What Makes the MI-VIT Lite Increaser Stand Out?

When selecting a connecting pipe for your heating system, quality and durability are crucial. The MI-VIT Lite Increaser distinguishes itself through its robust construction and smart design features:

- Durable Build: Made from single-skin zero carbon steel, this increaser is designed to withstand high temperatures and resist corrosion over time.

- Versatile Compatibility: Suitable for gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances, it is an ideal choice regardless of your heating system type.

Key Advantages and Benefits

Enhanced Safety and Performance

Safety is paramount in any heating system installation. The MI-VIT Lite Increaser is designed to meet stringent safety standards as evidenced by its compliance with EN1856-2 T600 N1 records. The design ensures that the transition in your flue system is smooth, significantly reducing the risks associated with poor airflow and potential overheating.

Robust Construction for Longevity

The use of zero carbon steel means that this increaser offers exceptional durability. The addition of a powder enamel coating further reinforces the structure, protecting against rust and environmental wear. This robust construction guarantees that your heating system will function reliably for years, providing peace of mind and long-term value.

Optimised Airflow for Increased Efficiency

By ensuring a smooth transition between your heating appliance and the flue system, the MI-VIT Lite Increaser optimises the airflow, which is crucial for maintaining efficiency in your heating system. This enhanced airflow guarantees that your appliance operates within its designed parameters, reducing energy waste and improving overall performance.

Installation Guidelines

Installing the MI-VIT Lite Increaser is straightforward; however, adhering to the guidelines is essential for optimal performance and safety. Below are some critical installation points to bear in mind:

- Correct Orientation: Always install the pipe with the smaller diameter pointing downward to ensure that any condensates are contained within the system.
- Combustible Clearance: Ensure that the installation is not within 375mm of combustible materials such as wood or plasterboard.
- Joint Sealing: For T600 installations, friction fit joints do not require additional seals. However, if your system operates on the P1 application (commonly associated with pellet systems), each joint must be sealed properly to maintain safety and efficiency.
- Taking Measurements: If you need to cut the pipe to size, make sure to cover any freshly cut ends with high-temperature paint immediately to prevent rust.

Maintenance and Longevity

Regular maintenance is key to ensuring the longevity of your heating system. It is recommended that you inspect your chimney and flue components at least once a year, especially if using solid fuel appliances. Consider installing access doors at any directional changes along the flue to facilitate easy cleaning and inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Many users often ask:

- What is the best way to secure the MI-VIT Lite Increaser?
- Its friction fit design makes it easy to install without the need for excessive sealing, unless operating under P1 conditions which demand additional joint sealing.

- How often should the flue system be inspected?
- For solid fuel setups, an annual inspection and cleaning is advisable. More frequent checks may be necessary depending on usage.
