There is mounting evidence for triplet superconductivity in the recently discovered skutterudite compound PrOs<sub>4</sub>Sb<sub>12</sub>. In this work, we propose nodal order parameters for the A and B phases of this superconductor which are consistent with angle-dependent magnetothermal conductivity measurements and with low-temperature thermal conductivity data in the range T ≳ 150 mK. The quasiparticle density of states and the thermal conductivity κ<sub>zz</sub> are derived within the quasiclassical approximation.
