Spare door 5"
Designed for use with gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances with temperatures up to 600°, VIT-Smooth pipe is an ideal connecting pipe for your appliance and Flue Liner / Chimney Stack / Twin Wall Flue System.
VIT-Smooth pipe should NOT be used to pass through ceilings or combustible walls.°
CONSTRUCTION
The VIT-Smooth single skin connecting flue system is crafted from zero carbon steel and coated with Powder vitreous enamel in a matt black finish for superior protection.
INSTALLATION
You should not install a piece of VIT-Smooth 100mm within 375mm from combustible material, e.g. wood, plaster boards, etc.
When installing make sure VIT-Smooth is installed the correct way up - the smaller diameter should always be pointing downward.
This is because all the condensates will stay within the flue system and not pass to the outside of the VIT-Smooth.
VIT-Smooth is a friction fit joint so does not require sealing of the joints, For extra security if desired each joint could be coated with a jointing compound (fire cement or high temperature silicone sealant). This makes sure that no condensate can escape and spoil the appearance of the pipe.
VIT-Smooth has been designed to be cut, but care must be taken to cover any exposed steel with high tempteture paint as this will rust over time.
When installing appropriate PPE should be worn at all times.
MAINTENANCE
To ensure proper maintenance, it is essential to have a VIT-Smooth with access doors at points of direction changes for cleaning and inspection of the chimney. This is especially crucial for solid fuel applications, and it is recommended to sweep and maintain these chimneys at least once a year.
