VIT-Smooth - 1000mm Pipe - Ø 175mm

The VIT-Smooth 1000mm Pipe - Ø 175mm is the ideal solution for connecting your appliance to a flue liner, chimney stack, or twin wall flue system. This rigid pipe, expertly crafted from zero-carbon steel and finished with a durable powder vitreous enamel coating in sleek matte black, is engineered to handle temperatures up to 600°C. Please note, it’s designed for use only as a connecting pipe and should not pass through ceilings or combustible walls.**Application:** Suitable for gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances, the VIT-Smooth efficiently directs exhaust and combustion gases away from your living space. Its single-skin construction ensures robust performance and longevity.**Installation:** For optimal safety, install VIT-Smooth no less than 375mm from combustible materials. Position the pipe correctly with the smaller diameter pointing downward to keep condensates inside the flue system. This pipe's friction fit joints mean no sealing is necessary, though jointing compounds like fire cement or high-temperature silicone sealant can be used for added security. When cutting the pipe, cover any exposed steel with high-temperature paint to prevent rust.**Maintenance:** Regular maintenance is vital, particularly for solid fuel appliances. Installing an access door in VIT-Smooth pipes at directional changes can facilitate easy inspection and cleaning. It’s recommended to sweep chimneys serving solid fuel appliances at least once a year.
