95%
HIGH EFFICIENCY

Peak Performance for Hydronic
and Radiant Heating
Introducing the Alpine from Burnham, a condensing boiler
with efficiency ratings of 95%. The Alpine utilizes a stainless
steel heat exchanger, designed to extract maximum heat from
the combustion process, along with a control system that
is designed to enhance boiler efficiency as well as system
efficiency. With 7 different models ranging in size from 80,000
BTUs – 500,000 BTUs, there’s a model for nearly every job from
small residential to light commercial installations. Intelligent
features are wrapped in a sleek, modern appliance-like jacket,
making the Alpine both attractive and smart.
Stainless steel heat exchanger
The heart of the Alpine boiler is the ASME-certified stainless
steel heat exchanger. Each heat exchanger is factory
hydrotested to insure quality and reliability.
Alpine Controls
The control system on the Alpine has several features that
maximize efficiency and comfort of the heating system:
• Full Modulation with 5-to-1 turndown
• Outdoor Reset
• Plug & Play Connections
• Domestic Hot Water Priority
• Stackable, with Built-in Provisions for External Staging
Controls. Built-in terminals can receive a 0-10V DC signal
from an external modulating control.
Natural or LP Gas
The Alpine is designed for easy field conversion from natural
gas to LP gas with no kits or special tools required. The turn of
a screw is all it takes!
FREE 5-Year Parts & Labor Warranty
The unmatched protection of a FREE 5-year parts &
labor warranty is available with every Alpine boiler
under 300 MBH and used in a residential application.
This plan covers all Burnham-provided parts and
the associated labor costs on eligible Alpine boilers
for five years from the date of installation at no
additional cost! Alpine boiler registration is required
within 90 days from the installation date. Registratrion is fast
and simple, either by completing and mailing the registration
card provided with the Alpine boiler or via the web at
www.burnham.com/productregister.
Gas-fired, Condensing Stainless Steel Boiler
Alpine
Stackable cabinets allow two Alpine boilers to fit the footprint
of one. This feature is standard on every Alpine. When
stacked, 1000 MBH requires approximately six square feet!

Simple Connections
All gas, water, and
electrical connections
are made from the left
side of the boiler
Smart Controls
Display panel shows
control status, settings
can be adjusted with
soft-touch buttons
Sealed Top Panel
The sealed top panel
protects boiler controls
from spills or leaks;
the components are
also isolated from the
lower jacket to protect
them from cold or moist
combustion air
Single Point Power
Boiler pump and DHW
pump are powered
directly from the Alpine
Negative Cabinet
Pressure
Lower portion of the
boiler cabinet operates
under a negative pressure,
creating an additional
layer of safety
Efficient Combustion
Air and fuel are pre-mixed
in the blower assembly
for clean, balanced
combustion
Condensate
Protection
Unique polyproplyene
condensate trap (patent
pending) stands up to acidic
condensate, and features an
integral float switch which
protects the heat exchanger
from back-up
Design Simplicity
Separate spark rod and
flame sensor are used for
longevity and reliability
Control panel slides out
for easy servicing
American-Made Quality
Alpine boilers are designed
and assembled in Lancaster,
PA. Each Alpine is hydro-
tested and fire-tested in
order to deliver safety,
efficiency, durability
and low emissions.
Long Lasting Comfort
Durable, efficient stainless
steel heat exchanger
maximizes heat transfer

Venting
Easy To Move
and Install
Jacket sides are equipped
with flush mounted carry
handles. Jacket bottom
features nylon glides
An optional European-standard
Polyproplyene Concentric
Vent System is also available.
The Alpine can also be vented
with an optional two pipe system
using stainless steel (AL29-4C)
vent matierial.
Alpine comes standard with a CPVC/PVC
vent kit. This ETL-approved material consists of a
30” CPVC starter pipe and one 90° CPVC elbow.
