Central Heating flue pipe

Hey

New to all this.

We are looking at getting a combi boiler. We are going to be creating a soil stack for an upstairs bathroom so the condensation pipe can run into that. For the flue, can this be run between the wall and the soil stack? Or does it need more space?

    The flue pipe will be coming out the wall and travel past a soil stack. Can the flue pipe be run in the gap between the wall and the soil stack?

    Sorry - still doesn't make sense. Normally the soil stack will be fixed between ½ and 1 inch off the wall so no there isn't room to pass the flue between it and the wall. But I suspect you know that and thats not what you mean so my question remains what do you mean?

    you to explain. The measurements are regulation distances but rather than type them all out please say which configuration you are concerned with. Thanks.
