The VIT-Smooth GLOSS Increaser (Ø 150-175mm) is the perfect solution for creating a seamless connection between your appliance and flue liner, chimney stack, or twin wall flue system. Designed to handle temperatures up to 600°C, this connecting pipe is suitable for gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances. It boasts a single-skin construction made of zero carbon steel, powder-coated with vitreous enamel for a durable gloss black finish.
Please note, VIT-Smooth should only be used as a connecting pipe and must not pass through ceilings or combustible walls. Installation is straightforward: ensure the smaller diameter points downward to prevent condensates from escaping. While the friction fit joint eliminates the need for sealing, adding a jointing compound can provide extra security.
For any adjustments, VIT-Smooth can be cut but make sure to coat exposed steel with high-temperature paint to prevent rust. Always wear appropriate PPE during installation.Regular maintenance is crucial, particularly for solid fuel applications. Incorporate access doors for easier inspection and cleaning at direction changes.
Chimneys serving solid fuel appliances should be swept at least once a year.

When it comes to maintaining the integrity and efficiency of your chimney system, choosing the right connecting flue pipe is crucial. The VIT-Smooth GLOSS Increaser provides an exceptional solution for integrating your appliance with your flue liner, chimney stack, or twin wall flue system. This comprehensive guide will walk you through every aspect of the product, addressing potential concerns, detailing its features, and ultimately demonstrating why it stands out as a premium choice.
Product Overview
The VIT-Smooth GLOSS Increaser, available in a diameter range of Ø 150-175mm, is designed to bridge the gap between your appliance and the flue system seamlessly. Manufactured with zero carbon steel and finished with a durable gloss black vitreous enamel coating, this component not only performs exceptionally well under high temperatures (up to 600°C) but also adds a touch of elegance to your overall chimney setup. Whether you are running a gas, oil, or solid fuel appliance, this increaser adapts to your needs without compromise.
Key Features and Their Benefits
- Durability and Aesthetics: The single-skin design, combined with a robust powder-coated finish, ensures the product endures harsh operating conditions while maintaining a sleek appearance. This means less frequent replacements and a more affordable long-term investment.
- High-Temperature Tolerance: Operating effectively up to 600°C, the increaser is perfectly suited for modern heating systems. This temperature resilience provides peace of mind knowing that your installation remains safe and efficient under all circumstances.
- Easy Installation: Featuring a friction fit design, the pipe does not require additional sealants—although applying a jointing compound for extra security is optional. Installation is both straightforward and versatile, making it a favoured choice for DIY enthusiasts and professional installers alike.
- Adaptability: The product can be carefully cut to your required length, allowing flexibility in installations. It is essential, however, that any cut surfaces are treated with high-temperature paint to prevent rust and maintain performance.
Addressing Common Objections
Is it safe to use?
Absolutely. The VIT-Smooth GLOSS Increaser has been designed with safety in mind. It adheres to stringent industry standards, ensuring that even when used with high-temperature solid fuel appliances, it provides a secure and safe connection. Remember, the product should never pass through ceilings or combustible walls to maintain optimal safety.
What about maintenance?
Regular maintenance is vital for any chimney system, particularly when using solid fuel appliances. With the VIT-Smooth GLOSS Increaser, routine inspections are simplified. We recommend installing access doors near bending points to facilitate easy cleaning. Once a year, a thorough chimney sweep is advisable to ensure there is no build-up that could compromise efficiency or safety.
Can this component be modified on-site?
Yes, the increaser can be cut to your desired length. Be mindful, however, that any modification should be followed by the application of high-temperature paint on any exposed metal. Additionally, while the friction fit reduces the need for sealants, adding a high-temperature adhesive can further enhance the security of your installation, particularly in setups where minimal movement is expected.
Installation Tips
For optimal performance, always install the VIT-Smooth GLOSS Increaser with the smaller diameter end positioned downward. This careful orientation helps to prevent condensate from escaping and ensures a more efficient draw within your chimney system. Always use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to avoid any unforeseen hazards during installation. If you are not entirely comfortable with DIY installation, consider hiring a professional to ensure that the pipe is fitted to the highest standards.
