The VIT-Smooth 90° Tee and Cap M/F - Ø 175mm is an essential component for ensuring efficient and safe connection between your appliance and flue system. Suitable for gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances with temperatures up to 600°C, this connecting pipe boasts practicality and durability. Manufactured from zero carbon steel and coated with a matt black powder vitreous enamel, it ensures long-lasting performance and a sleek finish.

Comprehensive Buyers Guide for the VIT-Smooth 90° Tee and Cap M/F - Ø 175mm
The VIT-Smooth 90° Tee and Cap M/F - Ø 175mm from National Flues is a top-tier flue connection component that offers both function and style. In this guide, we will break down the essential features, benefits, and installation tips you need to know, and answer common questions to help you make the best decision for your flue system.
Overview
What is the VIT-Smooth?
This component has been crafted to serve as the critical connecting link between your appliance and flue system. Whether you are installing or upgrading a system for gas, oil, or solid fuel, the VIT-Smooth provides a secure and efficient connection designed to handle harsh temperatures up to 600°C. Its robust construction from zero carbon steel, combined with a matt black powder vitreous enamel finish, ensures that the pipe not only performs reliably but also complements the aesthetic of modern installations.
Key Features and Benefits
- High-Temperature Resistance: The VIT-Smooth is engineered to manage temperatures reaching 600°C, assuring you of safe performance even when your appliance is under heavy use.
- Durability Through Design: Made from zero carbon steel, this flue connector offers exceptional durability, reducing the need for frequent replacements and ensuring long-term reliability.
- Elegant Aesthetic: The matt black veneer provides a sleek, modern finish that meets contemporary tastes and enhances the overall look of your installation.
- Ease of Installation: Featuring friction fit joints that require no additional sealing (though a high-temperature sealant can be used for extra security), the VIT-Smooth greatly simplifies the installation process.
- Customisable Length: The pipe can be precisely trimmed to fit your specific requirements, allowing for a perfect adaptation to your space.
Installation Guidelines
Installing the VIT-Smooth is straightforward for professionals and experienced DIY enthusiasts. The key installation instructions include:
1. Correct Positioning: Ensure the smaller diameter end points downward. This configuration is crucial for proper condensate drainage within the flue system, thereby preventing build-ups and potential blockages.
2. Secure Connection: The friction fit mechanism ensures a strong, secure joint without the need for additional adhesives. However, for additional protection, you might want to opt for fire cement or high-temperature silicone sealant.
3. Trimming and Finishing: As the pipe might need to be cut to suit your specific installation, always treat any freshly cut edges with high-temperature paint. This will protect the exposed steel from corrosion and extend the life of your component.
4. Clearance Maintenance: Maintain a clearance of at least 375mm from any combustible materials. This precaution safeguards your installation from accidental fire hazards.
Maintenance and Safety
A well-maintained flue system is essential for both safety and efficiency. Regular chimney inspections, cleaning routines, and the occasional maintenance check go a long way in ensuring reliable operation. Additionally, consider supplementing your installation with optional accessories such as:
- Flue Liner Accessories: Designed to complement the VIT-Smooth, these accessories ensure your flue is sealed and insulated.
- Access Doors: For easy access during cleaning and inspections, making maintenance a hassle-free process.
- High-Temperature Paint and Sealants: Essential for treating any exposed areas, preventing rust, and enhancing the durability of your installation.
Understanding Optional Accessories
While the VIT-Smooth stands out on its own, combining it with other accessories can further enhance the performance and safety of your flue system. Accessories such as chimney stacks, twin wall flue systems, fire cements, and sealants are available to customise and secure your setup. These additional products are designed to synergise perfectly with the VIT-Smooth, ensuring a seamlessly integrated system that meets all your heating appliance requirements. We highly recommend exploring these accessories for a tailored, high-performance solution.
Addressing Common Concerns
Q: Can the VIT-Smooth be used for passing through combustible walls or ceilings?
A: No, it is intended solely for connecting your appliance to a flue liner, chimney stack, or twin wall flue system. Always adhere to safety guidelines regarding placement near combustible materials.
Q: Is sealing required on the friction fit joints?
A: The friction fit design means that additional sealing is not necessary. However, for those looking for extra peace of mind, a high-temperature sealant can be applied.
Q: How can I ensure the best performance of my flue system?
A: Regular maintenance is key. Combined with optional accessories such as flue liners, access doors, and appropriate high-temperature treatments, you can ensure optimal safety and performance.
