The VIT-Smooth GLOSS - 90° Tee and Cap (Ø 150mm) is an essential component for connecting your appliance to a flue liner, chimney stack, or twin wall flue system. Constructed from zero-carbon steel with a powder vitreous enamel coating, it is not only durable but also aesthetically pleasing with its high-gloss black finish. Suitable for use with gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances, it can handle temperatures up to 600°C.
The VIT-Smooth pipe is designed as a single-skin connection and must only be used between the appliance and the primary flue system. It should never be used to pass through combustible walls or ceilings. For installation, ensure the smaller diameter of the pipe is pointing downwards to keep condensates within the flue system.
It fits together with friction, but you can apply a jointing compound like fire cement or high-temperature silicone sealant for extra security. Remember to cover any cut edges with high-temperature paint to prevent rust. Maintenance is straightforward but essential, particularly for solid fuel appliances.
Install access doors at directional changes to facilitate chimney sweeping and regular inspection, which should be done at least once a year. Always wear appropriate PPE during installation to ensure safety.

Comprehensive Buyers Guide for the VIT-Smooth GLOSS 90° Tee and Cap – Ø 150mm
The VIT-Smooth GLOSS 90° Tee and Cap by National Flues is an essential component for anyone looking to install or upgrade their flue systems. Designed with both performance and style in mind, this product offers a reliable and secure connection for gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances. In this guide, we will explain everything you need to know about this product, address common concerns, and help you make an informed decision.
Product Overview
The VIT-Smooth GLOSS 90° Tee and Cap is manufactured from zero-carbon steel and treated with a powder vitreous enamel coating. This results in a high-gloss black finish that is as visually appealing as it is durable. The product is specifically designed to enable a smooth and secure transitional connection between your appliance and the primary flue system. With a diameter of 150mm, it promises excellent performance under high-temperature conditions (up to 600°C), making it a versatile choice regardless of your heating appliance type.
Key Features and Benefits
- Durability: The use of zero-carbon steel coupled with a high-quality enamel finish ensures that the product will stand up to the rigours of continuous use and exposure to high heat. This durability translates to long-term savings and reliability.
- High-Temperature Performance: Rated for use up to 600°C, the VIT-Smooth GLOSS is engineered to handle the demanding conditions associated with various fuel types. This means you can trust it whether you are using gas, oil, or solid fuels.
- Ease of Installation: The friction fit design helps simplify the installation process, reducing the time and complexity of setup. For added security, many users opt to complement the friction fit with jointing compounds such as fire cement or high-temperature silicone sealant.
- Maintenance Access: Incorporated into the design is a tee cap, which facilitates easy access for periodic chimney sweeping and inspections. This is crucial for maintaining optimal performance and ensuring safety when using solid fuel appliances.
Installation Guidelines
Proper installation is crucial to the safe and efficient operation of any flue system. Here are some important points to remember when installing the VIT-Smooth GLOSS 90° Tee and Cap:
1. Orientation: Always ensure that the smaller diameter end of the pipe points downwards to allow condensates to remain within the flue system. Incorrect installation can lead to moisture build-up, which may cause corrosion and reduce performance.
2. Securing the Connection: Although the product is designed for a friction fit, consider using a suitable jointing compound for enhanced security. This additional step can particularly be beneficial in areas exposed to vibration or other stresses.
3. Protection of Cut Edges: After cutting the pipe to the desired length, cover any exposed edges with high-temperature paint to prevent rust and deterioration.
4. Avoid Dangerous Placements: Never install the pipe in a manner where it passes through combustible walls or ceilings. This is a critical safety requirement to prevent potential fire hazards.
5. Maintenance Access: For systems involving solid fuel appliances, install access doors at directional changes in the flue to facilitate easy cleaning and inspection. Regular maintenance is key to ensuring the longevity of your system.
Addressing Common Concerns
Q: Is the VIT-Smooth GLOSS suitable for my fuel type?
A: Absolutely. Whether you operate gas, oil, or solid fuel appliances, this component is designed to meet the rigorous demands of all three, ensuring reliable performance in high-temperature conditions.
Q: How difficult is the installation process?
A: The installation is straightforward due to its friction fit design. However, it is imperative to adhere to proper installation guidelines such as orienting the smaller diameter downwards, which significantly aids in the management of condensates. If additional security is needed, using a fire cement or silicone sealant is recommended.
Q: What maintenance is involved?
A: Regular inspection and cleaning of the flue system are recommended, especially for solid fuel appliances. The integrated tee cap offers a convenient access point to ensure routine chimney sweeping is performed efficiently. Maintaining your system not only guarantees peak performance but also enhances safety.
