CONTENTS
1.1 INTRODUCTION.
e Alpha InTec 50CS is a oor standing, high eciency, condensing, room-sealed combination boiler. e burner is lit electronically and the heat
output is controlled by a modulating fan and gas valve.
is is a combination boiler (for domestic use only) providing both central heating and domestic hot water at mains pressure.
e boiler is supplied with a pump, pressure relief valve, expansion vessel and pressure gauge fully assembled and tested. It is designed for use with a
fully pumped, sealed and pressurised central heating system.
e boiler must be installed indoors in a frost free environment.
IMPORTANT
is boiler meets the requirements for Building Regulations for unvented hot water storage systems and the Local Authority must be notied of the

Health & Safety Document No. 635 (e Electricity At Work Regulations 1989)
e installation should also be in accordance with the following British Standard Codes of Practice:-
BS 5440:1 Flues
BS 5546: Installation of hot water supplies for domestic purposes
BS 6700: Design, installation, testing and maintenance of services supplying water
BS 6798: Installation of gas red hot water boilers
BS 6891: Gas installation
BS 7593: Code of Practice for treatment of water in heating systems
BS 7671: Requirements for electrical installations, IEE Wiring Regulations
BS EN 12828 Heating systems in Buildings. Design for water based heating systems
BS EN 12831 Heating systems in Buildings. Method of calculation for design heat load
BS EN 14336 Heating systems in Buildings. Installation and commissioning of water based heating systems
Reference should be made to DEFRA document 'Guide to condensing boiler installation assessment procedures for dwellings'.
If installation is in a timber framed building, refer to the Institute of Gas Engineers document IGE/UP/7.
is appliance meets the requirements of IPX4D, i.e. degree of protection against moisture.
is appliance contains no asbestos and no substances have been used in the construction process that contravene the COSHH Regulations (Control
of Substances Hazardous to Health).
Failure to install this appliance correctly could lead to prosecution. It is in your own interest and that of safety to ensure that the law is complied with.
Manufacturer's instructions must NOT be taken in anyway as over-riding statutory obligations.
Notes: 1. Ensure that the Benchmark Checklist has been completed aer 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 Notication Scheme.
3. e boiler must only be used with Alpha CD condensing ue components.
NOTE: e boiler can be supplied ready for use with Propane (LPG).
e LPG boiler is also designed for use with a fully pumped, sealed and pressurised heating system.
In addition to the regulations and requirements stated in these installation and servicing instructions, LPG boilers must be installed in accordance
with BS 5482:1 - e Installation of Propane Burning Appliances in Permanent Dwellings.
Installation pipes, cylinders and pressure regulators for LPG boilers should be tted in accordance with BS5482:1. Bulk tank installations must comply
with the requirements of the Home Oce code of practice for the storage of liqueed petroleum gas at xed installations.
LPG boilers must not be installed in a room or internal space below ground level, e.g. in a basement or cellar, except where at least one side is open to
ground level.
LPG supply pipes must be capable of delivering the required quantity of gas in addition to the demand from any other appliances in the house. e
complete installation must be tested for gas soundness against leaks.
LPG boilers have been tested and factory set for use with Propane (LPG), it should only be necessary to ensure the correct gas supply pressure of 37 mbar is
available.
