The VIT-Smooth 500mm Adjustable Pipe is an essential component for connecting your appliance to a flue liner, chimney stack, or twin wall flue system. Crafted from zero carbon steel and finished with a powder vitreous enamel coating in a sleek matt black, this single skin pipe is suitable for use with gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances at temperatures up to 600°C. Installation is straightforward, but it’s crucial to ensure the smaller diameter faces downwards to keep condensates inside the flue system.
Remember, VIT-Smooth pipes should not pass through ceilings or combustible walls and should be kept a minimum of 375mm away from any combustible materials. This pipe can be trimmed to fit, but exposed steel must be protected with high-temperature paint to prevent rust. Maintenance is simple with recommended provisions for inspection and cleaning, especially for solid fuel appliances.
Ensure safe usage by wearing appropriate PPE during installation.

Introduction
The VIT-Smooth 500mm 1 Part Adjustable Pipe in Ø 125mm from National Flues is designed to be the ultimate solution for connecting appliances to chimneys, flue liners, or twin wall systems. Crafted from premium Zero Carbon Steel and finished with a durable powder enamel coating, this adjustable pipe offers both exceptional performance and an attractive aesthetics. Whether you are installing a gas, oil, or solid fuel appliance, this pipe is engineered to handle high temperatures up to 600°C, ensuring a safe and reliable operation.
Key Benefits and Features
Durability and Strength: The use of Zero Carbon Steel guarantees that your pipe remains strong and resilient even under prolonged exposure to high temperatures. The powder enamel finish not only adds to its durability but also protects against corrosion, thereby extending the lifespan of the product.
Adjustability for Precision Fitting: This pipe features a unique adjustable design that allows for easy adaptation to different installation requirements. Its friction-fit joint means there is no need for extensive sealing, simplifying the installation process tremendously.
Safety Standards: Manufactured to meet the EN1856-2 standards, this pipe provides peace of mind by adhering to the highest safety criteria. It is designed with both functionality and safety in mind, ensuring that your flue system remains effective and secure.
Versatile Applications
The VIT-Smooth Adjustable Pipe excels in versatility. It is perfectly suited for a variety of settings, including:
- Residential Installations: Ideal for homeowners who need a reliable and efficient connection for their heating appliances.
- Commercial Properties: Suitable for use in commercial environments where safety and durability are paramount.
- Retrofit Projects: Its adjustable nature makes it a great choice for updating older systems with modern, reliable components.
Installation Guidelines
Correct installation is critical to achieve optimum performance and safety. Follow these guidelines to ensure a successful setup:
- Orientation: The pipe must be installed with the smaller diameter end facing downwards. This position is crucial as it helps in trapping any condensate within the pipe, preventing external leakage.
- Clearance: Always maintain a minimum distance of 375mm from any combustible materials. This precaution is essential to reduce the risk of fire and ensure compliance with safety regulations.
- Cut-to-Size Adjustments: If you need to cut the pipe to achieve a perfect fit, make sure that any exposed steel is immediately treated with high-temperature paint. This prevents rapid rusting and maintains the protective finish of the product.
- Safety Equipment: When undertaking installation, always wear the recommended PPE, including gloves, goggles, and dust masks, to protect yourself against potential hazards.
Maintenance and Longevity
To ensure that your pipe remains in optimal condition over time, regular maintenance is advised. Inspect the pipe periodically for any signs of wear or damage, especially if the pipe is in a system with high solid fuel usage. A routine cleaning schedule will help remove soot, creosote, and other residues, preserving the integrity of the flue system. Adhering to these maintenance practices not only ensures long-term performance but also maximises safety.
Accessory Considerations
While the VIT-Smooth Adjustable Pipe is an exceptional standalone product, many users find that additional accessories can further enhance their flue installation. Accessories such as high-temperature sealants, specialised clamps, and extra protective coatings are available to complement the pipe. These accessories can help to create a more secure, weather-resistant installation while adding flexibility to your overall configuration. It is worth exploring these options to ensure your setup is as robust and efficient as possible.
Addressing Common Concerns
Concerns About Cutting and Adjustments: The VIT-Smooth pipe is designed to be easily cut to the required size. However, it is essential to seal off any newly exposed steel with a high-temperature paint to maintain the pipe’s anti-rust properties.
Installation in Restricted Spaces: In situations where space is limited, the adjustable nature of the pipe becomes a significant advantage. It can be adapted to meet precise dimension requirements without compromising on safety or durability.
Maintenance and Inspection: Some users may worry about ongoing maintenance. Regular inspections and cleaning will ensure that the system remains in peak condition, and National Flues provides detailed guidelines to assist with this process.
