuring ventilation openings are clear. Monthly tasks involve inspecting vent and combustion air piping, along with the condensate drain system, which must always be filled with water. Every six months, homeowners should check water and gas piping for leaks and operate the pressure relief valve to ensure proper function.

For enhanced control, the system offers two central heating (CH) call inputs, each capable of having separate outdoor reset curves for maximizing efficiency. It also supports domestic hot water (DHW) calls, with an optional priority setting that can temporarily prioritize hot water production over space heating. The boiler can even integrate with external modulating controllers and building management systems (BMS) via Modbus for advanced automation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can't find the answer you need? Here are some frequently asked questions about the Triangle Tube Prestige Solo 80 Boiler, and we answer them below.


What is the minimum and maximum input BTU/hr for the Prestige Solo 80?
The Prestige Solo 80 has a minimum input of 16,000 BTU/hr and a maximum input of 80,000 BTU/hr.

What type of venting system does the Prestige Solo 80 require?
The Prestige Solo 80 requires a Category IV venting system, designed for pressurized venting and condensate, and can be installed as a Direct Vent (sealed combustion) appliance.

What is the recommended annual maintenance for the Prestige Solo 80?
Annually, a qualified service technician should inspect the boiler interior, clean the condensate drain, check boiler fluid pH, inspect for leaks (water, gas, flue, condensate), verify vent and air inlet piping, and check boiler water pressure and expansion tank.

Can I use automotive antifreeze in my Prestige Solo 80 heating system?
No, you must NEVER use automotive or ethylene glycol antifreeze or undiluted antifreeze in the system as freeze protection. Only use antifreeze specifically designed for boiler/hydronic heating systems and ensure it does not exceed a 50/50 concentration with water.

What should I do if I smell gas near my Prestige Solo 80?
Do not try to light any appliance, do not touch any electrical switch, and do not use any phone in the building. Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone, and if you cannot reach them, call the fire department.

What is the role of the CTRLMax Boiler Management System?
The CTRLMax system monitors and controls the Prestige Solo 80 to provide heat as efficiently as possible. It offers a graphical interface for navigation, status information, EZ Setup, and advanced features for heating and domestic hot water operation.

Are carbon monoxide detectors required with the Prestige Solo 80?
Yes, Triangle Tube requires the installation of a minimum of two hard-wired carbon monoxide detectors with an alarm and battery backup: one in the mechanical room and another in the living area outside sleeping areas.

What are the acceptable pH and hardness levels for the boiler fluid?
The boiler fluid pH level should be maintained between 6.0 and 8.0. For areas with unusually hard water, the hardness should be less than 7 grains. Consult a water treatment company if levels are outside these ranges.

Can the Prestige Solo 80 be installed in a residential garage?
Yes, but it must be mounted a minimum of 18 inches (458 mm) above the garage floor level, ensuring the burner and ignition devices are also at least 18 inches high. It must also be protected from damage by moving vehicles.

What happens if the low water cutoff (LWCO) device is activated?
The Prestige Solo 80 is equipped with a pressure sensor type LWCO. If the system pressure falls below 7.2 psig, the unit will shut down. A "Low Water Pressure" warning will be displayed if the pressure drops to 10.1 psi.

How do I ensure the condensate drain assembly is working correctly?
Visually inspect the assembly to ensure it is firmly secured. While the unit is running, check the discharge end for flue gas leaks. Periodically pour water through the fill plug port to ensure the tubing is not blocked and that the assembly remains filled with water.

What is the purpose of the outdoor reset function?
The outdoor reset function optimizes boiler efficiency by reducing the boiler water temperature as the heating load decreases (i.e., as the outdoor temperature rises). It requires an outdoor temperature sensor for operation.

Can the Prestige Solo 80 provide domestic hot water?
Yes, the Domestic Hot Water (DHW) terminals can accept a call from an aquastat or temperature sensor, allowing the boiler to provide heat to an indirect hot water heater, often with optional priority over central heating.
