“I saved 20% on my purchase compared to other retailers. Exceptional service!” – Jane D.
The VIT-Smooth 500mm 1 Part Adjustable Pipe (usable length 400mm) is designed for seamless integration into your existing flue or chimney system. Constructed from high-quality zero carbon steel, it features a durable powder vitreous enamel coating with a sleek matt black finish. This pipe suits gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances with temperatures up to 600°C, making it highly versatile.
However, it should not be used to pass through ceilings or combustible walls. Installation is a breeze with its friction fit joints, requiring no sealants, although you can use a jointing compound for extra security. Always ensure the smaller diameter points downwards to prevent any condensate leakage and preserve the pipe’s appearance.
The VIT-Smooth pipe can be cut to size, but exposed steel must be sealed with high-temperature paint to prevent rusting. Regular maintenance, especially for solid fuel appliances, will keep your chimney in top condition. Incorporating a VIT-Smooth pipe with access doors at directional changes simplifies cleaning and inspection.

Installation
Friction-fit joints, no sealants required
Installation of the VIT-Smooth Adjustable Pipe is straightforward yet requires attention to critical details. Ensure that the pipe is fitted with the smaller diameter end positioned downwards, which helps prevent any condensate leakage. While the friction-fit joints are engineered to be secure without sealants, using a jointing compound such as high-temperature fire cement can add an extra layer of assurance. It must be noted that the pipe is not suitable for passing through ceilings or combustible walls. If cutting to size is required, any newly exposed steel must be immediately sealed with a high-temperature protective paint to prevent corrosion. Always adhere to relevant safety standards and wear appropriate personal protective equipment during installation.

Comprehensive Buyers Guide for the VIT-Smooth 500mm 1 Part Adjustable Pipe
The VIT-Smooth Adjustable Pipe by National Flues is an essential component for anyone looking to connect their appliance efficiently and safely to an existing flue system. In this guide, we will explore every aspect of this high-performance pipe, helping you understand its benefits, installation requirements, and the potential accessories that can further enhance your system.
Overview
The VIT-Smooth 500mm 1 Part Adjustable Pipe is engineered from high-quality zero carbon steel and finished with a robust powder enamel coating. This combination results in a product that is not only durable but also aesthetically pleasing with its matt black finish. Suitable for gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances, this pipe is built to handle high temperatures up to 600°C, ensuring safe performance even under rigorous conditions. The adjustable nature of the pipe means that it can be customised to fit your specific installation requirements – a crucial feature that guarantees a snug, secure fit within any flue or chimney setup.
Key Features and Their Benefits
Durability: Crafted from zero carbon steel, the VIT-Smooth pipe is designed to last, providing a reliable solution for your flue system over many years.
Safety: Approved under EN1856-2, this pipe meets strict safety standards, making it a safe choice for residential and commercial installations alike.
Ease of Installation: With friction-fit joints, installation is simplified. Even if you opt to use a sealing compound like fire cement for extra security, the design minimizes the need for additional materials.
Customisation: The pipe’s adjustable length ensures it can be tailored to the specific dimensions of your flue system. Should you need to cut it to size, just make sure to seal exposed edges with high-temperature paint to prevent rust.
Installation and Maintenance Advice
Installation: When installing the VIT-Smooth Adjustable Pipe, start by ensuring that the smaller diameter end is pointed downwards. This prevents condensate from accumulating and causing damage over time. Avoid running the pipe through ceilings or combustible walls to preserve safety standards. The friction-fit joints are designed to stay securely in place, reducing the need for excessive use of sealants. However, if you are working in an environment where extra security is needed, consider applying a specialized jointing compound.
Maintenance: Regular inspection and maintenance of your flue system are imperative, particularly if you are using the pipe with solid fuel appliances that produce soot and debris. Clean the pipe annually to avoid build-up that could affect performance. When cutting the pipe, ensure any newly exposed steel is promptly sealed with high-temperature paint to avoid rust and prolong the pipe’s lifespan.
Addressing Common Concerns
What if the pipe needs to be adjusted further?
The adjustable design allows you to cut the pipe to the required length. Should you ever need to modify it, be sure to reseal all cut edges to maintain protection against the elements.
Is the installation process complicated?
Not at all. The VIT-Smooth pipe is designed with ease of installation in mind. Even if you are relatively inexperienced, the friction-fit joints mean that the process is both straightforward and secure. Detailed installation instructions are provided, and if needed, further guidance is available from our support team.
Will additional accessories be required?
Depending on your specific installation setup, you may need additional accessories such as clamps, jointing compounds, or access doors for cleaning and inspection. These optional accessories are available separately and can be easily found by searching our website. They are designed to complement the VIT-Smooth pipe and further enhance the safety and efficiency of your flue system.
Optional Accessories
For those looking to optimise their flue system further, it is worth considering additional accessories. For example, if your installation requires more sustainable sealing or if reinforcement is needed due to complex directional changes, our range of clamps and fire-resistant jointing compounds can provide the extra security you require. These accessories are designed to work in harmony with the VIT-Smooth pipe, ensuring that your installation is both seamless and robust.
