Installation Advice and Best Practices
When installing the VIT-Smooth Gloss 500mm Pipe, it is essential to adhere to the recommended guidelines. Always ensure the smaller diameter is oriented downward to promote proper airflow and minimise the risk of condensation. Although the friction fit joints are designed to function without additional sealing, using a jointing compound can provide extra assurance against potential leaks. Cutting the pipe should be done with precision, and any exposed steel must be immediately treated with high-temperature paint to avoid rust formation.
Ensure that the pipe is installed away from combustible materials by maintaining a safe distance of at least 375mm. Additionally, don’t overlook the importance of personal protective equipment (PPE) during the installation process—safety first!
Addressing Common Concerns
Many installers worry about the compatibility of various flue components, and our VIT-Smooth Gloss Pipe offers reassurance in this regard. Its design is specifically tailored to act as a connecting component between appliances and the flue liner, chimney stack, or twin wall flue system. Some customers have expressed concerns about the ease of maintenance and the possibility of condensation escape. Rest assured, when installed correctly with the optional use of jointing compound, condensate remains safely contained.
Maintenance and Longevity
Maintaining a flue system that includes the VIT-Smooth Gloss Pipe is straightforward. For appliances operating on solid fuel, regular chimney sweeping (at least once a year) is advised. Moreover, installing access doors at any changes in direction greatly simplifies routine inspections and cleanings. These steps, combined with the durable construction of our pipe, ensure a long service life and reliable operation.
