Hi,
I am currently having a few quotes done to replace my boiler+cylinder with a combi and one of the plumber who offered to fit either atag or a vieassmann said that I can't have a boiler that supply 30kw because my connection for the gas supply is provided through a 22mm pipe. He told me that I can have a boiler that is less powerful or upgrade the pipes. The problem with upgrading the pipes is that the gas meter is on the other side of the flat so this is not an option. Having a less powerful boiler would mean I could not run both showers at the same time. I need to boiler to run 2 showers at the same time.
I went on the Atag website and looked at the documentation

and searched for the gas supply connection
In section 9.5 gas connection in general - it says the following
The boiler connection is provided with an isolation valve with 22mm compression fitting, into which the gas line can be fitted
Does the mean that the boiler can indeed work with a 22mm gas supply ?
The other plumbers (vaillant, worcester) did not raise this as being a problem - who is right? Was this overlooked?
Thanks
