The Screw-FIX Long Tail Adaptor - Ø 80, constructed from 0.6mm thick 316 stainless steel, serves as a secure transitional joint connecting rigid single wall flue systems to MI-FLEX 316 and 904 flexible flue liners. Perfect for multi-fuel applications, this adaptor is designed to withstand temperatures up to 600°C, making it suitable for use with wood (under 20% moisture), smokeless coal, gas, and oil-fueled appliances. Complying with Building Regulations Document J, our adaptor ensures your flue system remains fully enclosed within masonry chimneys, preventing any exposure of the flexible liner.
To achieve a gas-tight seal, it should be securely fixed using fire cement, ceramic rope, or high-temperature sealants.

For solid fuel applications, a list of certified HETAS registered chimney sweeps can be found at www.hetas.co.uk.
Ensure your flue system stays in top condition by cleaning it at least twice a year: once at the end of the heating season to clear any deposits and once at the start of the new season to check for blockages.

Installation Guidelines
Installing the adaptor is a straightforward process, but proper care must be taken to ensure it is done correctly:
1. Full Enclosure: The adaptor must be installed completely within a masonry chimney to comply with safety standards.
