I am inthe very early stages of deciding the layout of my new kitchen.
Cansomeone please tell me if (in principle) it is possible to install a combiboiler on a wall where the “chimney” flue needs to exit the top of the boilerand turn at right angles, then travel almost 1.5 metres to the outside of theexterior wall.
Is thisdistance of travel excessive ?
I willemploy a professional to do the installation work when ready but would like toknow (in principal if the above is possible
Manythanks in advance for any advice offered

I say 'engineers' but is that actually true in the strictest sense of the word? I guess that depends on how you interpret the work of a Plumber but it's by the by. I'll put a disclaimer in here so as to not confuse some. I am not attempting a repair of my own, I am not a DiY enthusiast where...
