The VIT-Smooth GLOSS 250mm Pipe with Damper is more than just a connecting pipe; it is an investment in long-term reliability and performance for your heating appliance installation. Whether you are connecting gas, oil, or solid fuel appliances to your flue system, this product has been meticulously engineered to meet the demands of modern heating systems while ensuring safety and aesthetic appeal.
Overview
Manufactured from zero carbon steel and finished with a sleek gloss black powder vitreous enamel, this pipe stands out due to its robust construction and high temperature resistance. With a capacity to withstand extreme temperatures up to 600°C, it is perfectly suited for installations subject to high operational demands. In addition, the integrated damper not only regulates the heat flow within the system but also helps maintain the performance efficiency of your flue.
Key Features and Benefits
- Durability: The use of zero carbon steel guarantees that the pipe is not only strong but can also last for many years under continuous use. This resilience is key for installations in challenging conditions.
- Enhanced Safety: The friction fit joint design provides a secure connection between sections, reducing the risk of hazardous leaks. While sealing is not mandatory, the option to use high-temperature silicone or fire cement offers an additional layer of protection.
- Versatile Application: Compatible with gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances, the VIT-Smooth GLOSS pipe is flexible enough to integrate seamlessly into different heating systems, offering a universal solution for diverse installation requirements.
- Aesthetic Appeal: The gloss black finish not only performs well but also adds a modern, sleek look to your installation, complementing a variety of design styles.
Installation Guidelines
Proper installation of the VIT-Smooth GLOSS pipe is critical to ensure safety and performance. Below are some important guidelines you should consider:
1. Orientation: Always install the pipe with its smaller diameter end facing downward to ensure that condensate flows in the correct direction and does not accumulate within the flue system.
2. Joint Integrity: The friction fit joints are designed for ease of installation. However, if you prefer a more secure connection, apply an appropriate high-temperature sealant that complies with local building regulations.
3. Safety First: During installation, ensure you are wearing the correct personal protective equipment (PPE) to safeguard against potential hazards. This includes gloves, safety glasses, and suitable attire for handling materials at high temperatures.
4. Maintenance: For systems using solid fuel, it is essential that your chimney is swept at least annually. Regular maintenance helps prevent build-up that could compromise the performance of your heating system.
5. Restrictions: Remember, this pipe is intended only as a connecting component. It must not be used to pass through ceilings or combustible walls.
