The VIT-Smooth Increaser - Ø 175-200mm is a top-notch connecting flue pipe designed to seamlessly transition between flue systems of different diameters. Ideal for gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances operating at temperatures up to 600°C, this increaser serves as a crucial component for ensuring efficient and safe operation. Crafted from zero carbon steel and coated with a powder vitreous enamel in a matte black finish, the VIT-Smooth Increaser offers superior durability and a sleek appearance.
It is essential to use this pipe only as a connection between your appliance and the flue liner, chimney stack, or twin wall flue system, and not to pass through ceilings or combustible walls to ensure safety and compliance with building regulations. Installation is straightforward, with the smaller diameter end pointing downward to keep condensates within the flue system. Friction-fit joints eliminate the need for sealants, though optional jointing compounds can be applied for additional security.
Regular maintenance, including sweeping and inspection, is recommended, particularly for solid fuel applications to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

Manufactured using zero carbon steel and finished with a sleek, powder enamel matte black coating, this increaser has been engineered to ensure both durability and elegant aesthetics.
Why This Product?
The design of the VIT-Smooth Increaser provides a seamless transition between different pipe diameters, specifically bridging the gap from Ø175mm to Ø200mm. This transition is essential for maintaining efficient airflow and ensuring that your flue system remains fully compliant with safety standards. The friction-fit design means that installation is simple and secure, requiring no additional sealants unless you choose to use optional jointing compounds for enhanced security.
Modern heating systems, whether they use gas, oil, or solid fuel, demand a high level of reliability and safety. This increaser meets those demands by being able to withstand operating temperatures up to 600°C. It is built to last in the demanding environments of residential and commercial applications.
Key Product Benefits
- Enhanced Safety and Compliance: With an approval rating that meets EN1856-2 standards and a design that maintains the necessary clearance from combustible materials (540mm), the increaser ensures your installation remains safe and regulatory compliant.
- Maximised Durability: The use of zero carbon steel and a durable powder enamel finish mean this connecting pipe will withstand the rigours of time and usage without compromising its performance or appearance.
- Simple Installation: The friction-fit joints allow for hassle-free assembly. The design is such that the smaller diameter end is installed facing downwards, helping to manage condensate and maintain system integrity.
- Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of applications, including gas, oil, and solid fuel systems, it offers homeowners and professionals alike a versatile solution to flue system connectivity challenges.
Installation Best Practices
Correct installation is key to the performance and longevity of your flue system. Here are a few tips to ensure you get the best performance from your VIT-Smooth Increaser:
1. Follow the Downward Orientation: Always position the smaller diameter end of the pipe downward. This small step is essential for enabling proper drainage of condensates, thereby reducing the risk of corrosion and buildup.
2. Secure Joints: While the friction-fit means you can install without adhesives, for those seeking an extra layer of security, applying an approved jointing compound like fire cement is recommended. This additional measure can further secure the joints against potential leaks.
3. Avoid Routing Through Combustibles: Keep in mind that the increaser must not be passed through ceilings or walls containing combustibles. Compliance with building regulations not only ensures safety but also extends the life of your installation.
Optional Accessories to Consider
