Prestige SOLO 80-110-PA Series Natural Gas to Propane
Product Information: Prestige SOLO 80-110 – PA Series Natural
Gas to Propane Instructions
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, 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.
Product Usage Instructions: Prestige SOLO 80-110 – PA Series
Natural Gas to Propane Conversion
- 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. - Disconnect the gas supply piping inside the Prestige enclosure
at the nut located on the bottom of the gas valve. - Remove Molex plug from gas valve.
- Remove the retaining clip from the venturi assembly.
- Remove the gas valve from the venturi assembly by pulling
down. - 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. - Reinstall the gas valve into the venturi assembly. Use care not
to damage the o-ring between the venturi and the gas valve. - Reinstall the retaining clip onto the venturi assembly.
- Reconnect the gas supply piping onto the gas valve. Use care
not to damage the gasket between the gas valve and the gas
piping. - Reinstall the air inlet elbow onto the venturi assembly.
- Affix the new rating label included in the kit to the unit
adjacent to the existing rating label without covering it. Add
propane conversion labeling to the gas valve.

13. 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
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.
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.
14. Reattach the air inlet elbow to the venturi.
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.
15. Replace the front jacket panel and secure with screws.
16. Turn on the electrical power supply to the Prestige boiler and return the unit back to service.
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.
10. Reinstall the gas valve into the venturi assembly.
11. 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.
12. Reconnect Molex plug to the gas valve electrical connection.

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
3. 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.
4. Press the RIGHT button to highlight the Manual Operation icon then press the OK button.
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.
5. Press the OK button while the FAN icon is highlighted to manually fire the burner and power the CH1 circulator (see Fig. 4).
Manual Operation
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.

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.
6. Press the RIGHT button to adjust the firing rate
to 100% (high fire). Hold down the RIGHT
button to rapidly increase the firing rate.

7. If the combustion levels during 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):
1. Throttle Screw Fig. 5: Combustion Adjustment – Prestige Burner
O2 increases and C02 decreases
Clockwise adjustment of the THROTTLE SCREW at High Fire (100% firing rate):
O2 decreases and CO2 increases
8. 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.
9. 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.
11. Press the LEFT or RIGHT button to highlight the home screen icon to exit the service mode.
