Optional Accessories to Complement Your System
To optimise the performance of your chimney system, consider exploring the optional accessories available with your adaptor. These include high-temperature sealants such as fire cement, ceramic rope, and other specialised products designed for chimney installations. These accessories ensure an even more secure fit, providing additional insulation and sealing properties that help maintain the system’s efficiency over time.
Why Choose Optional Sealants?
Using the recommended high-temperature sealants is crucial. They not only provide extra security by reinforcing the join between components but also prevent the ingress of smoke and other combustion by-products. This means a lower risk of damage and longer intervals between maintenance inspections.
Installation and Maintenance
Proper installation is key to the longevity and performance of your adaptor. It is essential to ensure that the installer adheres to all guidelines mentioned in the Building Regulations Document J. The flexible flue liner must be fully enclosed within a masonry chimney for safety and compliance. For best results, the adaptor should be sealed with an approved product, and it is recommended to have your chimney system inspected and cleaned at least twice a year by a HETAS registered professional.
Installation tips include:
- Always check that the adaptor is level and securely fastened.
- Double-check the sealant application to ensure complete coverage of the junctions.
- If installing in a retrofit scenario, confirm that existing structures are compatible with the adaptor's specifications.
Addressing Common Objections
It is natural to have questions when investing in new chimney accessories. Here are some of the most common concerns:
1. What if the adaptor does not fit my existing system?
The Screw-FIX Adaptor is designed to fit MI-FLEX flexible liners in a rigid single wall configuration. Always confirm your equipment specifications and consult with a professional if uncertain.
2. Is the adaptor durable enough for my high-temperature appliance?
Absolutely. The 316 stainless steel construction and high temperature tolerance (up to 600°C) ensure that the component remains robust even under high thermal stress.
3. Will I need additional equipment during installation?
In most cases, you may require supplementary sealants such as fire cement or ceramic rope. These are available as optional accessories and are highly recommended for achieving an optimal seal.
4. How often should my chimney system be maintained?
For safety and efficiency, a routine inspection and cleaning by a certified professional at least twice a year is highly advised. This not only keeps your system safe but also prolongs the overall lifespan of your chimney components.

Investing in the Screw-FIX Adaptor to SW, 1mm - Ø 175 means choosing quality, efficiency, and long-term reliability for your chimney system.
