Well, I put one in about a year ago. So far I have had 0 call backs.

It doesn't have as many features as the ultra and its not as friendly to vent.. However it is stainless.

My major complaint is the pressure drop across the heat exchanger. You're looking at a minimum of a Taco 0010 which is a little more expensive than your standard 007. It is also pretty noisy when installed on the 3/4" tappings on the the boiler.

I still contend that the Triangle Tub Prestige Solo 110 is the best value on the market. I would look into them if I were you.

Be careful

about parts availability. We have a customer, factory authorized service agent for NTI, stop selling them because of he couldn't get parts readily. Has switched to Triangle Tube Prestige. It's a better boiler.

we sell the Nti for wisconsin. we've never had problems getting our hands on parts. NTI's support is second to none! be careful with the prestige! wiring harnesses suseptible to moisture. Stick with the trinity. its a very well built boiler.

The most important part on any boiler is its operator. All three are excellent boilers, saving there owners money and distinguishing their installers from the herd.

I have more than 25 of the NTI trinity boilers intalled. I have had good luck with them. I carry every replacement part for them in my truck. Only parts I have ever used is the ignitors and an ignition mod. Not sure that is any different than any other brand of boiler. And do not install them unless you throughly understand P/S pumping. I find their pipng diagrams confusing and I do things a little bit differently than the way they say. And I always use a flow switch. I end up using an addition pump that is larger than I would absolutely have to use, but it is necessary in order to trip the flow switch.

Here is a photo of a recent install.

Dave,
How long was it after the install that you had to install an ignitor,and/or a ignition module? What were the circumstances behind it? That's been the two things that have deferred (sp?)me from installing these boilers. TIA

Dave. Watch for the float ball in the drain trap sticking. Just had one, less than a year old. hx had codensate up to the flame rod and finally quit running once the rod got wet. New rod and ignitor and still would not fire. Used a torch as an ignitor and it fired. Ran about 24 hours before the shop got back to temp, and it fired with the old rod and ignitor.

NTI is not the only one using the condensate trap with the ball in it. I saw that the Prestige is using them too. The purpose of the ball is prevent flue gas from escaping until the trap is filled with fluid. NTI will tell you to clean off the ball and reinstall. However, from what I have seen, it only takes a few moments for the trap to fill once the boiler is fired up. The urge is overwhelming to throw the darn ball thing away. I had a boiler flood twice. No damage, just drained the HX and it started right up. No problem since I removed the ball.

Trinitys balls

Ive had so many call backs on the condensate balls sticking that I have them removed prior to start up. The trap can be pre primed and from then on it should be fine.cant count the number of hours Ive spent on this issue and am now going with the prestige due to its low head loss factor.
