The VIT-Smooth 45° Elbow - Ø 100mm is a high-quality connecting flue pipe designed for gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances with temperatures up to 600°C. Perfect for creating smooth bends in your flue system, this single-skin pipe is crafted from zero-carbon steel and finished with a powder vitreous enamel in a sleek matt black. Ideal as a connecting pipe between your appliance and Flue Liner, Chimney Stack, or Twin Wall Flue System, VIT-Smooth should not be used to pass through ceilings or combustible walls.When installing, ensure no piece of VIT-Smooth is within 375mm of combustible materials like wood or plasterboard.
The smaller diameter of the pipe should always point downward to contain condensates within the flue system. The friction-fit joints do not require sealing, though jointing compounds (fire cement or high-temperature silicone sealant) can be used for added security. If you cut the VIT-Smooth, cover any exposed steel with high-temperature paint to prevent rusting.Regular maintenance, including inspection and cleaning of your chimney, is especially crucial for solid fuel applications.
Consider installing VIT-Smooth with access doors at changes of direction for easier maintenance. Regular chimney sweeping, at least once a year, is advisable for solid fuel appliances.

• Always install the VIT-Smooth 45° Elbow with the smaller diameter pointing downward to effectively manage condensates.
• Ensure that every section of the flue, including the elbow, is positioned no closer than 375mm to any combustible materials such as wood or plasterboard.
• Although friction-fit joints do not require sealing, it is advisable to use jointing compounds (fire cement or high-temperature silicone sealant) for additional security, especially in high-vibration environments.
• If cutting is necessary, cover any newly exposed steel surfaces with high-temperature paint to prevent rust formation.
• Regular maintenance, including yearly chimney sweeps, is recommended to keep the system running efficiently, especially for solid fuel applications.

The VIT-Smooth 45° Elbow is more than just another connecting pipe; it is a meticulously engineered component designed to offer both high performance and long-lasting durability. Manufactured from zero carbon steel, this pipe is ideal for a range of fuel systems including gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances. Its innovative design allows for a smooth 45° transition, ensuring minimal pressure drop and improved flue efficiency.
Key Benefits and Features
Superior Material Quality: The use of zero carbon steel guarantees exceptional resilience against corrosion and wear. This means that the elbow will perform reliably over an extended period, even under continuous exposure to high temperatures up to 600°C.
Elegant and Practical Coating: The pipe is finished with a powder enamel coating in a sleek matt black. This not only offers aesthetic appeal but also serves as a protective layer against thermal stress and environmental wear. It is designed to maintain its finish and functionality despite the harsh conditions often encountered in flue systems.
Optimally Designed Geometry: The smooth 45° bend is engineered to facilitate seamless routing of the flue, ensuring that the flow of gases is efficient and unobstructed. The design reduces turbulence and pressure drops, contributing to the overall effectiveness of your flue system.
User-Friendly Installation Aspects: The VIT-Smooth comes with friction-fit joints that simplify the assembly process, reducing the complexity of flue installations. While these joints are secure by default, the option to use additional jointing compounds offers enhanced security for demanding installations.
High Temperature Durability: With the capability to withstand temperatures up to 600°C, this elbow meets the needs of a broad spectrum of heating appliances, providing a versatile solution for many installations.
Considerations for Installation
When installing the VIT-Smooth 45° Elbow, it is imperative to follow the recommended guidelines. Proper positioning is crucial; the elbow must always be installed with the smaller diameter pointing downwards to help contain condensation. Equally important is maintaining a clearance of at least 375mm from any combustible materials, such as wood and plasterboard, to ensure safety during operation.
Installation can be further enhanced by the use of jointing compounds like fire cement or high-temperature silicone sealant, particularly in areas where additional mechanical security is desired. If any modifications or cuts are necessary during installation, covering exposed steel surfaces with high-temperature paint will prevent rust and prolong the lifespan of the elbow.
Enhancing Your Flue System with Optional Accessories
To optimise the performance and longevity of your flue system, consider exploring complementary accessories. Options such as additional flue liners, access doors for maintenance at change points, and advanced jointing compounds can elevate the overall system performance. These accessories not only enhance safety but also simplify the maintenance process, ensuring minimal downtime and extended service intervals.
Addressing Common Objections
Concern about Installation Complexity: Many customers may worry about the complexity associated with the installation of new flue components. However, the VIT-Smooth features friction-fit joints that are designed to simplify the process. With clear instructions and safety guidelines, most installations can be completed efficiently by professionals or experienced DIY enthusiasts.
Worry about Durability and Maintenance: Given that the flue components are exposed to high temperatures and harsh conditions, durability is a valid concern. The use of high-grade materials such as zero carbon steel combined with a robust powder enamel finish ensures that the product is both resilient and low-maintenance. Regular inspections and routine chimney sweeps, as recommended, further mitigate maintenance concerns.
Compatibility with Existing Systems: Homeowners may question whether the VIT-Smooth is compatible with their existing flue systems. Designed to integrate seamlessly with a variety of flue liners, chimney stacks, and twin wall systems, this product is versatile enough to suit different installation requirements, ensuring a smooth transition regardless of the current setup.
Final Thoughts
Investing in the right flue system components is essential for both safety and efficiency. The VIT-Smooth 45° Elbow - Ø 100mm not only meets stringent quality standards but also provides a host of benefits that ensure optimal performance of your heating appliance. Its robust construction, paired with thoughtful design features, makes it a standout choice for those seeking reliability, longevity, and ease of installation.
In summary, whether you are upgrading an existing system or installing a completely new flue, the VIT-Smooth offers an excellent blend of performance, safety, and aesthetic appeal. The ease of installation combined with the potential for further enhancement through optional accessories means that you can customise your system to meet your specific needs without compromise.
