The VIT-Smooth GLOSS 500mm Pipe with Door is an essential flue pipe, designed with precision for use with gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances operating up to 600°. This high-quality connecting pipe, finished in a sleek gloss black powder-coated vitreous enamel, ensures both functionality and aesthetics.

However, for absolute security, joints can be sealed with fire cement or high-temperature silicone sealant to prevent any condensate escape.Attention to detail in installation is crucial: ensure a minimum distance of 375mm from combustible materials and install with the smaller diameter pointing downward to keep condensates inside the flue system. The built-in access door facilitates easy sweeping and maintenance, crucial for solid fuel applications. Always use PPE during installation, and if the pipe is cut, cover any exposed steel with high-temperature paint to avoid rusting.Routine maintenance is vital for optimal performance, particularly with solid fuel appliances.
It is recommended to sweep chimneys at least once a year.

Introduction
The VIT-Smooth GLOSS 500mm Pipe with Door is an industry-leading product designed for connecting modern domestic and commercial appliances to robust flue systems. At National Flues, we understand that installing a flue pipe is more than just connecting a component—it is about ensuring safety, efficiency, and long-term performance. This comprehensive guide will walk you through every critical aspect of your purchase, helping you make an informed decision and prepare for a seamless installation.
Product Overview
Robust Construction: Made from zero carbon steel and finished in a sleek, gloss black powder-coated vitreous enamel, this pipe is engineered for resilience and durability. It withstands high temperatures, up to 600°, ensuring reliable performance for gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances.
User-Friendly Design: The built-in access door is a unique feature that simplifies regular sweeping and maintenance, reducing overall upkeep costs and prolonging the life of your flue system. The friction-fit joint design minimises installation time; however, for additional security, optional sealing compounds such as fire cement or high-temperature silicone sealant can be used.
Key Considerations for Installation
Safety and Compliance: When planning your installation, safety should be your top priority. The VIT-Smooth GLOSS pipe must be installed with the smaller diameter end pointing downward. Also, maintain a clearance of at least 375mm from any combustible materials to meet safety regulations.
Ease of Maintenance: Regular maintenance is crucial, particularly for installations with solid fuel appliances. The design of this pipe—with the integrated door—ensures that cleaning your flue system is straightforward and efficient, thus reducing the risk of creosote build-up and other hazards.
Optional Accessories: To fully optimise your flue system, consider our range of optional accessories. These include high-temperature silicone sealants for a secure joint, fire cement for additional sealing, and high-temperature paint to cover any areas where the pipe has been cut. These accessories are available on our website and can significantly enhance long-term performance and safety.
Overcoming Common Objections
Objection 1: 'I’m not sure if this pipe is suitable for my appliance.'
The VIT-Smooth GLOSS pipe is designed to function with a variety of heating appliances, including gas, oil, and solid fuel units. Its versatility makes it an excellent option whether you are installing a new system or upgrading an existing one.
Objection 2: 'I am concerned about the complexity of installation.'
While safety and correct installation are paramount, the user-friendly design of this pipe, especially the friction-fit joints and built-in access door, simplifies the process. Professional installers often prefer this product for its reliability and ease of maintenance. Moreover, clear installation instructions and optional accessories help ensure a secure fit.
Objection 3: 'Will I need additional accessories to ensure safety?'
In most cases, the friction-fit design of the VIT-Smooth GLOSS pipe is sufficient. However, for enhanced security, many customers opt for additional accessories such as fire cement or high-temperature silicone sealant. These optional items provide extra peace of mind, ensuring that your joints are completely sealed against condensate escape and potential leakage.
