Crown Boiler Co. Phantom (legacy)
The Phantom is Crown Boiler Co.'s legacy wall-hung gas condensing boiler family — the original 5:1 (SOLA) generation PHNTM080–PHNTM180 and the 10:1 B-generation — now discontinued and superseded by the current Phantom II heat-only and combi models and the Phantom-X, which Boilers.ca documents at model level.

About the Phantom (legacy)
The Phantom is Crown Boiler Co.'s legacy wall-hung gas condensing boiler family, recorded here under boilerType 'condensing' with natural gas or propane firing. The original generation (manual 105312-04, 12/14) covered five sizes from PHNTM080 to PHNTM180 at 5:1 modulation on a Honeywell SOLA control; a B-generation followed (doc 107725-03, 5/18) at 10:1 modulation with models PHNTM080B/100B/120B/150B/180B/180M and 95.0% AFUE (94.5% on the 180M).
Velocity Boiler Works (Crown's current owner — crownboiler.com now redirects to velocityboilerworks.com) documents the original Phantom under 'Phantom Legacy Manuals' on its product-manuals page. The legacy Phantom is discontinued: the current US residential gas catalogue carries the family forward as Phantom II Heat Only and Phantom II Combi models plus the Phantom-X 210-285, all of which Boilers.ca documents at model level on their own series pages.
No official Canadian-sales statement was found, so canadianStatus stays 'unknown'. Boilers.ca links the May 2018 Phantom installation manual (doc 107725-03) here for legacy owners; all gas, combustion and venting work on an installed Phantom belongs with a licensed contractor.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Phantom still sold?
No. The original Phantom generations are documented as legacy on the official page, and the current US residential gas catalogue carries the family on as Phantom II heat-only and combi models and Phantom-X. New purchases come from those catalogues, not the original Phantom.
Which manual applies to my Phantom?
Legacy Phantom units are documented on Velocity Boiler Works' 'Phantom Legacy Manuals' page; Boilers.ca links the May 2018 installation manual (doc 107725-03), which covers the B-generation. The original 5:1 generation was manual 105312-04 (12/14). Match the manual to the generation on the rating plate.
Is Crown the same company as Velocity Boiler Works?
Velocity Boiler Works, LLC (Philadelphia, PA) is Crown's current owner, and crownboiler.com redirects every product and manual URL to velocityboilerworks.com, where current Crown-branded lines are served.
