Screw-FIX Register Plate Adaptor - Ø 125

Introduction

The Screw-FIX Register Plate Adaptor - Ø125mm is an essential component for professionals and homeowners looking to upgrade their chimney systems. It is designed to provide a secure, gas-tight transition between your connecting flue pipe and MI-FLEX flexible flue liners, ensuring reliability and safety in operation. In this detailed guide, we will walk you through its features, benefits, installation process, and why this product is ideal for a wide range of multi-fuel appliances.

Key Features and Benefits

Robust Construction: Built to withstand high temperatures of up to 600°C, this adaptor offers the durability needed for demanding heating systems. The robust design is ideal for wood (with less than 20% moisture), smokeless coal, gas, and oil applications.

Seamless Transition: The long tail single wall connection ensures that the adapter fits perfectly into the connecting flue pipe, providing a smooth transition between components. This minimizes any risk of exposed flexible liners and enhances overall system performance.

Compliance with Building Regulations: Designed to meet the stringent requirements of Building Regulations Document J, the adaptor guarantees that your flexible liner remains completely enclosed within a masonry chimney. This is crucial for ensuring safety and efficiency in your heating system.

Optional Accessories: To achieve a truly gas-tight seal, it is recommended to use additional sealing materials. Options such as fire cement, ceramic rope, and high-temperature sealant are available and can be explored to enhance the installation further. These optional accessories ensure a reliable connection and optimal performance.

Installation Process

Preparation: Before beginning the installation, ensure that you have all necessary components and tools. Take a moment to review any optional accessories that might complement the adaptor, such as sealing materials which are essential for creating the gas-tight seal.

Step-by-Step Guide:
- Step 1: Position the adaptor directly beneath the register plate at the base of your chimney. Confirm that all measurements are accurate, ensuring a perfect fit within the operational standards.
- Step 2: Align the long tail connection carefully with the connecting flue pipe. The design facilitates a strong bond between the chimney components, reducing the risk of leaks.
- Step 3: Apply a generous amount of your chosen sealing material around the adaptor’s installation site. Whether you opt for fire cement, ceramic rope, or high-temperature sealant, ensure the application is even and thorough to eliminate any potential gaps.
- Step 4: Confirm that the entire assembly complies with Building Regulations Document J. This step is crucial to ensure safety, particularly in systems that serve multi-fuel appliances.
