Key Features and Benefits

Durable Construction: Crafted from Zero Carbon Steel, the VIT-Smooth pipe is built to last, offering exceptional strength and resistance to temperature variations. This ensures reliability and longevity, saving you on future maintenance costs.

Elegant Aesthetics: The matte black powder enamel finish provides a modern, stylish appearance that complements any flue system. Beyond looks, this coating serves as a protective barrier against corrosion and wear, ensuring the pipe remains in prime condition for years.

Easy Installation: The friction fit joints are engineered for a quick and hassle-free installation. This design removes the need for additional sealants while still providing a strong, secure fit, and significantly reducing the installation time.

Versatile Application: Ideal for gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances, this pipe is designed to cater to a range of heating requirements. It is particularly advantageous when connecting appliances that operate at high temperatures, where safety and efficiency are paramount.

Installation Guidelines

Installing the VIT-Smooth connecting pipe is straightforward provided you adhere to key guidelines:

- Maintain Clearance: Always preserve a minimum distance of 375mm from combustible materials to reduce the risk of fire hazards.
- Correct Orientation: Ensure that the smaller diameter faces downward to facilitate the flow of condensates, preventing blockages and potential damage.
- Optional Sealing: While the friction fit design does not require sealants, you may opt to secure the joints with fire cement or high-temperature silicone for an added level of security.
- Avoid Hazardous Routes: Do not run the pipe through ceilings or combustible walls. This is crucial to avoid compromising the safety features of your installation.

Safety and Maintenance

Regular maintenance is vital to ensure your heating system operates safely and efficiently. For solid fuel appliances, it is recommended to carry out an annual sweep or cleaning of the chimney. Periodic inspections of the connecting pipe can help detect any signs of wear or damage early, allowing for prompt repairs. The robust material used in manufacturing minimizes the need for frequent maintenance, but keeping the system clean and ensuring that access doors at directional changes are free from obstructions will enhance overall performance.
