The MI-VIT Lite 150mm Rain Cap is an essential component for your flue system, compatible with gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances up to 600°C. Manufactured from zero carbon steel and coated in a durable vitreous enamel with a sleek matt black finish, this rain cap not only looks good but provides excellent durability. Designed to prevent water ingress into your flue, it ensures optimum performance and longevity.
Easy to install with its friction fit joint system, no additional sealing is needed for high-temperature installations. However, for pellet installations where positive pressure is present, seals must be applied at every joint. The MI-VIT Lite system's clever design allows for easy cutting, though it's essential to cover exposed steel with high-temperature paint to prevent rust.
During installation, always maintain a distance of at least 450mm from combustible materials, and wear appropriate PPE. Regular maintenance, including yearly chimney sweeping for solid fuel appliances, is recommended to keep your system in top condition.

MI-VIT Lite Rain Cap Buyers Guide
If you are looking to secure your flue system with a product that doesn't compromise on quality, the MI-VIT Lite Rain Cap is the perfect choice. Designed with precision and built to last, this rain cap offers robust protection against water ingress, ensuring that your flue system performs efficiently throughout its lifetime.
Understanding the Product
The MI-VIT Lite Rain Cap is manufactured using zero carbon steel, which is known for its strength and resilience. The 0.7mm thick material is then treated with a 0.3mm powder enamel coating that not only enhances its aesthetic appeal with a matt black finish but also serves as a vital barrier against rust and corrosion. With its friction fit joint system, this rain cap simplifies installation, drastically reducing the need for additional sealing materials. However, do note that for installations subject to positive pressure, such as pellet systems, it is advisable to utilise optional accessories like high-temperature seals. This will provide an added layer of safety and longevity to your installation.
Key Benefits and Optional Accessories
One of the major benefits of the MI-VIT Lite Rain Cap is its compatibility with a wide range of appliances, including gas, oil, and solid fuel systems which can operate under temperatures up to 600°C. This versatility makes it a valuable addition to any flue system. To achieve optimal performance, consider exploring the optional accessories available. These may include:
- High-Temperature Sealants: Essential for installations where positive pressure exists. They ensure that every joint is secured, thus maintaining the integrity of your flue system.
- High-Temperature Paints: After cutting the rain cap to achieve the desired fit, applying these paints on exposed steel surfaces helps prevent rust, extends the lifespan of the product, and keeps your system looking pristine.
- Additional PPE and Installation Tools: For those who install the system themselves, using the correct tools and protective equipment is critical. Accessories such as gloves, safety goggles, and specialised cutting tools can make the installation process safer and more efficient.
Installation Tips and Considerations
Installing the MI-VIT Lite Rain Cap is straightforward thanks to its friction fit joints. However, adherence to recommended safety guidelines is paramount. During installation, always ensure that the components of your flue system are positioned at least 450mm away from any combustible materials. This precaution is critical to avoid any potential fire hazards. Moreover, the product’s design allows for easy customization – you can cut the cap to size as required. Just remember that once cuts are made, it is imperative to cover the exposed steel with high-temperature paint. This not only enhances the appearance but also provides extra protection against rust and corrosion.

It is important to understand that this product is perfectly suitable for installations involving gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances.
