Triangle Tube Prestige SOLO 80-110-PA Series Natural Gas to Propane
Product Information
The Prestige SOLO 80-110 – PA Series Boilers can be converted from natural gas to propane using the applicable kit part numbers PARKIT62 for PA 80 and PARKIT63 for PA 110. The kit includes a rating label, a conversion label, and one propane gas orifice. The conversion should only be done using the recommended tools, including adjustable wrenches, Phillips-head screwdriver, 4mm Allen wrench, flat-blade screwdriver, and calibrated combustion analyzer. The user manual provides warnings for potentially hazardous situations that can result in property damage, serious injury, or death. Users must turn off the electrical power supply at the service panel before proceeding to avoid possible electrical shock hazards. Upon completion of the conversion, users must affix the new rating label included in the kit to the unit adjacent to the existing rating label without covering it. Users must also add propane conversion labeling to the gas valve.

Prestige SOLO 80-110 – PA Series Natural Gas to Propane Instructions
Installation of the Propane Orifice
- Turn off the electrical power supply to the boiler.
- Close the manual gas shut off valve to the unit.
- Remove the front panel of the Prestige by removing the screws along the bottom edge of the unit. Pull the bottom of the panel forward and then lift up to remove the front panel from the unit.
- Remove the air inlet elbow from the venturi using a twist and pull motion. See Fig. 1.
- Disconnect the gas supply piping inside the Prestige enclosure at the nut located on the bottom of the gas valve. See Fig. 1.
- NOTIC: There is a gasket between the gas valve and the gas piping. This gasket must be reinstalled when the gas piping is reconnected onto the gas valve. Use care not to damage the gasket.
- Remove Molex plug from gas valve.
- Remove the retaining clip from the venturi assembly. See Fig. 2.
- NOTICE: There is an o-ring between the venturi and the gas valve. This o-ring must be reinstalled when the gas valve is installed back into the venturi. Use care not to damage the o-ring.
- Remove the gas valve from the venturi assembly by pulling down. See Fig. 2.
- Remove the brass natural gas orifice from the top of the gas valve and install the appropriate brass propane orifice from Table 1. The black rubber o-rings must remain attached to the propane orifice and to the gas valve. See Fig. 2.
Table 1: Propane Gas Orifice
Model | Orifice Size |
---|---|
Solo 80 | 0.142 inch (3.6 mm) |
Solo 110 | 0.175 inch (4.45 mm) |
WARNING: Failure to retain the rubber o-ring on the gas valve will cause
an improper seal between the gas valve and the venturi resulting in a
potential risk of a gas leak. Any potential gas leakage can result in
substantial property damage, serious injury, or death.
WARNING: Ensure the proper orifice for the model is installed
per Table 1. Failure to comply will affect input rate and combustion of the
boiler which can result in substantial property damage, serious injury, or
death.
NOTICE: For the reassembly process do not use adhesive on the venturi/gas
valve o-ring, the orifice oring, or the gas valve/piping gasket. Reinstall the
gas valve into the venturi assembly.
With the gas valve in place, reinstall the venturi gas valve retaining clip to
hold the gas valve in place. Ensure the retaining clip is properly installed
by pulling down on the gas valve and verifying the gas valve is secure.
Reconnect Molex plug to the gas valve electrical connection. Ensure the gas
valve/piping gasket is in place, reconnect the gas piping connection and open
the manual gas shut off valve. Before placing the Prestige boiler back into
operation check and test all gas connections for leaks. Repair leaks if found.
WARNING: Do not check for gas leaks with an open flame. Use a bubble
test. Failure to check for gas leaks can result in substantial property
damage, serious injury, or death. Reattach the air inlet elbow to the venturi.
Replace the front jacket panel and secure with screws. Turn on the electrical
power supply to the Prestige boiler and return the unit back to service.
Combustion Test and Adjustments
- The installer MUST perform a complete combustion check to ensure the following combustion levels in Table 2 are met at high and low input firing rates and the burner is operating at optimum conditions.
Table 2: Recommended Propane Combustion Settings
High Fire | CO2 Range | 10.7 to 12.0% |
---|---|---|
CO2 Target | 11.0% | |
O2 Range | 2.7 to 4.7% | |
O2 Target | 4.2% | |
Low Fire | CO2 Range | 0.5 to 0.6% |
Lower than H.F. CO2
O2 Range| 0.8 to 0.9%
Higher than H.F. O2
| CO Max| 150 ppm
WARNING: The combustion testing and adjustments must be performed by a
qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier. All combustion
measurements must be performed with calibrated equipment to ensure proper
readings and accuracy.
WARNING: Failure to perform a complete combustion test at both high and
low input rates may result in incomplete combustion and the production of
carbon monoxide, which can result in substantial property damage, serious
injury, or death.
WARNING: The combustion levels should be measured at high firing rate. If
the combustion levels are not within the range given in Table 2 for Low Fire
after adjusting High Fire, shut the boiler down and contact Triangle Tube
Technical Support Department. Failure to comply with this requirement can
result in substantial property damage, serious injury, or death.
WARNING: The gas valve outlet pressure is factory set to the correct
value and does not require field adjustment or measurement. Measurement or
adjustments could result in damage to the gas valve and can result in
substantial property damage, serious injury, or death.
- Press the round INSTALLER button. See Fig.
- Enter the installer access code “054” by using the LEFT and RIGHT buttons to select a digit and the UP and DOWN buttons to change the digit. Press the OK button to enter the access code.
- Press the RIGHT button to highlight the Manual Operation icon then press the OK button.
- Press the OK button while the FAN icon is highlighted to manually fire the burner and power the CH1 circulator (see Fig. 4). NOTICE: An adequate CH load must be present to dissipate the heat generated during the combustion test. If an adequate CH load is not available an indirect water heater can be used to dissipate the heat by creating a DHW call which will enable the DHW circulator.
- Press the RIGHT button to adjust the firing rate to 100% (high fire). Hold down the RIGHT button to rapidly increase the firing rate.
- If the combustion levels during the high fire are outside the recommended combustion settings adjust the THROTTLE SCREW (see Fig. 5 on page 5) using a flat-blade screwdriver, or a 4mm allen key, as follows:
- Counter-clockwise adjustment of the THROTTLE SCREW at High Fire (100% firing rate): O2 increases and C02 decreases
- Clockwise adjustment of the THROTTLE SCREW at High Fire (100% firing rate): O2 decreases and CO2 increases
- Once the combustion level is set at high fire, manually place the boiler into low fire mode by pressing the LEFT button to adjust firing rate down to 1% (low fire) to verify low fire combustion settings.
- If the combustion levels (O2 & CO2) during low fire are outside the recommended combustion settings in Table 2, contact Triangle Tube Technical Support Department for assistance. 10. Press the OK button while the fan icon is highlighted to shutdown the burner.
- Press the LEFT or RIGHT button to highlight the home screen icon to exit the service mode.
