The VIT-Smooth GLOSS 150mm Pipe - Ø 125mm is a top-tier connecting flue pipe crafted for use with gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances that operate at temperatures up to 600°C. Constructed from zero-carbon steel with a gloss black vitreous enamel coating, this pipe ensures both durability and aesthetic appeal. Designed solely for use as a connecting pipe, the VIT-Smooth should link your appliance to a flue liner, chimney stack, or twin wall flue system but is not suitable for passing through ceilings or combustible walls.Installation is straightforward; however, it is crucial to maintain a distance of at least 375mm from any combustible materials.
The smaller diameter end should always be pointing downward to prevent the escape of condensates. For additional security, although the friction-fit joints do not require sealing, they can be treated with a jointing compound such as fire cement or high-temperature silicone sealant.The VIT-Smooth can be customized by cutting to fit your installation needs, but ensure that any exposed steel is covered with high-temperature paint to prevent rusting. During installation, always use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
Regular maintenance is recommended, particularly for solid fuel applications, which includes annual chimney sweeping to ensure efficient operation.

When it comes to choosing the right connecting flue pipe for your heating system, it is essential to consider both performance and aesthetics. The VIT-Smooth GLOSS 150mm Pipe - Ø 125mm from National Flues is engineered for durability and visual appeal, making it a popular choice among homeowners and professionals alike. In this guide, we will delve into the features, benefits, installation process, and key considerations for buying the ideal flue pipe solution.
Why the VIT-Smooth GLOSS is the Right Choice
The VIT-Smooth GLOSS pipe stands out in the market due to its high operating temperature of up to 600°C, ensuring it can withstand the rigours of various heating applications. The gloss black vitreous enamel finish not only boosts the visual appeal of the installation but also acts as a protective barrier against corrosion. This product is purpose-built for use with gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances, making it a versatile option for many heating setups.
Key Features and Benefits
- High Temperature Tolerance: The ability to handle temperatures up to 600°C means that this pipe remains safe and reliable even under intense operating conditions, a critical factor when connecting high-performance heating appliances.
- Durable Construction: Made from zero-carbon steel and finished with a resilient enamel coating, the product promises longevity, reducing the need for frequent replacements or maintenance.
- Easy Installation: The friction-fit design allows for a hassle-free assembly, while the option to apply high-temperature sealants ensures a more secure fit if required.
- Customisable Lengths: Adapt the pipe to fit your specific installation by cutting it to the necessary size. Just remember to cover any exposed cut areas with high-temperature paint to avoid rusting.
Installation and Safety Guidelines
Correct installation is paramount to the performance and safety of your flue system. The VIT-Smooth GLOSS pipe must strictly be used as a connector – linking your appliance to a compatible flue liner, chimney stack, or twin wall flue system. It is essential that the smaller diameter end of the pipe is oriented downward, a design consideration to manage the flow of condensates effectively.
Always maintain a safe distance of at least 375mm from any combustible surfaces, such as walls or wooden structures, to reduce fire risk. Although the friction-fit joints do not require sealing under normal conditions, using an approved fire cement or high-temperature silicone sealant can provide additional security, especially in installations where movement or vibration might be a concern.
Safety and Best Practices
- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): During installation, always wear the appropriate PPE to protect from accidental burns or injuries.
- Routine Maintenance: For solid fuel applications, an annual chimney sweep and regular inspections are recommended to ensure the flue system remains free from blockages and operates efficiently.
- Expert Advice: If you have any doubts about installing the system yourself, consult with a certified professional to ensure compliance with local safety regulations.
Addressing Common Objections
Some customers may question whether a friction-fit system is secure enough for long-term use. The VIT-Smooth GLOSS pipe is designed with robust jointing mechanisms that provide a tight, secure connection without the need for constant re-sealing. However, if you prefer extra reassurance, using a high-temperature jointing compound adds an extra layer of protection, combining ease of installation with maximum performance.
Another frequent concern is the longevity of the gloss finish. Thanks to the high-quality vitreous enamel coating on the VIT-Smooth GLOSS, the pipe maintains its sleek appearance and durability even under challenging conditions, thereby offering excellent value for money over the years.
Comparisons and Considerations
When comparing various flue pipe options, it is crucial to factor in both design and functionality. The VIT-Smooth GLOSS offers a unique combination of aesthetic appeal and technical performance. Unlike some alternatives that may compromise on either durability or installation ease, this pipe delivers on both counts. Additionally, its customisable feature means you only purchase what you need, ensuring a perfect fit for your specific setup.
