The MI-VIT Lite 500mm Pipe - Ø 175 is an essential component for connecting your heating appliances to your flue system. Designed for use with gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances, this pipe can handle temperatures up to 600 degrees C. Made from zero carbon steel with a sleek matt black vitreous enamel coating, it's built for both durability and style.
The MI-VIT Lite is specifically designed as a connecting pipe and should not be used to pass through combustible materials like ceilings or walls. Its single skin construction ensures a friction fit joint, making installation straightforward without needing additional seals for high-temperature applications. For pellet installations with positive pressure, seals must be applied to each joint.
The pipe is also cuttable, but remember to cover exposed steel with high-temperature paint to prevent rusting. Regular inspection and cleaning are recommended, especially for solid fuel applications, to ensure optimal performance and safety.

MI-VIT Lite 500mm Pipe - Ø175 Buyers Guide
When it comes to safely and efficiently connecting your heating appliance to your flue system, the MI-VIT Lite 500mm Pipe stands as a beacon of quality and reliability. This guide covers everything you need to know about this product, including its features, installation process, maintenance, and optional accessories that can further enhance your setup.
Key Features and What They Mean for You
- Durability: Constructed from zero carbon steel, this pipe is designed to withstand even the most rigorous applications. Its robust build ensures longevity and stable performance over time.
- Heat Resistance: With the capacity to handle temperatures up to 600°C, the MI-VIT Lite Pipe is perfectly suited for high-heat scenarios, ensuring that your system operates safely regardless of the fuel type used.
- Sleek Finish and Corrosion Protection: The matt black powder enamel coating not only offers an aesthetically pleasing appearance, but it also safeguards the pipe against rust and environmental degradation. This means fewer worries about maintenance and more confidence in your installation.
- Easy Installation: The friction fit joint design simplifies the installation process, making it a smart choice for both professional installers and DIY enthusiasts. Fewer components and no need for extra seals (except in pellet installations) streamline the assembly process.
- Certified Safety Standards: Compliance with EN1856-2 T600 N1 Vm L8010 G540 standards ensures that the pipe meets the necessary safety and performance criteria, giving you peace of mind about its reliability.
Installation Best Practices
Proper installation is paramount for safety and efficiency. Here are some best practices for installing the MI-VIT Lite Pipe:
1. Positioning: Place the pipe with the smaller diameter oriented downwards. This design aids in keeping condensate within the flue system and prevents water accumulation.
2. Clearances: Maintain a minimum distance of 540mm from combustible materials such as wooden beams or plasterboard. This clearance ensures that heat is safely dissipated and reduces the risk of fire hazards.
3. Sealing: While the friction fit joint is sufficient for standard high-temperature (T600) installations, remember that for pellet installations where positive pressure (P1) is present, seals must be applied to each joint to prevent leaks.
4. Customization: If you need to adjust the length of the pipe, it can be cut to size. However, it is crucial to cover any freshly cut or exposed steel with high-temperature paint. This will protect against oxidation and rusting, ensuring your installation lasts longer.
Maintenance and Inspection
Regular maintenance is key to keeping your heating system operating safely and efficiently. For the MI-VIT Lite Pipe, consider the following routine checks:
- Visual Inspections: Regularly examine the pipe for any signs of wear, discoloration, or coating damage. Early detection of issues can prevent costly repairs down the line.
- Cleaning: Especially for solid fuel applications, periodic cleaning is advised to remove soot and other residues that might accumulate and affect performance.
- Accessory Checks: If you have installed additional accessories such as seals or high-temperature paint, inspect these components to ensure they remain intact and effective.
Optional Accessories for Enhanced Performance
While the MI-VIT Lite Pipe is a robust solution on its own, there are several optional accessories available that you might consider to further optimise your installation:
- High-Temperature Seals: Essential for pellet installations, these seals help to maintain pressure and ensure that the joints remain airtight.
- Condensate Drip Trays and Access Doors: These accessories facilitate easier cleaning and maintenance, especially in installations with multiple directional changes.
- Flue System Insulation Kits: To maintain the efficiency of your flue system, insulation kits can be used in conjunction with the MI-VIT Lite Pipe. These kits help in retaining heat and minimising energy loss.
- Protective Coatings: In environments where corrosion might be an issue, additional high-temperature coatings can further protect the integrity of the pipe.
When considering these accessories, always ensure they are compatible with the MI-VIT Lite Pipe and adhere to the same safety standards. Check with your supplier for the latest accessory options to complement your specific installation demands.

Cost Concerns: Investing in quality materials like the MI-VIT Lite Pipe can seem more expensive initially, but the long-term durability and reduced maintenance costs justify the expenditure. Quality installations contribute to overall system safety and efficiency.
