The VIT-Smooth 250mm Pipe with a diameter of Ø 175mm is an exceptional choice for connecting your appliance to a flue liner, chimney stack, or twin-wall flue system. Crafted from zero-carbon steel and coated with a powder vitreous enamel in a stylish matt black finish, this single-skin connecting flue is designed for durability and performance. Whether you’re using gas, oil, or solid fuel appliances, the VIT-Smooth can handle temperatures up to 600°C, ensuring safe and efficient operation.
Note that this pipe is designed exclusively as a connecting pipe and should not be used to pass through ceilings or combustible walls. Installation is straightforward: ensure a 375mm clearance from any combustible materials, and remember that VIT-Smooth pipes should always be installed with the smaller diameter pointing downward to contain any condensates. While the friction fit joint does not require sealing, adding a layer of fire cement or high-temperature silicone sealant can offer additional security.
For areas that might be cut, it’s crucial to cover exposed steel with high-temperature paint to prevent rusting. Regular maintenance, including sweeping and inspecting the chimney, especially for solid fuel applications, will prolong the lifespan of your VIT-Smooth pipe.

Installation Advice and Safety Considerations
Installation of the VIT-Smooth Pipe is straightforward but requires attention to detail. Always position the pipe so that the smaller diameter is at the bottom to ensure that condensates are contained and effectively managed. A minimum clearance of 375mm from any combustible materials is mandated for safety and to comply with regulatory standards. If the pipe requires cutting for a tailored fit, ensure that exposed edges are immediately covered with high-temperature paint to prevent corrosion. Additionally, while the friction fit joint is designed to hold securely without additional sealing, installing fire cement or a high-temperature silicone sealant can further enhance the safety of the connection. Remember to wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) during installation and comply with local building codes.
