Specifications
Match the badge in front of you to a row before you use any of this. Every figure below was read from the Ideal Heating literature listed under Sources at the foot of this page, checked 6 September 2026. Outputs, variants and part numbers change by year, so the appliance data plate is still the last word.
| Variant | Output | Hot water flow rate | GC number |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vogue Max Combi 26 | 26.0kW max hot water | 10.6 l/min at a 35 degree rise | 47-349-59 |
| Vogue Max Combi 32 | 32.0kW max hot water | 13.1 l/min at a 35 degree rise | 47-349-60 |
| Vogue Max Combi 40 | 40.0kW max hot water | 16.4 l/min at a 35 degree rise | 47-349-61 |
Case size: 740 x 445 x 330mm (combi casing). Weight: 32.4 to 35.4kg lift weight.
- Unlike the Logic Max, the Vogue Max heating side scales with the badge. Central heating gas rates run 1.869, 2.695 and 3.314 m3/h for the 26, 32 and 40, and the hot water figures are 2.695, 3.314 and 4.150, all at a gross calorific value of 38.7 MJ/m3.
- Ideal also quotes a specific rate for these combis, which is a separate test figure: check which of the two a merchant listing is showing before comparing it against another brand.
- Warranty is 10 years parts and labour as standard when the boiler is registered within 30 days, and 12 years through a Max Accredited installer. There is no heat-only Vogue Max.
Where the data plate is
Ideal prints the GC number on the data plate and calls it the Benchmark number in the manual, so the two are the same figure.
Reading the plate
Worth knowing on site
- Top of Ideal's domestic line-up on features and warranty.
- The system Vogue Max suits homes with 3+ bathrooms and high hot-water demand.
On the tools
As Ideal's top domestic tier, the Vogue Max is the range engineers bring up when a customer has three or more bathrooms and wants headroom on hot-water demand. Because it sits above Logic and Logic Max on features and warranty, it is often the upsell conversation on larger jobs.
Variants and configuration
The system Vogue Max in particular is aimed at larger homes with high simultaneous hot-water demand, distinguishing it from the combi option lower down. Confirm which variant is fitted and its output from the data plate, since the two formats suit quite different property types.
Where it sits in the range
The Vogue Max sits at the top of Ideal's domestic line-up, above both the Logic and Logic Max. It plays the same role in Ideal's range that Worcester Bosch's 8000 or Vaillant's ecoTEC exclusive play for their brands: the flagship for larger, busier households.
Finding the manual and the data plate
For the exact outputs, gas rate, dimensions and commissioning figures, work from the appliance’s data plate and the manufacturer’s installation and servicing instructions. The GC (Gas Council) number and serial are on the data plate, usually behind the front panel or on the underside. Ideal Heatingpublishes its manuals and support at Ideal Heating support.
