    All new boilers now require a 22mm incoming supply so yes leaving the 15mm one was them cutting corners. Definitely get a CO monitor as well.

    To be strictly accurate all new boilers require what the manufacturer says they require in their instructions. I have a new heat only boiler (not a combi) in a box upstairs that will be quite adequately supplied by 15mm gas pipe......but it all depends on whether the gas flow and pressure can be maintained up to spec. with all other appliances running.

    We just do the calculations and install whats required, but as the OP has found, some do not and I have indeed found combis installed on woefully small supplies and people get upset when you condemn them, as they are dangerous with an inadequate gas supply.
