The VIT-Smooth GLOSS 90° Elbow - Ø 125mm is a premium connecting flue pipe perfect for gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances operating at temperatures up to 600°C. This single-skin flue component, constructed from zero carbon steel and finished with a durable powder vitreous enamel in gloss black, ensures both functionality and aesthetic appeal. Only to be used as a connecting pipe between your appliance and Flue Liner/Chimney Stack/Twin Wall Flue System, the VIT-Smooth GLOSS must not pass through combustible materials.
Installation requires proper alignment (smaller diameter pointing downward) and maintaining a distance of 375mm from combustible materials. For a secure joint, fire cement or high temperature silicone sealant can be applied, though it's not necessary due to the friction fit design. Make sure to cover any cut edges with high-temp paint to prevent rust.
Regular maintenance, including chimney sweeping, especially for solid fuel applications, is advised. The elbow design simplifies cleaning and inspection access at directional changes.

Installation Considerations
Proper installation is critical to ensure both the performance and safety of your flue system. Here are some important points to consider during installation:
- Orientation: Always install the elbow with the smaller diameter pointing downward to keep condensates within the system, protecting both the appliance and the flue.
- Distance from Combustibles: Ensure that the elbow is installed with a minimum clearance of 375mm from any combustible materials. This is a crucial safety requirement to prevent potential fire hazards.
- Secure Connections: Although the friction-fit design typically provides a secure connection, consider using high-temperature sealants like fire cement or silicone sealant for enhanced security, especially in challenging installations.
