The VIT-Smooth 45° Elbow - Ø 175mm is engineered for optimal performance with gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances, withstanding temperatures up to 600°C. Crafted from zero carbon steel, this connecting pipe is coated with powder vitreous enamel in a sophisticated matte black finish, ensuring both durability and aesthetics. Ideal for linking your appliance to a Flue Liner, Chimney Stack, or Twin Wall Flue System, the VIT-Smooth pipe is not suitable for installation through ceilings or combustible walls.
Installation requires careful attention to orientation, with the smaller diameter pointing downward to retain condensates within the flue system. While friction fit joints negate the need for sealing, an optional jointing compound can enhance security. The VIT-Smooth is designed to be cut, though exposed steel must be painted with high-temperature paint to prevent rusting.
Regular maintenance, including annual chimney sweeping for solid fuel appliances, ensures optimal operation. For ease of inspection and cleaning, consider incorporating access doors in your setup.

When installing the VIT-Smooth 45° Elbow, ensure that the smaller diameter is positioned downward to retain condensates within the flue system. Avoid routing the pipe through ceilings or combustible walls as this can compromise safety. The friction fit joints provide a secure connection without the need for sealing; however, for added security, an optional jointing compound (such as fire cement or high-temperature silicone sealant) is recommended. In cases where the pipe is cut, immediately apply high-temperature paint to any exposed steel to prevent corrosion. Additionally, consider incorporating optional access doors into your setup to facilitate easy inspection and cleaning, thereby maintaining peak performance over time.

Comprehensive Buyers Guide for the VIT-Smooth 45° Elbow - Ø 175mm
The VIT-Smooth 45° Elbow is engineered for excellence in modern heating systems, ensuring optimal performance when connecting your appliance to any compatible flue system, such as flue liners, chimney stacks, or twin wall flue systems. This guide will walk you through the unique features of this product, address common concerns, and explain how optional accessories can further enhance your complete heating installation.
Understanding the Product
The VIT-Smooth 45° Elbow is manufactured using zero carbon steel, which provides the structural integrity necessary for high-performance heating systems. The high-quality steel, coupled with a durable powder enamel coating, ensures longevity and resistance against high temperatures up to 600°C. This makes it ideal for use with gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances. In addition, the sleek matte black finish not only provides aesthetic appeal but also ensures that the product remains resistant to external wear and tear.
Key Features and Benefits

- Superior Heat Resistance: Designed to operate efficiently at temperatures up to 600°C, the product maintains its integrity under extreme conditions, making it a reliable choice for a variety of heating appliances.
- Sleek Aesthetic: The matte black finish, achieved through powder enamel coating, complements modern heating systems and adds a touch of sophistication to your installation.

- Optional Accessories: To maximise performance, consider adding optional accessories such as jointing compounds and access doors. Jointing compounds can reinforce the friction fit joints, while access doors allow for inspector-friendly maintenance and routine cleaning of your flue system.
Installation Guidance and Safety
When installing the VIT-Smooth 45° Elbow, it is important to observe the correct orientation—ensure that the smaller diameter is pointing downward. This orientation is essential to retain condensates, ensuring that your flue system functions efficiently. Please note that the product should not be used to pass through ceilings or combustible walls, as safety remains paramount. In cases where the pipe is cut to size, promptly apply a high-temperature paint to the exposed steel to prevent rust and structural degradation.

Is the VIT-Smooth Elbow Compatible with My Heating Appliance?
Absolutely. It is designed for a wide range of appliances including gas, oil, and solid fuel components. Its high temperature tolerance and robust construction ensure a safe and effective connection.
How Important Are the Optional Accessories?

These accessories offer extra peace of mind, ensuring that both the installation and subsequent servicing are carried out with ease.
What If My Installation Requirements Change?
The flexibility of this product allows it to be cut and customised to suit your specific installation needs. Just be mindful that any exposed sections must be treated with high-temperature paint to maintain the product’s durability and appearance.
How Do I Ensure Longevity of the System?
Regular maintenance is key. Ensure that your system is inspected and cleaned annually, particularly where solid fuel appliances are concerned. The option to add access doors during installation makes routine checks simpler, maximizing the life and efficiency of the overall system.
