Introduction

When it comes to ensuring the safe and efficient expulsion of combustion gases, every component in your flue system plays a vital role. The MI-VIT Lite Adaptor to SW Ø 150mm by National Flues is engineered to provide a secure and robust connection between your appliance and your flue system. Whether you are installing a new system or upgrading an existing one, comprehending what this adaptor offers and how it fits into your overall setup is essential.

Product Overview

The MI-VIT Lite Adaptor is crafted from zero carbon steel and finished with a durable powder enamel coating in an elegant matt black finish. This adaptor is not only built to last but also designed to provide superior performance by withstanding temperatures up to 600°C. Its versatile design makes it compatible with gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances, ensuring that you have a reliable connection to various flue systems, including flue liners, chimney stacks, and twin wall flue systems. The adaptor’s customisable feature—its ability to be cut to fit specific installation requirements—further adds to its appeal.

Key Features and Benefits

- High-Quality Material: The use of zero carbon steel ensures that the adaptor is robust and resistant to wear, guaranteeing long-term performance. This quality is particularly important in high-temperature environments where durability is tested.
- Protective Coating: The powder enamel finish not only enhances the visual appeal with a sleek matt black look but also shields the steel from corrosion and degradation over time. This means fewer maintenance concerns and a sustained aesthetic appeal.
- Versatile Compatibility: Whether you are dealing with gas, oil, or solid fuel systems, the MI-VIT Lite Adaptor is engineered to be adaptable. Its design facilitates seamless connections, reducing installation time and allowing for easy integration with a variety of flue systems.
- Temperature Tolerance: With the ability to handle temperatures up to 600°C, this adaptor meets the rigorous demands of high-temperature applications. This ensures that your flue system remains safe and efficient even under extreme conditions.
- Customisable Fitting: The option to cut the adaptor to fit your specific requirements means that you can achieve a perfect fit for your installation, minimising gaps and ensuring a secure joint. Always remember to cover any cut or exposed metal with high temperature paint to maintain integrity and prevent rust.

Installation Guidelines

Proper installation is paramount to the operation and safety of your flue system. When installing the MI-VIT Lite Adaptor, note the following:

- Directionality: Install the adaptor so that the smaller diameter end is directed downwards. This orientation helps in managing condensation, ensuring it remains within the flue system where it can be safely expelled.
- Sealing Requirements: For installations operating at high temperatures, friction-fit joints provide adequate security without extra sealing. However, in cases where there is positive pressure, seals in all joints are necessary. This is a critical step to prevent any leakage of combustion gases.
- Clearances: Always maintain a minimum clearance of 450mm from combustible materials. This guideline is crucial for overall safety and should be meticulously followed during installation.
- Cutting and Customisation: If the adaptor is trimmed to size, it is important to apply a high temperature paint to any exposed sections. This extra step helps in preventing rust and prolonging the lifespan of the component.

Maintenance and Safety

Regular inspection of your flue system is not only recommended but essential. For solid fuel applications, where particulates and residue can build up, routine chimney sweeping is advised. Inspections should be conducted periodically to verify that there are no obstructions or signs of wear and tear. Maintenance of the adaptor includes checking the joints and ensuring proper sealing in positive pressure setups. This simple routine goes a long way in maintaining efficiency and safety.

Accessorising Your System

While the MI-VIT Lite Adaptor is designed to be a standalone solution for connecting your flue system, it is worthwhile to explore additional accessories that can enhance overall performance and ease of installation. Consider looking into sealing kits, chimney brushes, and high temperature paints that are specifically suited for use with single wall flue systems. These accessories can complement your installation perfectly, adding extra layers of safety and efficiency. For those considering long-term reliability and ease of maintenance, selecting the correct accessories is as important as choosing a quality adaptor.

National Flues also provides a comprehensive range of replacement parts and additional connectors, ensuring that you are fully covered from installation to long-term maintenance. Whether you are planning a new build or retrofitting, these accessories are designed to integrate seamlessly with your current system.
