The VIT-Smooth GLOSS 250mm Pipe - Ø 150mm is a high-quality, single-wall connecting flue system. Expertly crafted from zero carbon steel, this pipe features a durable vitreous enamel coating in a sleek black gloss finish, making it both functional and stylish. Suitable for use with gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances, the VIT-Smooth pipe can handle temperatures up to 600°C, providing versatility and reliability.
Designed to connect your appliance to a Flue Liner, Chimney Stack, or Twin Wall Flue System, this pipe should not be used to pass through ceilings or combustible walls. Installation is straightforward, with the smaller diameter always pointing downward to ensure condensates stay within the flue system. This friction-fit joint system doesn't require joint sealing, but for added security, a jointing compound such as fire cement or high-temperature silicone sealant can be used.
Be sure to cover any cut edges with high-temperature paint to prevent rust. Regular maintenance is recommended, especially for solid fuel applications, and access doors should be installed at directional changes for easy cleaning.

Why Choose the VIT-Smooth GLOSS 250mm Pipe?
Choosing the right flue pipe is crucial for the overall efficiency and safety of your heating system. The VIT-Smooth GLOSS pipe is manufactured from zero carbon steel, guaranteeing a long service life and robustness even under high temperatures of up to 600°C. The sleek black vitreous enamel finish not only adds a contemporary look to your installation but also ensures excellent resistance against rust and corrosion.

- Durability: Constructed from zero carbon steel, the VIT-Smooth GLOSS pipe is engineered to withstand the rigours of daily use without compromising on quality.
- Friction-Fit Design: The innovative friction-fit joint system simplifies installation by eliminating the need for extensive sealing. However, for extra security, you might consider using a high-temperature sealant.

Installation Guidelines and Safety Tips
Installing your flue pipe correctly is essential for optimal performance. Begin by ensuring that the pipe is installed with its smaller diameter pointed downward, thereby encouraging condensate to remain within the flue system. Although the friction-fit joints are designed for easy assembly without additional sealing, it is advisable to use a jointing compound such as fire cement for an extra layer of safety.
Always allow for proper clearances – particularly, maintain a minimum distance of 375mm from combustible surfaces. If the pipe is to be cut for a custom fit, immediately cover any exposed steel with high-temperature paint to prevent rust and corrosion. Furthermore, when changing the direction of the pipe installation, consider the use of access doors. These not only facilitate maintenance but also ensure that your flue remains safe and efficient over the long term.
Complementary Accessories to Optimise Your Setup
While the VIT-Smooth GLOSS pipe offers outstanding performance on its own, pairing it with the right accessories can further enhance the safety and efficiency of your system. Optional accessories such as jointing compounds, high-temperature sealants, and specially designed access doors are readily available to complement your flue installation. These additional components can help secure joints, provide extra protection against heat and moisture, and simplify the cleaning process, ensuring that your flue system remains in top condition year after year. We encourage you to search for these accessories on our website to create a customised solution tailored to your exact requirements.
