The VIT-Smooth 500mm 2 Part Adjustable Pipe (Ø 125mm) is an essential component for connecting gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances to flue liners, chimney stacks, or twin wall flue systems. Crafted from zero carbon steel and finished with a durable matt black powder vitreous enamel coating, this pipe guarantees long-lasting performance at temperatures up to 600°C. Designed solely as a connecting pipe, VIT-Smooth should never be used to pass through ceilings or combustible walls.
It's crucial to install the pipe with the smaller diameter pointing downward to ensure condensates remain inside the flue system. The friction fit joint method requires no sealant, although for added security, fire cement or high-temperature silicone sealant can be used. If cut, the exposed steel must be treated with high-temperature paint to prevent rust.
Maintenance is straightforward, especially for solid fuel applications, where regular chimney sweeping is recommended.

• The VIT-Smooth pipe must be installed with the smaller diameter end pointing downward to ensure condensates remain within the flue system.
• It is designed solely as a connecting pipe and must not be used to pass through ceilings or combustible walls.
• The friction-fit joint does not require sealant, however, for increased security you can use fire cement or a high-temperature silicone sealant at the joints.
• If the pipe is cut to size, apply a high-temperature paint on the exposed steel to prevent corrosion.
• Ensure that the pipe installation maintains a minimum distance of 375mm from any combustible material for safety compliance.
The VIT-Smooth pipe is suitable for gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances operating at temperatures up to 600°C.
No, the VIT-Smooth pipe is designed solely as a connecting pipe and should not be used to pass through ceilings or combustible walls.
The friction fit joint method of the VIT-Smooth pipe does not require sealing. However, for added security, you may use a jointing compound such as fire cement or high-temperature silicone sealant.
If the VIT-Smooth pipe is cut, you should cover any exposed steel with high-temperature paint to prevent rust over time.
The VIT-Smooth pipe should be installed with the smaller diameter pointing downward to keep condensates inside the flue system. It should also be at least 375mm away from any combustible material.
Regular maintenance involves ensuring provisions are made for inspecting and cleaning the chimney, especially for solid fuel applications. Chimneys should be swept at least once a year or as frequently as necessary.
The VIT-Smooth 500mm 2 Part Telescopic Pipe includes a securing clamp to fix the two parts together and guarantee a secure fit.

VIT-Smooth 500mm 2 Part Adjustable Pipe - A Comprehensive Buyers Guide
When it comes to ensuring the efficient and safe operation of your heating appliance, every component in your flue system plays a critical role. The VIT-Smooth 500mm 2 Part Adjustable Pipe is engineered to deliver not only on performance but also on safety and durability. In this guide, we will dive deep into the product features, benefits, installation considerations, and more, to help you make an informed decision.
Product Overview
The VIT-Smooth pipe is designed for connecting gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances to flue liners, chimney stacks, or twin wall systems. Made from zero carbon steel and finished with a matt black powder enamel coating, it provides high durability and resistance to heat up to 600°C. The adjustable design ensures flexibility in installation, making it ideal for various architectural constraints. Whether you are a DIY enthusiast or a professional installer, this connecting pipe meets stringent EN standards and guarantees a reliable performance record.
Key Features and Benefits
Zero Carbon Steel Construction:
- Offers exceptional durability and strength, ensuring a long-lasting component in your flue system.
- Withstands high temperatures without deformation, contributing to a safe operation.
Powder Enamel Coating:
- The matt black finish not only provides an elegant appearance but also protects against rust and wear.
- This coating is resistant to harsh weather conditions, making it suitable for outdoor installations.
Adjustable 2-Part Design:
- Flexibility in installation is critical, and the adjustable design allows you to bridge varying distances with ease.
- This minimizes the need to purchase multiple pipe sizes, saving both time and money.
Securing Clamp:
- Ensures a tight, friction-fit joint that stabilises the connection between pipe sections.
- Although the friction fit does not require any sealant, the clamp adds an extra layer of safety and security.
Safety Compliance:
- Approved under EN1856-2, this pipe meets the rigorous safety standards necessary for installations near combustible materials.
- A minimum clearance of 375mm to combustibles ensures compliance and reduces the risk of fire hazards.
Installation Considerations
Installing the VIT-Smooth 500mm 2 Part Adjustable Pipe is a straightforward process, but there are several critical factors to consider to ensure optimal performance:
1. Orientation: Always install the pipe with the smaller diameter pointing downward. This orientation ensures that any condensates remain within the flue system, thus preventing blockages or potential safety issues.
2. Sealant Options: The friction-fit joint has been engineered to create a secure fit without the need for sealants. However, for added security, especially for installations in challenging conditions, you may opt to apply fire cement or high-temperature silicone sealant.
3. Cutting and Finishing: If the pipe needs to be trimmed to fit your specific installation, be sure to treat any freshly cut surfaces with high-temperature paint. This will protect the exposed steel from corrosion and maintain the pipe's longevity.
4. Clearance Requirements: Maintain a minimum distance of 375mm between the pipe and any combustible materials. This is not only a design requirement but also a safety imperative to avoid fire hazards.
5. Maintenance: Regular maintenance, such as annual chimney sweeps for solid fuel applications, is recommended. Routine inspections help in early detection of any wear or damage and ensure that your flue system operates efficiently year-round.

Accessories such as additional securing clamps, high-temperature paints, and specialised sealants can further enhance the performance and longevity of your flue system.
