The VIT-Smooth 90° Elbow with Access Door in a 125mm diameter is engineered for efficiency and reliability. This single-skin connecting flue system is crafted from zero carbon steel and coated with a durable powder vitreous enamel in a sleek, matt black finish. It is suitable for various appliances including gas, oil, and solid fuel, withstanding temperatures up to 600°C.
Designed exclusively for use as a connecting pipe between your appliance and either a Flue Liner, Chimney Stack, or Twin Wall Flue System, the VIT-Smooth is not intended for passing through ceilings or combustible walls.When installing, ensure that the VIT-Smooth pipe is oriented correctly with the smaller diameter pointing downward. This design helps to keep condensates contained within the system, preventing any leakage that could tarnish its appearance. While the VIT-Smooth features a friction fit joint that generally requires no sealing, you may opt to use a jointing compound, such as fire cement or high-temperature silicone sealant, for added security.
Important to note, if the pipe needs to be cut, cover any exposed steel with high-temperature paint to prevent rusting over time. Please remember to maintain a safe distance of 375mm from any combustible materials such as wood or plasterboards when installing.Maintenance is straightforward with the built-in access door, making it easy to sweep and clean the chimney, particularly important for solid fuel applications. Regular inspection and annual sweeping are recommended to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

When installing the VIT-Smooth 90° Elbow, ensure the smaller diameter is oriented downward to collect condensates. This pipe is strictly for use as a connecting piece between your appliance and a Flue Liner, Chimney Stack, or Twin Wall Flue System, and must not pass through ceilings or combustible walls. The friction fit joint typically secures the connection without additional sealing; however, you may opt for a fire cement or high-temperature silicone sealant for enhanced safety. If cutting the pipe is necessary, immediately cover any exposed steel with high-temperature paint to mitigate rust risk. Always maintain a minimum clearance of 375mm from combustibles such as wood or plasterboard to comply with safety standards. For optimum performance and longevity, conduct regular sweeps and inspections of the flue system.

Introduction
When it comes to ensuring a safe and efficient installation of your heating appliance, the selection of the right flue components is paramount. The VIT-Smooth 90° Elbow with Access Door, Ø 125mm, from National Flues, stands out as a superb option for connecting your appliance to your flue system. In this comprehensive buyer’s guide, we will explore every aspect of this product, from its robust construction and design features to its installation requirements and long-term benefits. Additionally, we discuss optional accessories and related products that can further optimise your setup, making it easier to achieve a highly performing and safe flue system.
Product Overview
The VIT-Smooth 90° Elbow is engineered using zero carbon steel, ensuring outstanding durability even under the extreme temperatures reached by solid fuel, oil, and gas appliances. Its powder enamel coating not only offers a contemporary matt black finish but also provides resistance against high-temperature corrosion. The inclusion of an access door permits effortless cleaning and maintenance, which is a crucial feature for guaranteeing the efficient operation of your heating appliance. This product is ideal for both new installations and refurbishments.
Key Features and Their Benefits
Durable Construction:
- Made from high-grade zero carbon steel that stands up to the rigours of continuous use, ensuring longevity.
Elegant and Protective Coating:
- The powder enamel finish serves a dual purpose: it is visually appealing and utilises an extra layer of protection against environmental wear and tear, which is essential for outdoor installations.
Versatility:
- Suitable for various fuel types, including gas, oil, and solid fuel. This flexibility makes it an excellent choice for virtually any heating system.
Innovative Maintenance Access:
- The built-in access door provides straightforward access for cleaning, important for maintaining an unobstructed flue system. This feature helps in reducing the risk of soot and creosote build-up.
Safety Considerations:
- With careful attention to orientation and installation, this elbow ensures that condensates remain in the pipe, mitigating the risk of leakage and damage to the decorative finish.
Installation Guidelines
Proper installation is critical to the performance of any flue component. The VIT-Smooth 90° Elbow must be installed with precaution:
- Orientation: Always ensure that the smaller end of the elbow is pointing downwards. This design maximises the natural flow of condensate, preventing spillage that could lead to rust or unsightly marks.
- Call for Assistance: It may be beneficial to use approved jointing compounds like fire cement or high-temperature silicone sealants for additional security in high-stress installations.
- Cutting and Finishing: In instances where your installation requires the elbow to be cut to a custom length, immediately cover any exposed metal with high-temperature paint to prevent corrosion.
- Safety Clearance: Maintaining a clearance of at least 375mm from any combustible material is essential to prevent fire-related hazards.
Optional Accessories and Complementary Products
While the VIT-Smooth 90° Elbow is an excellent standalone piece, consider additional accessories that can enhance the performance and safety of your overall flue system. Options such as jointing compounds, high-temperature sealants, or supplementary chimney cleaning tools can ensure a more secure and long-lasting installation. Explore our extensive range of flue accessories to tailor your setup to match your specific requirements.
Addressing Common Objections
One common concern with any flue installation is the potential for condensation and leakage. The design of this elbow—with its downward-pointing smaller diameter—takes this into account, ensuring that condensates are efficiently collected and contained within the system. Moreover, some users worry about the need for constant maintenance; however, the integrated access door simplifies chimney cleaning and routine inspections. This means that maintaining your system becomes less of a chore and more of an assurance of prolonged appliance performance.
Another point of hesitation might be compatibility with your existing setup. The VIT-Smooth is meticulously designed to be versatile. It can connect seamlessly with Flue Liners, Chimney Stacks, or Twin Wall Flue Systems. The robust construction coupled with stringent safety features minimizes any concerns regarding long-term durability or performance in different operational environments.
