Product Description

150mm Vitreous Enamel Continental Stove Adaptor

Model: 67-150-001

Connect a continental-style stove outlet to a standard 150mm VIT-Smooth flue with the 150mm Vitreous Enamel Stove Adaptor. The adaptor changes from an approximate 139mm internal lower connection to a 150mm internal upper connection.

Therefore, it provides a neat transition between a compatible stove spigot and 150mm (6-inch) connecting flue pipe. In addition, its smooth matt-black finish complements both modern and traditional stoves.

Always measure the appliance outlet before ordering. Stove spigots can vary, even when the appliance manufacturer describes them as the same nominal size.

What Is a Continental Stove Adaptor?

Some European and continental-style stoves use an outlet spigot that does not connect directly to standard 150mm stove pipe. This adaptor creates the required transition between that stove outlet and a compatible 150mm VIT-Smooth flue.

The lower opening has an approximate internal diameter of 139mm. Meanwhile, the upper opening provides a 150mm internal connection for the continuing flue route.

However, this product is not a universal adaptor. Therefore, check the exact stove outlet size, connection direction and sealing method before ordering.

Connection Sizes

Adaptor Connection	Internal Diameter	Purpose
Lower connection	Approximately 139mm	Connects to a compatible continental-style stove spigot
Upper connection	150mm	Connects to compatible 150mm VIT-Smooth pipework

Measure the outside and inside diameter of the stove spigot before ordering. Also, check whether the appliance instructions require the adaptor to fit inside or outside the outlet.

Check Your Stove Spigot Before Ordering

First, allow the stove to cool completely. Next, measure the outlet across its widest point with an accurate tape or calliper. Finally, compare the measurement with the adaptor and appliance instructions.

Do not rely only on a nominal 150mm or 6-inch description. Manufacturing tolerances and outlet designs can vary between stove brands and models.

Furthermore, check whether the stove requires a standard adaptor, a continental adaptor or a traditional socket-and-spigot adaptor. Choosing the correct type will help create a secure and tidy connection.

Why Choose VIT-Smooth?

VIT-Smooth provides a high-quality alternative to basic welded black stove pipe. The production process creates neat joints and a smooth, consistent finish. Consequently, the completed stove installation looks clean and professional.

The manufacturer forms the adaptor from 1.2mm zero-carbon steel. It then adds approximately 0.2mm of powder vitreous enamel. Together, the steel and enamel create a total finished thickness of approximately 1.4mm.

Furthermore, VIT-Smooth coats both the inside and outside of the component. The internal enamel helps resist heat and corrosive combustion products. Meanwhile, the external enamel creates a deep matt-black finish that matches most UK stoves.

Suitable Appliances and Flue Systems

You can use this adaptor with compatible gas, oil and solid-fuel appliances that have a suitable continental-style outlet. These may include wood-burning stoves, multifuel stoves and other domestic heating appliances.

However, always check the appliance instructions first. The stove manufacturer will state the required outlet connection, flue diameter and temperature classification.

The adaptor can help connect the appliance to a route leading to:

• A suitable masonry chimney
• An approved flexible chimney liner
• A compatible flue-liner adaptor
• An insulated twin-wall flue system
• Matching 150mm VIT-Smooth components

Application

This adaptor forms the transition between a compatible appliance spigot and a 150mm single-wall connecting flue. It should sit within the visible connecting section between the stove and the main chimney system.

The product carries a T600 temperature classification. Therefore, it has a nominal maximum continuous flue-gas temperature classification of 600°C.

Never use this adaptor or single-wall vitreous enamel stove pipe to pass through walls, ceilings, floors, roofs, cupboards or concealed spaces. Instead, use a suitable tested and insulated chimney system wherever the flue passes through the building structure.

Installing the Stove Adaptor

First, confirm that the lower 139mm internal opening suits the stove spigot. Next, check the required connection direction. Then fit and seal the adaptor according to the appliance manufacturer’s instructions.

The upper 150mm connection allows you to continue with compatible VIT-Smooth pipework. Fit the continuing pipe with its male or smaller-diameter end pointing downwards towards the appliance.

This orientation keeps condensates and combustion deposits inside the flue system. As a result, they remain inside the pipe instead of leaking onto the outside of a joint.

Finally, support the flue route correctly. The pipework should not place excessive weight or sideways force on the adaptor or stove outlet.

Sealing the Connection to the Stove

Although VIT-Smooth pipework uses friction-fit joints, the connection directly to the stove may require an additional seal. For example, the appliance manufacturer may specify fire rope, fire cement or another approved high-temperature product.

Therefore, do not assume that the stove connection needs no seal simply because the upper VIT-Smooth joint uses a friction fit.

Use only products approved for stove and flue applications. Never use ordinary household silicone because it may not withstand the temperature at the appliance outlet.

Can the Adaptor Be Cut?

Avoid cutting the adaptor wherever possible. Cutting may chip the enamel, expose the steel or remove one of the formed connection ends.

Instead, use compatible standard or adjustable pipework above the adaptor to achieve the required installation height.

If the manufacturer permits an alteration, protect every exposed steel edge with suitable high-temperature paint. Furthermore, make sure the modified adaptor still forms a safe and secure connection.

Clearance from Combustible Materials

This adaptor has a declared minimum distance of 450mm from combustible materials. Combustible materials may include timber, furniture, curtains and heat-sensitive building products.

In addition, do not automatically treat plasterboard as non-combustible. It may cover timber studs or form part of a combustible wall structure.

The appliance or another flue component may require a greater clearance. If the requirements differ, always follow the greatest stated distance.

Installation Safety

Before installation, confirm the stove-spigot measurements and check the complete flue route. Also, make sure every component has a compatible diameter, temperature class and fuel classification.

The completed installation must follow the appliance instructions, flue-system instructions, current Building Regulations and all relevant standards.

Therefore, we recommend using a suitably competent installer. For solid-fuel appliances, this may include a HETAS-registered installer.

Inspection and Maintenance

Check the adaptor and adjoining joints regularly. Look for movement, damaged enamel, staining, corrosion or signs of leakage.

In addition, make sure the complete flue system provides suitable inspection and sweeping access. An access-door pipe, doored elbow or inspection tee may help where the route changes direction.

Only clean the external enamel after the adaptor has cooled completely. Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh chemicals because they may damage the matt-black finish.

Finally, replace the adaptor if it becomes badly damaged, distorted, corroded or insecure.
