The Alpha InTec range of high efficiency condensing boilers are all mounted, fan assisted room-sealed system boilers. The
burner is lit electronically and the heat output is controlled by a modulating fan and gas valve.
These are system boilers providing heating only for sealed central heating systems.
The boilers are supplied with a pump, pressure relief valve, expansion vessel and pressure gauge fully assembled and
tested. They are designed for use with a fully pumped, sealed and pressurised central heating system.

1. Ensure that the Benchmark Checklist has been completed after the boiler has been installed and commissioned.
2. It is the law that all boiler installations are registered by the installer through the Gas Safe Gas Work Noti
fi
cation Scheme.
3. The boiler must only be used with Alpha CD condensing flue component .
NOTE:
All models may be supplied ready for use with Propane (LPG) - Refer to Section 2.2 for data specific to Propane versions.
The boilers are designed for use with a fully pumped, sealed and pressurised heating system using only Propane gas.
In addition to the regulations and requirements stated in these installation and servicing instructions, the boiler must be

Propane supply pipes must be capable of delivering the required quantity of gas in addition to the demand from any other
appliances in the house. The complete installation must be tested for gas soundness against leaks.
Propane boilers have been tested and factory set for use with Propane, it should only be necessary to ensure the correct
gas supply pressure of 37 mbar is available.
