The VIT-Smooth 90° Elbow - Ø 175mm is an essential component for creating a seamless connection in your flue system. Crafted from zero carbon steel and finished with a durable powder vitreous enamel in matt black, this single-skin connector is designed for gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances operating at temperatures up to 600°C. Ideal as a connecting pipe between your appliance and the Flue Liner, Chimney Stack, or Twin Wall Flue System, the VIT-Smooth should never be used to pass through ceilings or combustible walls.
Easy to install, this friction-fit joint does not require sealing, though jointing compound can be used for extra security. It is designed to be cut to length, but any exposed steel must be protected with high-temperature paint to prevent rust. Maintenance is straightforward, particularly for solid fuel applications, where regular inspection and cleaning are crucial.
For direction changes, access doors can be added. Always wear appropriate PPE during installation.

Comprehensive Buyers Guide for the VIT-Smooth 90° Elbow - Ø 175mm
Creating a safe, reliable, and efficient flue system is paramount for any heating installation. The VIT-Smooth 90° Elbow is an integral component that can make all the difference in ensuring a seamless connection between your appliance and the flue system. Below is a detailed guide to help you understand the benefits, installation procedures, and additional accessories that can further optimise your setup.
Overview of the VIT-Smooth 90° Elbow
The VIT-Smooth 90° Elbow is engineered from premium Zero Carbon Steel. This material not only provides superior strength but also ensures long-lasting durability—even under continuous exposure to high temperatures up to 600°C. Finished in a sleek matt black with a robust Powder Enamel coating, this flue connector is designed for both functionality and visual appeal. Whether you are installing a flue for a gas, oil, or solid fuel appliance, this elbow ensures efficient redirection of exhaust gases while maintaining safety.
Key Benefits and Features
- Robust Construction: Built from Zero Carbon Steel, it offers excellent resistance to wear and heavy use, ensuring that your flue system remains sturdy over the years.
- Protective Coating: The Powder Enamel finish not only looks attractive but also serves as a protective barrier against rust and corrosion, extending the product's lifespan.
- Efficient Design: The 90° bend of this elbow is meticulously designed to facilitate smooth directional changes in your flue layout, making it particularly useful in compact or uniquely shaped installations.
- Easy Assembly: With a friction-fit design, installation is straightforward. Optional jointing compounds can be added for additional security, allowing for a customised fit tailored to your needs.
- Safety and Compliance: Meeting the stringent EN1856-2 T600 N1 Vm L80120 G540 standards, the product is engineered to maintain safe clearances from combustible materials.
Installation Considerations
Before beginning your installation, be sure to consult the relevant safety guidelines and local building regulations. Here are a few key points to keep in mind:
1. Personal Safety: Always use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and eye protection when working with flue systems. The installation process can involve sharp edges and high temperatures, so your safety is priority.
2. Friction-Fit Benefits: The VIT-Smooth 90° Elbow is designed for a friction-fit assembly. This feature simplifies the connection process, requiring no additional sealing compounds under normal circumstances. However, if your installation experiences movement or vibration, an extra layer of jointing compound, like high-temperature silicone sealant, can provide further security.
3. Cutting and Finishing: If the elbow must be cut to fit your specific installation, ensure that any newly exposed steel is promptly treated with high-temperature paint. This step is crucial in preventing oxidation and corrosion, thereby preserving the integrity of the component.
4. Clearance Requirements: The elbow must not be installed to pass through ceilings or combustible walls. Maintaining the proper clearance (540mm from combustible materials) is essential to ensure safe operation.
Optional Accessories for a Complete Flue System
Maximising the performance of your flue system often involves integrating a range of complementary accessories. National Flues offers several products that can work alongside the VIT-Smooth 90° Elbow to enhance functionality and safety:
- Flue Liners: Ensure a consistent internal surface for improved draft and reduced corrosion.
- Jointing Compounds: Employ high-temperature sealants to secure connections, especially in areas prone to movement.
- High-Temperature Paints: Use these to treat any exposed metals, maintaining the protective barriers against moisture and rust.
- Access Doors: Facilitate easy inspection and cleaning of your flue system, ensuring it remains free of soot and debris.
These optional accessories not only create a more integrated system but also offer a range of benefits, from improved thermal efficiency to enhanced longevity and safety. By pairing these products with the VIT-Smooth 90° Elbow, you can be confident that your installation meets the highest industry standards.
Addressing Common Concerns
Investing in flue components is a serious decision. Some common concerns include the ease of installation, long-term durability, and compliance with safety standards. Let’s address these points:
Installation Complexity: The friction-fit design simplifies the assembly process. Even if you choose to use additional jointing compounds, the process remains straightforward and manageable for both seasoned professionals and handy homeowners.
Durability and Maintenance: With its robust materials and protective coating, the VIT-Smooth is built to last. Regular inspections and maintenance—especially for solid fuel systems—will ensure that the system operates efficiently over time.
Compliance and Safety: With adherence to EN1856-2 standards and emphasised clearance from combustibles, this product provides peace of mind by aligning with rigorous safety protocols.

Moreover, exploring our range of optional accessories can further enhance the functionality and safety of your setup.
