The VIT-Smooth GLOSS - Smooth 90° Elbow - Ø 100mm is an essential component for connecting your appliance to your flue liner or chimney stack. This high-quality, single skin connecting flue system is crafted from zero carbon steel and features a powder vitreous enamel coating in a glossy black finish. It is suitable for gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances handling temperatures up to 600°.
Please note, VIT-Smooth should not be used to pass through ceilings or combustible walls. When installing VIT-Smooth, ensure it is the correct way up with the smaller diameter pointing downward to contain condensates within the system. This friction fit joint doesn’t require sealing, but for added security, joints may be sealed with fire cement or high-temperature silicone sealant.
Proper installation includes keeping a 375mm distance from combustible materials and using appropriate PPE. Maintenance provisions for inspection and chimney cleaning are especially crucial for solid fuel applications, and it is advisable to install VIT-Smooth with access doors at direction changes to facilitate this. Make sure to sweep and maintain chimneys at least annually if using solid fuel appliances.

The VIT-Smooth Gloss Black 90° Elbow is the ideal solution for homeowners and professionals seeking a high-quality, durable component for their chimney or flue system installations. Engineered from zero carbon steel and enhanced with a powder vitreous enamel finish, this component not only delivers exceptional performance but also offers a sleek aesthetic that complements any installation. Whether you are connecting a flue liner to a chimney stack or integrating a new heating system, this elbow ensures that your connection is both secure and visually appealing.
Key Features and Benefits
One of the primary advantages of the VIT-Smooth Gloss Black 90° Elbow is its robust construction. Made from zero carbon steel, it guarantees longevity and can withstand high temperatures up to 600°, making it suitable for various types of appliances including those that use gas, oil, or solid fuels. The glossy black finish provided by the vitreous enamel not only looks modern but also adds a layer of corrosion protection. With its friction-fit joint, installation becomes quicker and simpler, saving valuable time during the setup process. Additionally, clearances from combustible materials are carefully considered during installation to ensure maximum safety.
Durability and Safety
Durability is paramount when it comes to heating systems, and the use of zero carbon steel ensures that this product can maintain its integrity over many years. The superior finish provides additional protection, reducing maintenance headaches and extending the lifespan of your chimney system. Safety is a key concern during installation; hence, clearances and proper orientations are specified to minimise the risk of accidents. The friction-fit design further guarantees a secure connection, alleviating many of the common installation worries.
Installation Tips and Best Practices
Correct installation is essential for optimal performance and longevity. When fitting the elbow, ensure that the installation orientation is precise – the smaller diameter must be directed downwards to contain any condensates effectively. Although the friction-fit joint is inherently secure, professionals may opt to use high-temperature silicone sealant or fire cement to provide an extra layer of security. Always remember to maintain a clearance of at least 375mm from any combustible materials when installing this component. The inclusion of access doors at changes in direction is recommended to facilitate routine inspections and cleaning, which are essential for solid fuel systems.
Addressing Common Objections
It is not uncommon to have reservations when upgrading or modifying a chimney system. Some customers may be concerned about compatibility or the ease of installation. The VIT-Smooth Gloss Black 90° Elbow has been designed with simplicity in mind. Its friction-fit system reduces installation time and complexity, making it accessible even for those who may not have extensive experience in ductwork or chimney installations. Additionally, the product complies with strict safety standards, ensuring that it is not used in areas where it might compromise fire safety, such as passing through combustible walls or ceilings.
Additional Installation Considerations
Before beginning the installation process, ensure that you have all necessary tools and protective gear. Wearing the appropriate PPE is crucial to ensure both personal safety and the integrity of the installation. In cases where extra security is desired, the application of a high-temperature sealant can be considered, though it is not strictly necessary given the secure friction-fit design. Furthermore, planning your installation to include accessible maintenance points can save time and effort in the long run. Regular inspection and maintenance of your chimney system are recommended, particularly if you are using solid fuel appliances, to prevent the buildup of soot and ensure efficient operation.
Maintenance and Longevity
The long-term performance of any chimney system is closely linked to both the quality of the materials used and the regularity of maintenance. This elbow, with its premium enamel finish and robust construction, is designed to perform excellently through years of use. It's advisable to schedule annual inspections, particularly if your system is exposed to high levels of use or harsh weather conditions. Ensuring that all components are securely fitted and free from damage can help in maintaining overall system safety and efficiency. Regular cleaning and proper maintenance not only prolong the life of your appliance but also enhance energy efficiency, reducing your energy bills over time.
