VIT-Smooth GLOSS - 500mm Pipe with Door - Ø 150mm

The VIT-Smooth GLOSS 500mm Pipe with Door is an essential flue pipe, designed with precision for use with gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances operating up to 600°. This high-quality connecting pipe, finished in a sleek gloss black powder-coated vitreous enamel, ensures both functionality and aesthetics. VIT-Smooth pipes act as a reliable link between your appliance and the flue liner, chimney stack, or twin wall flue system, but are not suitable for passing through ceilings or combustible walls.Constructed from zero carbon steel, the VIT-Smooth pipe measures Ø 150mm and features a friction-fit joint that typically requires no sealing. However, for absolute security, joints can be sealed with fire cement or high-temperature silicone sealant to prevent any condensate escape.Attention to detail in installation is crucial: ensure a minimum distance of 375mm from combustible materials and install with the smaller diameter pointing downward to keep condensates inside the flue system. The built-in access door facilitates easy sweeping and maintenance, crucial for solid fuel applications. Always use PPE during installation, and if the pipe is cut, cover any exposed steel with high-temperature paint to avoid rusting.Routine maintenance is vital for optimal performance, particularly with solid fuel appliances. It is recommended to sweep chimneys at least once a year.
