The VIT-Smooth Adaptor (Vit-Smooth to Traditional) - Ø 175mm is an essential component for connecting your VIT-Smooth pipe system to traditional flue systems. Expertly crafted from zero carbon steel and finished with a sleek powder vitreous enamel coating in matt black, this adaptor guarantees durability and high performance. It's suitable for gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances with operating temperatures up to 600°C.
Ideal as a connecting pipe between your appliance and flue liner, chimney stack, or twin wall flue system, it should not be used to pass through ceilings or combustible walls. VIT-Smooth pipes are friction-fit, eliminating the need for joint sealing, although additional security can be achieved using fire cement or high-temperature silicone sealant. They can also be cut to size, with exposed steel areas requiring high-temperature paint to prevent rusting.
For safety, appropriate PPE should be used during installation. Regular maintenance, including chimney sweeping and inspection, is recommended, particularly for solid fuel appliances, to ensure optimal performance and safety.

Introduction
The VIT-Smooth Adaptor (Vit-Smooth to Traditional) is a crucial component for anyone looking to modernise or integrate their flue systems. At National Flues, we pride ourselves on providing high-quality, durable products that ensure optimal performance and safety for your heating appliances. In this guide, we will explore the detailed features, benefits, installation guidelines, and important considerations to help you make an informed decision when selecting this adaptor for your system.
Why Choose the VIT-Smooth Adaptor?
Designed for seamless compatibility between the modern VIT-Smooth pipe system and traditional flue configurations, this adaptor offers a blend of innovation and reliability. The construction from zero carbon steel guarantees durability, while the powder enamel finish not only looks great in matt black but also provides protection against corrosion. With a temperature resistance of up to 600°C, it is versatile enough to support various fuels including gas, oil, and solid fuels. Investing in quality components such as this adaptor ensures that your flue system remains safe, efficient, and compliant with industry standards.
Key Features and Their Benefits
- Superior Material Construction: The use of zero carbon steel means that the adaptor is exceptionally robust and built to last, reducing the risk of failures over time.
- Durable Powder Enamel Coating: This finish offers excellent protection against weathering and corrosion, keeping your installation looking professional for years.
- High Temperature Resistance: Operating effectively at temperatures up to 600°C, it supports a wide range of heating appliances, providing a flexible solution for your home or business.
- EN1856-2 Compliance: Adhering to stringent industry standards, this adaptor ensures that your installation meets all necessary safety requirements.
- Easy Installation with Friction-Fit Design: The innovative join system minimizes the need for additional sealing compounds while ensuring a secure connection, simplifying the installation process.
Detailed Installation Instructions
Installing the VIT-Smooth Adaptor is straightforward, yet attention to detail is paramount for safety and efficacy. Begin by ensuring that the adaptor is positioned correctly – the smaller Vit-Smooth end must point downward to contain condensates. The friction-fit design allows for a secure join without the need for external sealing; however, using fire cement or a high-temperature silicone sealant can add an extra layer of security if desired. Always verify that there is a safe distance from combustible materials, maintaining the minimum clearance of 375mm as specified in the technical details. If modifications such as cutting the pipes to fit your layout are necessary, remember to cover any exposed steel with high-temperature paint to prevent corrosion.
Addressing Common Objections
Some customers may be concerned about the compatibility of the adaptor with existing systems or worry that a friction-fit connection might not be reliable. It is important to note that this adaptor has been engineered specifically to bridge the gap between modern and traditional systems. The design has been rigorously tested to ensure secure connections that do not require additional joint sealing. For those who desire extra reassurance, applying a minimal amount of high-temperature silicone sealant can further secure the connection without detracting from its designed benefits. Moreover, the availability of compatible accessories allows you to enhance your overall flue system, further addressing any concerns regarding performance and safety.
Maintenance and Long-Term Performance
Regular maintenance is essential for ensuring that your flue system continues to operate at peak efficiency. For solid fuel applications, in particular, we recommend scheduling routine chimney inspections and incorporating access doors at changes of direction within the system. This proactive approach not only prolongs the lifespan of the installation but also ensures that any potential issues are identified and addressed promptly. Investing in a high-quality adaptor such as this one guarantees that the critical connection between your appliance and the flue system is both secure and durable. By taking care of your flue system with regular inspections and cleaning, you safeguard your investment and maintain the optimal performance of your heating appliance.

In conclusion, the VIT-Smooth Adaptor is more than just a connector – it is a vital component that ensures your heating system operates safely and efficiently. With its robust design, high-temperature tolerance, and sleek aesthetics, it exemplifies the quality and reliability that National Flues is known for. Whether you are upgrading an existing installation or embarking on a new project, the benefits provided by this adaptor make it an ideal choice.
