The MI-VIT Lite Rain Cap, designed for a 125mm flue, is not just an accessory – it is an investment in the safety and longevity of your heating system.

Product Overview

The MI-VIT Lite Rain Cap is expertly engineered using zero-carbon steel, accompanied by a robust powder enamel coating in a stylish matte black finish. Designed to withstand operational temperatures of up to 600°C, it is compatible with gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances.

Key Benefits

- Enhanced Safety: With an operational temperature tolerance of up to 600°C, the MI-VIT Lite Rain Cap provides robust protection in both high and variable temperature environments.
- Ease of Installation: The design features a friction fit joint, making installation straightforward. This minimizes potential errors during setting up and eliminates the need for additional sealing in standard installations.
- Low Maintenance: Regular checks and simple cleaning routines keep the chimney functioning at its best, particularly important for systems that handle solid fuel appliances.

Installation Guidance

Installing the MI-VIT Lite Rain Cap is a task that can be easily managed with a little attention to detail. Start by ensuring that the cap is correctly oriented, with the smaller diameter facing downward. This design is intended to enable the proper flow of condensate, minimising any risk of liquid build-up that could affect performance. For installations where positive pressure is present (such as Pellet systems), make sure to use seals at every joint as a precautionary measure.

It is important to note that the MI-VIT Lite Rain Cap should never be used to pass through ceilings or combustible walls. Such misuse can compromise the integrity of the chimney system and lead to safety hazards. We recommend consulting a professional for installations involving complex configurations or where additional clarifications are needed.

Addressing Common Concerns

Many customers ask whether this rain cap is suitable for all types of fuel appliances. The answer is a resounding yes. Designed and approved to handle operational temperatures up to 600°C, the MI-VIT Lite Rain Cap is ideal for gas, oil, and solid fuel systems alike. Concerns about installation complexity are addressed by its intuitive friction fit design, which simplifies the process and reduces the dependency on extensive sealing, except in cases requiring extra precaution such as positive pressure installations.

Additionally, its resistance to the elements means that the need for frequent replacements is greatly reduced, offering long-term savings. For those worried about the aesthetic mismatch with their existing chimney system, the sophisticated matte black finish adds a modern yet timeless touch, elevating the look of any chimney setup.
