The VIT-Smooth 45°/135° Elbow Ø 125mm is a premium connecting pipe designed for gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances that reach temperatures up to 600°C. Constructed from zero-carbon steel with a powder vitreous enamel coating, it boasts a sleek matt black finish. This single-skin flue segment is exclusively intended for use as a connecting pipe between your appliance and the flue liner, chimney stack, or twin wall flue system.
It's essential to note that VIT-Smooth pipes should not pass through ceilings or combustible walls.For optimal installation, maintain a minimum distance of 375mm from any combustible materials. Ensure the smaller diameter is always pointing downward to prevent condensate from escaping the flue system. Though VIT-Smooth features friction fit joints that don't require sealing, jointing compounds like fire cement or high-temperature silicone sealant can be used for extra security.
The pipes can be cut to size, but any exposed steel must be covered with high-temperature paint to prevent rusting over time. PPE is essential during installation to maintain safety. For maintenance, particularly in solid fuel applications, install an access door at changes of direction to facilitate chimney inspection and cleaning.

VIT-Smooth Buyer’s Guide: Maximising Efficiency and Safety for Your Flue System
When it comes to selecting the right components for your heating system, every detail matters. The VIT-Smooth Smooth 45°/135° Elbow Ø 125mm is not just another flue accessory – it is a thoughtfully engineered solution designed to ensure safe and efficient performance in a range of appliances. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the features, benefits, installation tips, and optional accessories that can help you get the most out of your flue system.
Introduction
The flue system is the unsung hero of any heating appliance, channeling exhaust gases safely away from your living space. With temperatures reaching up to 600°C in solid fuel, oil, or gas appliances, the choice of flue components can greatly influence system efficiency and safety. This is why the VIT-Smooth Elbow is an essential component in ensuring a dependable connection between your appliance and the flue liner, chimney stack, or twin wall flue systems. Designed for durability and ease-of-installation, this product is engineered to meet stringent safety standards, including EN1856-2 T600 N1 Vm L80120 G375.
Product Overview and Key Features
At its core, the VIT-Smooth Elbow is crafted from high-quality Zero Carbon Steel, ensuring that it can withstand the rigours of high operating temperatures and the demands of frequent usage. The powder enamel coating not only gives it an attractive matt black finish but also adds an extra layer of protection against corrosion. This elbow is available in a 45°/135° configuration, providing flexibility in layout and installation, which can be critical when working with limited space or irregular flue paths.
Key Advantages Include:
• A friction fit design that simplifies installation – saving you time and reducing labour costs.
• The option to use jointing compounds such as fire cement or high-temperature silicone sealant, if you desire enhanced sealing.
• Compliance with industry safety standards, ensuring reliable, long-term performance.
Installation and Maintenance
Installing the VIT-Smooth Elbow is straightforward when you follow the recommended guidelines. First, pay careful attention to the orientation: always ensure that the smaller diameter faces downward. This configuration is vital to prevent any condensate from re-entering the system, which can lead to inefficient performance or even damage over time. Additionally, it is crucial to ensure that there is a minimum clearance of 375mm from any combustible materials. This extra distance is a safety precaution designed to protect your property.
For those who prefer a more secure fit, although the friction fit joints negates the need for any additional sealants, you always have the option of applying high-temperature sealants for added peace of mind. If you need to cut the pipe to your desired length, remember to cover any exposed steel with a high-temperature paint. This will not only maintain the product’s aesthetic appeal but also prevent rust and corrosion in the long term.
Regular maintenance is equally important in preserving the performance of your flue system. If you are using the setup for solid fuel appliances, consider installing an access door at directional changes to facilitate periodic inspections and cleaning. By prioritising safety and routine checks, you ensure that your heating system continues to operate efficiently year after year.
Safety Considerations
Safety is paramount when installing and operating any heating system. The VIT-Smooth Elbow is built with high safety standards in mind, as indicated by its certification under EN1856-2 T600 N1 Vm L80120 G375. However, safety during installation and usage is also your responsibility. Always adhere to the guidelines provided by the manufacturer. This includes maintaining the required distance from combustible materials and ensuring that no part of the flue – including fittings and joints – comes into direct contact with flammable surfaces.
Important Reminders:
• Always wear the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) during installation.
• Confirm that all modifications or cuts to the flue are properly finished with a high-temperature resistant coating.
• Do not attempt to run the flue through ceilings or combustible walls as this could compromise structural integrity and safety.
Optional Accessories and Enhancements
In addition to the VIT-Smooth Elbow, there are several optional accessories available that can further enhance the performance and adaptability of your flue system. Accessories such as high-temperature sealants, additional jointing compounds, and extra high-temperature paint are all designed to work in harmony with your flue components. These accessories not only provide additional layers of protection but also ensure that your flue system performs optimally under various conditions.
When considering optional accessories, it is advisable to review both manufacturer guidelines and safety protocols. This will help you choose the right accessories that align with your system’s requirements while safeguarding the overall integrity of your installation. Search for compatible jointing compounds or fire cement that are tailored for high-temperature applications, or consider investing in a trusted brand of high-temperature paint for those exposed sections of the flue that have been cut to size.
Final Thoughts
Choosing the right components for your heating system is critical to ensuring both performance and safety. The VIT-Smooth Smooth 45°/135° Elbow Ø 125mm from National Flues represents a smart investment in quality and reliability. With its premium materials, expert design, and adherence to rigorous safety standards, it provides an excellent solution for connecting your appliance to its flue system.
