The Screw-FIX Long Tail Adaptor - Ø 200 is a crucial installation accessory in the MI-FLEX family, specifically engineered for use with MI-FLEX 316 and 904 flexible flue liners. This 0.6mm 316 stainless steel adaptor facilitates a seamless transition from a rigid single wall connecting flue system to a flexible flue liner, ensuring a gas-tight and secure fit. Building Regulations Document J mandates that flexible flue liners must be fully enclosed within a masonry chimney, making the Screw-FIX Long Tail Adaptor essential for compliance and safety.Suitable for use with multi-fuel appliances, this adaptor can handle temperatures up to 600°C, making it ideal for wood (with moisture content less than 20%), smokeless coal, gas, and oil appliances.
The adaptor should be installed completely within the existing masonry chimney, and it is imperative to use fire cement, ceramic rope, tape, or high-temperature sealant to ensure a secure and leak-free connection.Maintenance is straightforward, but it is crucial. Chimney systems should be designed to allow easy sweeping and maintenance access. Solid fuel applications require sweeping by a competent professional, ideally a HETAS registered sweep.
We recommend cleaning and inspecting the chimney at least once a year and sweeping twice a year for solid fuel systems to remove deposits and check for blockages.

Installation Guidelines and Best Practices
Pre-Installation Preparation
Before beginning the installation process, it is crucial to inspect your flue system thoroughly. Ensure that all components are clean and free from any debris or blockages. Examine the masonry chimney to verify that it can fully accommodate the adaptor and the flexible liner. It is recommended to consult a HETAS registered professional to assess the installation requirements, especially if you are dealing with solid fuel systems.
Step-by-Step Installation
1. Positioning: Insert the adaptor within the masonry chimney, ensuring it is perfectly aligned with the rigid flue system and the MI-FLEX liner.
2. Securing the Connection: Using fire cement, ceramic rope, tape, or high-temperature sealant, secure the adaptor to maintain a leak-proof, gas-tight seal. Take extra care to apply the sealing material evenly around the connection points.
3. Inspection and Testing: Once the installation is complete, inspect the connection thoroughly to ensure there are no gaps or potential leak points. A visual inspection alongside a professional test can verify that the system adheres to safety standards.
Post-Installation Maintenance
It is important to schedule regular inspections and cleanings of your flue system to maintain optimal performance. For solid fuel applications, it is advisable to have the chimney swept twice a year by a competent professional. This maintenance routine not only prolongs the lifespan of the installation but also helps prevent any potential hazards associated with deposit build-up.
