Measurement of Vogue flue from the wall please. Not a self instal question.

[Mr.B]

Firstly - I'm not going to instal the boiler. I've had one RGI round and he didn't go climbing round the loft to check clearances at, what is at the moment, a preliminary stage. But I have been up there making sure the run of the proposed flue is feasible.

My one simple question is how far is the flue away from the wall as it exits the boiler? There's an obstruction in the loft 270mm from the wall so the furthest part of the flue from the wall needs to be less than 270mm.

The Ideal Vogue Installation Instructions are readily visible online but I can't see the measurement I'm after. It might be there but I'm quite possibly, too stupid to see it.

Thanks.

I just spotted a Youtube video of a fella installing one and it looks to me as though from the wall to the furthest part of the flue is around 200mm. Even if I add the 18mm for the plywood backboard that's required (it's a stud wall) it seems there's enough space.

Hopefully someone will correct me if I'm wrong. (it's not unknown).

Either no-one knows the measurement for sure - or people think I'm gonna do the job meself (which, even if I were permitted to, I wouldn't at my age).
