Overview of the Product

This connecting pipe is crafted from zero carbon steel and features a sleek gloss black powder vitreous enamel finish that not only enhances its visual appeal but also provides excellent resistance to high temperatures up to 600°C.

Notably, the design allows for a friction fit connection that can be further secured using high-temperature silicone sealant or fire cement should additional assurance be desired.

Key Features and Their Benefits

- Robust Construction: The use of zero carbon steel guarantees an enduring performance even in high-temperature environments, ensuring that your system remains safe and efficient over time.
- Sleek Aesthetic: The gloss black finish contributes a modern look to your installation, making it not just a functional component but also an element that adds to the overall design appeal.
- Versatility: Suitable for gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances, this pipe offers unmatched flexibility for various heating system configurations.
- Easy Installation: The friction fit joints simplify the assembly process, eliminating the need for complex fittings while maintaining a secure connection. For those who prefer extra security, the option to apply fire cement or high-temperature silicone sealant is available.

Installation Best Practices

Correct installation is critical to the performance of your connecting pipe. It is important to remember that the pipe should be used solely as a connecting pipe and must not pass through ceilings or combustible walls. During installation, always ensure that the smaller diameter end of the pipe is positioned downwards. This orientation is essential to prevent condensate build-up, thereby promoting efficient venting and reducing the risks of corrosion. Additionally, if the pipe is cut to a custom length, any exposed steel must be treated with high-temperature paint immediately to prevent rust. Regular chimney sweeping and thorough system inspections are essential, particularly for installations using solid fuel, to maintain both safety and performance.

Addressing Common Concerns

Durability: One of the primary concerns when choosing a connecting pipe is its ability to withstand high temperatures and prolonged use. The VIT-Smooth GLOSS is designed specifically for this purpose, thanks to its zero carbon steel construction and heat-resistant finish.

Ease of Use: The friction fit joints mean that you can achieve a secure connection without the complications often associated with traditional pipelines. This design significantly reduces installation time and potential for error. Should you require enhanced security, high-temperature silicone sealant or fire cement can be easily applied.

Safety Considerations: The design of the VIT-Smooth GLOSS pipe emphasises safety. By ensuring that the pipe is used correctly – not passing through ceilings or combustible partitions and maintaining a correct installation orientation – the risks of overheating or improper venting are minimised. This product is a reliable choice for anyone looking to improve the safety of their heating system.
