The VIT-Smooth Adaptor (175mm diameter), ideal for connecting traditional flue pipes to modern VIT-Smooth systems, ensures your appliance functions efficiently and safely. Constructed from zero-carbon powder-coated steel with a matte black vitreous enamel finish, it's suitable for gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances operating at temperatures up to 600°C. This adaptor should only be used as a connecting pipe between appliances, flue liners, chimney stacks, or twin wall flue systems.
Notably, it's designed to maintain the integrity of your flue system by ensuring all condensates remain inside. To extend its lifespan and ensure consistent performance, high-temperature paint should cover any exposed steel post-cutting.

Key Features and Benefits
- Robust Construction: The zero-carbon steel and powder enamel finish provide maximum resilience against heat and corrosion. This translates to fewer repairs and less downtime for your heating system.
- Optimal Design: With a carefully engineered design that ensures all condensates remain inside the flue, this adaptor helps to maintain the integrity of your overall system and improves safety by preventing heat loss.

Material and Durability
The choice of materials is critical in flue system components. National Flues has selected zero-carbon steel for its superior strength and durability, ensuring the adaptor can handle the rigours of high-temperature operations. The powder enamel finish not only enhances the visual appeal with a sleek matte black appearance but also adds an extra layer of protection against environmental factors such as moisture and combustion by-products. This robust construction translates into a longer lifespan and a more reliable performance, saving you time and money over the long term.
Installation Guidelines and Safety Considerations
Installation is straightforward but requires careful attention to detail. The installation process should ensure that the smaller diameter faces downwards, so that all condensates are effectively contained within the system. It is imperative that no component is installed closer than 375mm to any combustible material, safeguarding your property against potential fire hazards. If any alterations or cutting of the adaptor are required, ensure that all exposed steel surfaces are promptly covered with a high-temperature paint to prevent corrosion. Additionally, using fire cement or high-temperature silicone sealant can help create a more secure connection, reducing the risk of leaks.
Safety is paramount. When working with flue systems, always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and safety goggles. Regular inspections and maintenance are recommended to keep your flue system performing optimally, particularly if you are utilising the adaptor in a solid fuel appliance setup.
Accessories and Additional Options
While this adaptor is designed to operate as a standalone component, National Flues offers a range of optional accessories that can further enhance the performance and longevity of your flue system. Accessories such as high-temperature paint, additional sealing materials, and inspection tools are available for those looking to maximise the potential of their installation. These accessories can be easily integrated into your existing system, providing improved safety and performance over time.
Maintaining Your Flue System
Proper maintenance of your flue system is essential to ensure long-term efficiency and safety. Regular cleaning, inspection, and servicing are recommended, especially if you are using solid fuel appliances that demand more frequent attention. The VIT-Smooth Adaptor is designed for easy inspection and cleaning, meaning you can quickly identify and address any issues before they escalate into serious problems. This proactive maintenance approach minimises downtime and prolongs the overall life of your flue components.

Price Considerations: While the upfront cost may be a minor consideration, the durability and long-term performance of the VIT-Smooth Adaptor justify the investment. When factoring in the reduced need for repairs and the enhanced safety features, this is a cost-effective choice over cheaper alternatives.

With the additional option of sealing solutions for extra security, even those unfamiliar with flue system installations will find it manageable.
