The Increasing MI-FLEX Adaptor from National Flues is a state-of-the-art solution crafted to meet the evolving demands of modern chimney systems. This expert-designed product bridges the gap between ridged single wall flue systems and MI-FLEX flexible flue liners, ensuring a seamless and efficient connection. Made from 0.6mm 316L stainless steel, it is engineered to withstand temperatures of up to 600°C, offering durability, safety, and excellent performance. In this comprehensive buyer’s guide, we will delve into the features, benefits, installation requirements, and common queries to assist you in making an informed decision.
Features and Benefits
One of the standout features of the Increasing MI-FLEX Adaptor is its robust construction. Crafted from top-grade 316L stainless steel, it presents an exceptional resistance to corrosion and wear. This makes it ideal for a variety of fuels including wood (with less than 20% moisture), oil, gas, and smokeless coal. Its construction ensures longevity and minimal maintenance, providing peace of mind for homeowners and professionals alike.
The adaptor increases the flue diameter from Ø125mm to Ø175mm, a significant 50mm enhancement. This increase is not merely a numerical change but a performance booster. A wider flue improves the efficiency of exhaust gas expulsion, which in turn enhances combustion efficiency. Moreover, this design helps in reducing the risks associated with smoke and soot buildup, ensuring a cleaner and safer operation of your chimney system.
Installation and Maintenance
Proper installation is paramount to experiencing the full benefits of the Increasing MI-FLEX Adaptor. The product must be installed within a masonry chimney to ensure that all components remain protected and that the system maintains structural integrity. Installation should always be performed using appropriate materials such as fire cement, ceramic rope, or high-temperature sealants, which are essential to creating a gas-tight seal. A secure and proper installation guarantees that no flex parts of the connection are exposed, thus maintaining the safety and efficiency of the overall system.
Maintenance is equally important. Regular chimney sweeping – ideally, twice yearly for chimneys serving solid fuel appliances or at least once annually for other fuel types – is recommended. Using the correct tools and methods ensures that the stainless steel remains in pristine condition, thereby prolonging the lifespan of the adaptor. Avoid using chemical cleaners or mild steel tools which could damage the finish.
