Comprehensive Buyers Guide for the VIT-Smooth 1000mm Pipe - Ø 175mm
When it comes to choosing a reliable connecting pipe for your flue system, the VIT-Smooth 1000mm Pipe - Ø 175mm from National Flues stands out for its exceptional quality, robust construction, and long-lasting performance. In this detailed buyers guide, we will walk you through the key aspects of this product, address common queries, and explain why this pipe is the ideal choice for gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances.
Product Overview
The VIT-Smooth pipe is designed specifically to link appliances to flue liners, chimney stacks, or twin wall flue systems securely and efficiently. Made from zero-carbon steel, it offers both durability and an eco-friendly appeal. The powder vitreous enamel coating not only provides a modern matte black finish but also acts as a protective layer, resisting both wear and the harsh conditions associated with high temperatures up to 600°C.
Why Quality Matters
Investing in a high-quality connecting pipe is paramount to ensuring safety and longevity in your venting system. Highlights of the VIT-Smooth pipe include:
• A robust construction made from sustainable zero-carbon steel that guarantees a long service life
• An impressive ability to operate safely under intense heat, which is crucial for appliances that produce high temperature exhaust
• A friction fit joint design that simplifies installation, ensuring a snug and secure assembly without the need for complex sealing methods
These features work together to provide you with a product that not only meets industry standards but also exceeds them by offering superior performance and ease of maintenance.
Installation Best Practices
When installing the VIT-Smooth pipe, there are several best practices to bear in mind:
1. Maintain Proper Clearance: Always install the pipe with a minimum clearance of 375mm from combustibles. This precaution is essential to minimise fire risks and ensure the longevity of your installation.
2. Correct Orientation: Ensure the pipe's smaller diameter end is positioned downward. This orientation helps in managing condensate build-up inside the flue, thereby preventing any moisture-related issues.
3. Secure Jointing: Although the friction fit joints are reliable on their own, adding a jointing compound like high-temperature silicone sealant or fire cement can enhance the security of the connection where necessary.
4. After-Cut Protection: Once the pipe is cut to the desired length, promptly cover any exposed steel with high-temperature paint. This step is crucial in protecting the metal from rust and corrosion over time.
Safety and Maintenance
Safety is a critical consideration in any installation involving flue systems. The VIT-Smooth pipe has been thoroughly engineered to ensure maximum safety when used correctly. In addition to adhering to proper installation techniques, regular maintenance is key to sustaining the pipe's performance. For example, if your system services a solid fuel appliance, it is advisable to install an access door at any directional changes. This design feature facilitates easy cleaning and inspection, ensuring that any build-up of soot or debris does not compromise the system's efficiency.
Addressing Common Concerns
Objection: "Can I use this pipe with any appliance?"
Certainly. The VIT-Smooth pipe is designed to be versatile, accommodating gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances. Its robust construction means it can handle the demanding conditions associated with each type of appliance effectively.
Objection: "Is additional sealing necessary?"
While the friction fit joints eliminate the immediate need for sealing, some users may prefer the added security of using a jointing compound. This is entirely optional and depends on your personal preference and the specific requirements of your installation.
Objection: "What if I need to cut the pipe to size?"
The installation instructions clearly state that any exposed steel after cutting should be covered with high-temperature paint. This precaution prevents corrosion and extends the overall lifespan of the pipe.
Objection: "How do I ensure that the installation is safe?"
Following the recommended installation guidelines—maintaining the correct distance from combustibles and ensuring proper orientation—will help secure a safe installation. For systems that may face more demanding environments, the option of using additional sealing measures offers extra peace of mind.
