The VIT-Smooth Smooth 33° Elbow with Door - Ø 175mm is essential for connecting your appliance to the Flue Liner, Chimney Stack, or Twin Wall Flue System. It's suitable for use with gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances capable of reaching temperatures up to 600°. Constructed from zero carbon steel and coated with a durable powder vitreous enamel in a sleek matt black finish, this elbow is both robust and stylish.
However, it is important to note that VIT-Smooth pipes are not designed to pass through ceilings or combustible walls. Installation requires that the smaller diameter points downward to keep condensates within the system. While the friction fit joint negates the need for sealants, adding a jointing compound can provide extra security.
Always maintain a safe distance from combustible materials and apply high-temperature paint to any cut edges to prevent rust. Regular inspection and cleaning, ideally once a year or more frequently for solid fuel applications, are essential for optimal performance and longevity.

Comprehensive Buyers Guide for the VIT-Smooth Smooth 33° Elbow with Door - Ø 175mm
When looking to upgrade or install a flue system, the choice of components can make a significant difference in overall safety and performance. The VIT-Smooth Smooth 33° Elbow with Door is specifically designed to deliver a secure and aesthetically pleasing connection for your appliance, ensuring that your system runs efficiently and safely. In this guide, we will delve into the important aspects of choosing, installing, and maintaining this high-quality elbow connector.
Understanding the Product
The VIT-Smooth elbow is manufactured from zero carbon steel that delivers excellent strength and durability, even when exposed to high temperatures of up to 600°. Its powder vitreous enamel finish in a sleek matt black colour not only enhances the visual appeal but also acts as a protective barrier against corrosion. Typically used to connect gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances to your flue liner, chimney stack, or twin wall flue system, this elbow connector is built to meet rigorous industry standards.
Key Benefits and Why They Matter
- High Temperature Tolerance: With the ability to withstand temperatures of up to 600°, this elbow connector is perfectly suited for high-performance appliances. This ensures long-lasting safety and reliability, making it a worthwhile investment.
- Enhanced Durability: The use of zero carbon steel and a matt black finish ensures that the product is not only resilient but also visually complementary to modern architectural designs. The finish acts as a defence against rust and wear.
- Easy Installation: The design incorporates a friction fit joint that simplifies the installation process. Although the joint does not require sealants, the option to add a joint compound provides extra reassurance for those seeking additional protection.
- Optimised Performance for Condensates: By installing the elbow with the smaller diameter pointing downwards, the connector ensures that condensates are effectively retained within the system. This eliminates potential issues related to moisture build-up.
Installation Guidelines and Best Practices
Proper installation is paramount to ensuring the long-term functionality of your flue system. The guidelines to keep in mind include:
- Ensure the smaller diameter of the elbow is always oriented downwards to capture condensates.
- Maintain a minimum clearance of 375mm from any combustible materials, such as wood or plasterboards, to adhere to safety requirements.
- Although the friction fit provides secure fitting without sealants, consider using a fire cement or high-temperature silicone sealant for applications that may demand extra precaution.
- When cutting or modifying the pipe during installation, always cover any exposed steel with a high-temperature paint designed for the purpose. This step is crucial in preventing rust and deterioration over time.
Addressing Common Objections
Some customers may initially have reservations about whether additional accessories are necessary. It is important to note that while the VIT-Smooth elbow is designed to perform effectively on its own, there are complementary accessories available that can further enhance the installation and longevity of your flue system. For example:
- Jointing Compounds and Sealants: Though not required, these can add an extra layer of security to your installation, particularly in environments where conditions are variable.
- High-Temperature Paints: These are essential when modifications are made to the pipe, to prevent rust and extend the lifespan of the component.
- Optional Insulation Accessories: In contexts where heat retention or sound dampening is critical, seeking out additional insulation materials might be beneficial.
Knowing the optional accessories available, such as door sealing kits or high-performance insulation wraps, enables you to customize your installation to match specific requirements. A quick online search or a consultation with a trusted supplier like National Flues can reveal these add-ons, ensuring your system remains fully optimised.
Maintenance and Safety
Regular maintenance not only preserves the appearance of your flue neck but also guarantees continued safety. Experts recommend an annual inspection and cleaning schedule, especially for solid fuel applications. By doing so, you ensure that any emerging issues are quickly addressed, safeguarding your property. Additionally, regular checks help to maintain the efficiency of the entire heating system.
