Introducing the VIT-Smooth 1000mm Starter Pipe with Door
The VIT-Smooth 1000mm Starter Pipe with Door is a top-of-the-range solution for connecting your stove or appliance to your flue system. Manufactured from high-quality zero carbon steel and finished in a sleek matte black, this starter pipe offers not only excellent durability but also a modern look that will complement any installation. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of high-temperature applications, the VIT-Smooth is built to withstand temperatures up to 600°C, making it ideal for gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances.
Key Features and Their Benefits
Durable Construction: Crafted from zero carbon steel, this pipe is engineered for long-term performance and can handle the extreme conditions typical in flue systems. Its robust build minimises maintenance needs and ensures a reliable service life.
Powder Enamel Coating: The sleek matte black finish isn’t just for aesthetics – the powder enamel coating provides superior protection against corrosion and high temperatures. This means your flue system remains both efficient and attractive over time.
Temperature Resilience: Designed to operate at temperatures up to 600°C, the VIT-Smooth starter pipe is perfect for a wide range of fuels. Whether you are using gas, oil, or solid fuel, you can trust this pipe to perform reliably.
Friction-Fit Joint Design: Installation is simplified thanks to the innovative friction-fit joint, which eliminates the need for additional sealants. However, for added security, a high-temperature jointing compound can be used, ensuring a gas-tight connection.
Integrated Condensate Ring and Sweeping Door: This dual design feature not only allows for a secure connection to a continental-style stove spigot but also provides easy access for cleaning. The built-in sweeping door is especially valuable for maintaining optimum performance in solid fuel applications, ensuring that your chimney is kept in top condition with a simplified maintenance process.
Installation and Safety Guidelines
When installing the VIT-Smooth starter pipe, it is imperative to follow the provided guidelines to ensure both safety and optimal performance:
- Clearance: Maintain a minimum clearance of 375mm from combustible materials, such as wood or plasterboard, to ensure proper heat dispersion and avoid fire hazards.
- Connection: Connect the pipe directly to your appliance using the integrated condensate ring. For added security, apply a high-temperature silicone or cement seal under the ring to achieve a gas-tight connection.
- Maintenance: Regular cleaning is crucial, particularly when the pipe is used with solid fuel. The built-in sweeping door facilitates easy access, allowing you to inspect and clean the flue at least once a year, keeping your system efficient and safe.
- Do’s and Don’ts: Do not run the pipe through ceilings or combustible walls. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and use appropriate PPE, such as gloves and eye protection, during installation.
