Whether you are upgrading your home heating system or installing a new appliance, choosing the right components is critical. The VIT-Smooth 1000mm Starter Pipe, with its robust zero carbon steel construction and sleek matt black finish, is designed specifically for gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances. In this guide, we provide detailed insights into the product, address common concerns, and offer practical advice to ensure optimal performance and safety.
Product Overview
The VIT-Smooth Starter Pipe is crafted to meet stringent safety and performance standards. With a length of 1000mm and a diameter of 150mm, it serves as an ideal connecting piece between your appliance and the exhaust system. Engineered to operate at temperatures up to 600°C, it is perfectly suited for modern heating systems where efficiency and durability are paramount. The product’s friction-fit joint design simplifies installation, reducing the need for excessive sealing compounds. Its EN1856-2 approval assures you that it conforms to high industry standards.
Key Features and Their Benefits
- Durable Construction: Made from zero carbon steel, the pipe offers exceptional resilience and longevity, even in high-temperature environments. This translates to fewer replacements and long-term cost savings.
- Heat-Resistant Coating: The powder enamel finish not only gives the pipe a modern, sleek look but also protects it from heat and corrosion. This ensures low maintenance and sustained performance over time.
- User-Friendly Installation: With friction-fit joints, the pipe is straightforward to install. Whether you are a DIY enthusiast or a professional installer, you will appreciate the minimal preparation required.
- Versatile Application: Suitable for gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances, it provides a universal solution to meet various heating needs. This flexibility ensures that you can integrate it seamlessly into different systems without compatibility issues.
Installation Guidelines
Safety First: Always ensure personal safety by using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) during installation.
Clearance and Positioning: The VIT-Smooth Starter Pipe must be installed at least 375mm away from combustible materials. This is to minimize any risk of fire or damage. Additionally, when fitting the pipe, ensure that the smaller diameter points downward. This orientation is critical as it helps direct any condensates back into the flue system, preventing blockages and potential hazards.
Securing the Joints: Although the friction-fit design provides a secure connection, it is advisable to use high-temperature silicone sealant or fire cement for added security, particularly in environments subject to movement or vibration. After assembly, inspect the entire installation to ensure there are no loose connections.
Protection Against Rust: Any exposed sections of steel should be painted with a high-temperature paint to prevent rusting. This not only extends the life of the pipe but also keeps it looking professional and clean.
Addressing Common Objections
Concerns About Installation Complexity: Many customers worry that installing a flue pipe might be complicated. However, the VIT-Smooth Starter Pipe's design includes user-friendly features such as friction-fit joints, making the process straightforward even for those with basic DIY skills.

The VIT-Smooth Starter Pipe complies with rigorous EN1856-2 standards, ensuring that it is a safe choice for your home. Regular maintenance and proper installation further safeguard against hazards. The use of high-quality materials means you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your heating system is both efficient and secure.
Maintenance Issues: Routine maintenance is essential, especially for systems that handle solid fuel. The design of the VIT-Smooth Starter Pipe allows for easy access and inspection, making regular cleaning and maintenance simple. Installing an access door at points of directional change is recommended to facilitate this process.
