The VIT-Smooth GLOSS 90° Tee and Cap M/F - Ø 100mm is an essential component for connecting flues to the rear outlets of appliances. Manufactured from zero-carbon steel, it boasts a durable powder vitreous enamel coating in a sleek gloss black finish that can withstand temperatures up to 600°C. This product is versatile and compatible with gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances, ensuring seamless integration with your existing flue system.When installing, ensure that the VIT-Smooth is placed the correct way up—smaller diameter pointing downwards—to keep condensates inside the flue system.
It’s a friction-fit joint that doesn’t require joint sealing. However, for added security, you may use a jointing compound such as fire cement or high-temperature silicone sealant. This approach prevents condensate leaks and maintains the pipe’s appearance.
Additionally, VIT-Smooth pipes are designed for easy cutting; just make sure to coat any exposed steel with high-temperature paint to prevent rust.Proper maintenance is paramount, especially with solid fuel systems. Provisions should be made for chimney inspection and cleaning, ideally with the inclusion of access doors at direction changes. Regular sweeping, at least annually, is recommended for optimal performance.

When selecting components for your flue system, the choice of accessories is pivotal in ensuring both efficiency and safety. The VIT-Smooth GLOSS - 90° Tee and Cap M/F - Ø 100mm is a standout option that combines robust design, simple installation, and reliable performance. This comprehensive guide will discuss everything you need to know about this product, address common queries, and guide you through the installation process to help you make an informed decision.
Product Overview
The VIT-Smooth GLOSS is engineered for connecting flue systems to the rear outlets of your heating appliances. It is particularly suitable for gas, oil, and solid fuel systems. Manufactured from zero-carbon steel and finished with a durable gloss black enamel, it is designed to withstand high temperatures of up to 600°C. This makes it an ideal solution for demanding environments where safety and durability are crucial.
Core Features and Their Benefits
Robust Construction:
The foundation of any reliable flue system component is its build quality. Crafted from zero-carbon steel, the VIT-Smooth GLOSS is engineered to offer exceptional durability. This robust construction minimizes the need for frequent replacements, providing long-term value and performance.
Gloss Black Enamel Finish:
Not only does this product look contemporary with its sleek finish, but the powder vitreous enamel coating also offers significant protection from corrosion and adverse weather conditions. This finish improves the lifespan of the product while also enhancing the visual appeal of your installation.
High Temperature Tolerance:
Operating efficiently at temperatures up to 600°C, this tee and cap accessory is built to handle the high heat generated by modern appliances. Its exceptional temperature tolerance ensures safety and consistent performance over time.
Friction-Fit Joint Design:
Installation is simplified by the friction-fit joint which provides a secure connection without the immediate need for sealing compounds. However, for added security in demanding applications, you may consider using fire cement or high-temperature silicone sealant.
Tee Cap for Maintenance:
Maintaining your flue system is essential for efficient operation and safety. The integrated tee cap design allows for easy and hassle-free sweeping access, meaning that routine cleaning becomes a straightforward task.
Addressing Key Installation and Safety Concerns
Correct Orientation and Installation:
One of the most common questions is about the correct orientation of the flue accessory. It is essential that the VIT-Smooth GLOSS is installed with the smaller diameter pointing downwards. This ensures that any condensate is effectively retained within the flue system, reducing the risk of leakage and corrosion. Additionally, maintaining a minimum clearance of 375mm from any combustible material is highly recommended to prevent fire hazards.
Sealing and Joint Security:
The friction-fit joint is designed to eliminate the necessity for sealing; however, if you anticipate exposure to high moisture or condensate, using a jointing compound is advisable. Opting for fire cement or high-temperature silicone can provide extra reassurance that your installation remains secure and leak-free.
Routine Maintenance:
Regular maintenance cannot be overemphasised when it comes to flue systems. For installations involving solid fuel, especially, periodic inspections and cleanings are crucial. The VIT-Smooth GLOSS, with its convenient tee cap, simplifies the maintenance process – allowing you to easily sweep through the system, inspect for any build-up, and ensure the integrity of the connection. Always remember to protect any freshly cut surfaces by applying high-temperature paint immediately after installation to prevent rusting.
