Product Description

125mm Traditional Stove Adaptor Vitreous Enamel – 67-125-005

The 125mm Traditional Stove Adaptor Vitreous Enamel connects an oversized traditional stove spigot to compatible 125mm VIT-Smooth flue components.

The lower end fits inside the stove spigot. A competent installer can then secure and seal the connection with suitable stove rope and fire cement. Meanwhile, the female upper end accepts compatible 125mm connecting flue components.

VIT-Smooth makes this adaptor from strong 1.2mm zero-carbon steel. In addition, the internal and external vitreous enamel coating provides a durable matt-black finish that complements many traditional and modern stoves.

What Is a Traditional Stove Adaptor Used For?

Some traditional stoves have an oversized socket or spigot that cannot connect directly to a standard 125mm vitreous enamel pipe. This adaptor creates the correct transition between the stove outlet and compatible connecting flue components.

The adaptor sits inside the stove spigot. After securing and sealing the lower connection, the installer can continue the system from the female upper end with a suitable 125mm component.

However, stove outlets can vary between manufacturers and models. Therefore, always measure the outlet and check the appliance instructions before ordering.

Why Choose VIT-Smooth?

VIT-Smooth uses carefully finished joints and a smooth enamel coating to create a neat appearance. Its deep matt-black colour also matches many UK stoves and visible flue installations.

Furthermore, the 1.2mm steel construction provides a strong base for the enamel. The complete coated thickness measures approximately 1.4mm to 1.5mm.

The enamel covers the internal and external surfaces. As a result, it helps protect the steel against high temperatures, combustion gases and normal corrosion.

Suitable Appliances and Fuels

• Compatible wood-burning stoves
• Compatible multi-fuel stoves
• Suitable solid-fuel appliances
• Suitable oil-fired appliances
• Suitable gas appliances
• Appliances with a compatible traditional 125mm socket or spigot

The appliance manufacturer must allow the proposed connection and flue size. In addition, the complete chimney system must suit the fuel, appliance output and flue-gas temperature.

How Is the Adaptor Installed?

The lower end fits into the compatible stove spigot. The installer can then use suitable heat-resistant stove rope and fire cement to secure and seal this connection.

The female upper end allows the system to continue with compatible 125mm connecting flue components. However, the installer must follow the current VIT-Smooth guidance for every joint in the system.

The installer must also make sure the flue follows the correct direction. This helps keep soot and condensate inside the flue system rather than allowing deposits to escape around the joints.

Important Compatibility Check

This adaptor has 125mm internal connections at the top and bottom. However, a nominally sized stove outlet may have a different actual measurement because of its wall thickness, socket design or manufacturing tolerance.

Therefore, measure the stove outlet carefully before ordering. Also, check whether you need this traditional adaptor, a continental stove adaptor or another type of connector.

Important Installation Restrictions

Do not use this single-wall adaptor or its connecting pipe to pass through a wall, ceiling, roof, loft or concealed void. The installer must change to a suitable insulated chimney system before reaching these areas.

The product has a G375 classification. Therefore, it requires a minimum clearance of 375mm from combustible materials unless an approved installation method states otherwise.

However, the appliance instructions may require a greater clearance. In that case, the installer must always use the greater distance.

Is Stove Rope and Fire Cement Required?

The connection between this adaptor and the traditional stove spigot normally uses suitable heat-resistant rope and fire cement. These materials help accommodate the joint and form a secure seal.

However, requirements can vary between appliances. Therefore, the installer must follow the stove manufacturer’s instructions and use sealing materials that suit the operating temperature.

The upper VIT-Smooth connection may use a different jointing method. For this reason, always follow the current instructions for each component rather than applying one method to every joint.

Inspection and Cleaning

The complete flue system must allow safe inspection and cleaning. Therefore, the installation may need an access door, especially near a bend or change in direction.

Solid-fuel chimneys also need regular sweeping to remove soot and other deposits. The required frequency depends on the fuel, appliance and level of use. Always follow the appliance instructions and use a competent chimney sweep.

Installation Requirements

A competent installer should select and fit the stove adaptor and complete flue system. For solid-fuel appliances, use a HETAS-registered installer or notify Local Authority Building Control where required.

The installer must follow the stove instructions, flue manufacturer’s guidance and current Building Regulations. They must also check the chimney route, ventilation, clearances, termination and sweeping access.

A carbon monoxide alarm must be installed where current regulations require one. However, an alarm does not replace correct installation, regular maintenance or chimney sweeping.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this traditional stove adaptor do?

It connects an oversized traditional stove spigot to compatible 125mm VIT-Smooth components. Its female upper end allows the connecting flue system to continue above the stove.

What size is the adaptor?

The adaptor has a nominal 125mm or 5-inch size. Both the lower and upper internal measurements are listed as 125mm.

Will it fit every 125mm stove outlet?

No. Stove outlet shapes and actual dimensions can vary. Therefore, measure the outlet and check the appliance instructions before ordering.

What is the difference between a traditional and continental stove adaptor?

A traditional adaptor suits an oversized traditional socket or spigot. A continental adaptor normally suits a different outlet arrangement and may have a reduced lower diameter. Therefore, accurate measurements are essential.

Does the adaptor require fire cement?

The lower connection normally uses suitable stove rope and fire cement. However, the exact method must follow the stove manufacturer’s instructions and the installer’s assessment.

What is the maximum temperature rating?

The adaptor has a T600 classification. Therefore, its maximum continuous operating temperature class is 600°C.

How far must it be from combustible materials?

The G375 classification requires a minimum clearance of 375mm. However, always use any greater distance required by the stove or installation instructions.

Can this adaptor pass through a wall or ceiling?

No. This is a single-wall connecting component. It must not pass through walls, ceilings, roofs, lofts or concealed areas.

Can I connect twin-wall flue directly to this adaptor?

Only if the twin-wall manufacturer provides a compatible and approved transition component. Never force components from different systems together without confirming compatibility.

Who should install this stove adaptor?

A competent installer should fit it. For a solid-fuel installation, a HETAS-registered installer can complete and certify the work where the scheme applies.
