If you are seeking a flue connector that ensures safe operation, easy maintenance, and high performance, this guide is your go-to resource.
Product Overview
The VIT-Smooth Starter Pipe is expertly crafted from zero carbon steel, featuring a robust matt black powder enamel finish that not only provides a sleek look but also serves as a protective barrier against corrosion and high temperatures. With the ability to withstand temperatures up to 600°C, it is suitable for a range of heating appliances including gas, oil, and solid fuel systems. Its friction-fit design simplifies installation, reducing the need for additional sealing compounds. However, should you desire extra peace of mind, optional accessories like fire cement and high-temperature silicone are readily available to assist in achieving a gas-tight seal.
Key Features and Benefits
Durable and Stylish Construction: The use of zero carbon steel ensures that your pipe stands the test of time. The matt black finish adds a modern touch, making it an attractive feature in any installation.
High Temperature Performance: With a rated performance of up to 600°C, this starter pipe is engineered to handle extreme conditions without compromising on safety. It is ideal for robust heating systems and provides peace of mind through consistent performance.
Integrated Maintenance Features: A built-in condensate ring and sweeping door facilitate easy cleaning and inspection. These features help maintain optimal performance by ensuring that condensate and soot can be easily removed, reducing maintenance downtime.
Simple Installation: The friction-fit design not only speeds up the installation process but also reduces the mess typically associated with sealing compounds. For those who want extra security, the use of optional fire cement or high-temperature silicone is an available enhancement.

Installation Tips and Warnings
When installing the VIT-Smooth Starter Pipe, always follow these guidelines:
- Safety Clearance: Ensure that the pipe is installed with a minimum clearance of 375mm from combustible materials. This safety margin is vital for preventing fire risks.
- Proper Cutting and Treatment: If the pipe needs to be cut to size during installation, remember to treat any exposed steel edges with high-temperature paint to avoid rust and corrosion.
- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always wear appropriate PPE during the installation process. This includes gloves, safety glasses, and a dust mask to protect against metallic dust and other hazards.
- Optional Accessories: Consider searching for and using optional accessories to enhance your installation. High-temperature jointing compounds—such as fire cement or high-temperature silicone—can provide extra assurance and a more secure fit. Additionally, accessories like extra PPE may further ensure a safe working environment.
