What Is a Traditional Stove Adaptor?

A traditional stove adaptor connects an appliance outlet to a different type of stove-pipe joint.

Some traditional stoves use a large socket-style spigot. As a result, a standard VIT-Smooth pipe may not connect directly to the appliance.

This adaptor solves that problem. First, the lower end fits inside the compatible stove spigot. Next, the installer packs and seals the connection with suitable stove rope and fire cement.

The female socket at the top then accepts a standard male-ended VIT-Smooth component. Therefore, the installer can continue the flue route with compatible 150mm pipes, bends or access fittings.

When Do You Need This Stove Adaptor?

You may need this adaptor when a stove has a traditional oversized spigot that cannot accept a standard 150mm VIT-Smooth connection.

For example, you may need model 67-150-005 when:

• The stove has a traditional socket-style outlet
• The appliance spigot is larger than a standard pipe connection
• A standard VIT-Smooth pipe will not fit the stove outlet
• You want to change from traditional enamel pipe to VIT-Smooth
• You need a female socket above the appliance
• You are replacing an older traditional stove-pipe system

However, the word “150mm” only describes the nominal flue size. It does not guarantee that the adaptor will fit every 150mm stove spigot. Therefore, measure the appliance outlet before ordering.

How Does the Adaptor Connect?

The adaptor uses two different connection methods.

Connection to the Stove

The lower end fits inside the compatible stove spigot. The installer then uses suitable stove rope and fire cement to secure and seal the joint.

The rope fills the space between the adaptor and spigot. Meanwhile, the fire cement helps seal the connection against combustion gases.

Connection to VIT-Smooth Pipe

The upper end provides a female VIT-Smooth socket. Therefore, the male end of the next compatible pipe or fitting points downwards and fits into the adaptor.

This connection maintains the correct male-end-down arrangement. As a result, condensates and combustion deposits remain inside the flue route.

Traditional Adaptor vs Continental Stove Adaptor

Feature	Traditional Stove Adaptor	Continental Stove Adaptor
Typical appliance outlet	Traditional oversized socket or spigot	Alternative European-style outlet
Stove connection	Fits inside a compatible spigot	Depends on the appliance outlet profile
Jointing method	Stove rope and fire cement	Follow the adaptor and appliance instructions
Upper connection	Female VIT-Smooth socket	Compatible VIT-Smooth connection
Selection method	Measure the traditional stove spigot	Measure and identify the appliance outlet

Do not choose an adaptor from the nominal flue size alone. Instead, measure the appliance spigot and check its connection style.

Why Measure the Stove Spigot?

Stove manufacturers use several outlet sizes and joint profiles. Therefore, two appliances with a nominal 150mm flue may not have identical spigots.

Before ordering, check:

• The internal diameter of the stove spigot
• The external diameter of the stove spigot
• The depth of the available socket
• Whether the adaptor must fit inside or outside the outlet
• The flue diameter stated in the appliance instructions
• The jointing method required by the stove manufacturer

In addition, check whether the appliance uses a top or rear outlet. The proposed flue route must suit the chosen outlet position.

If you are unsure, call SNH Tradecentre before ordering. The appliance make, model and clear outlet measurements will help our team identify the correct adaptor.

Why Choose VIT-Smooth?

VIT-Smooth combines strong steel with an attractive matt-black enamel finish. As a result, it provides both strength and a clean appearance.

During production, the manufacturer carefully finishes the welded areas before adding the enamel. Therefore, the finished components show fewer visible weld lines than many standard black stove pipes.

The manufacturer uses 1.2mm zero-carbon steel and adds approximately 0.2mm of powder vitreous enamel. Together, these layers create an approximate total thickness of 1.4mm.

Furthermore, the enamel covers the inside and outside of the adaptor. It helps protect the steel against heat, combustion gases and corrosive deposits.

Finally, the deep matt-black finish matches other VIT-Smooth pipes, bends, tees and access components. It also complements most traditional and modern stoves.

General Installation Guide

Always follow the stove and VIT-Smooth instructions. However, the following steps explain the basic connection:

1. Check the appliance: First, confirm the stove model, outlet size and required flue diameter.
2. Measure the spigot: Next, check that the adaptor fits inside the appliance outlet with room for the correct seal.
3. Clean the outlet: Remove old cement, soot and loose material from the stove spigot.
4. Check the adaptor: Inspect the enamel and steel for damage before installation.
5. Fit the stove rope: Use the rope size and arrangement stated in the appliance instructions.
6. Insert the adaptor: Place the lower end centrally inside the stove spigot.
7. Apply fire cement: Seal the stove connection with a suitable high-temperature fire cement.
8. Check the position: Keep the adaptor straight and correctly seated while the cement sets.
9. Connect the flue: Insert the male end of the next VIT-Smooth component into the upper female socket.
10. Inspect the joint: Finally, check the complete connection before using the appliance.

Do not use the appliance until the fire cement has cured in line with its instructions.

Choosing Stove Rope and Fire Cement

The correct rope size depends on the gap between the adaptor and the stove spigot. Therefore, measure the gap and follow the appliance manufacturer’s instructions.

Rope that is too thin may not fill the space. In contrast, rope that is too thick may stop the adaptor from sitting correctly.

Use a fire cement that suits solid-fuel appliances and the expected operating temperature. In addition, prepare the surfaces as the cement manufacturer directs.

Do not rely on ordinary household silicone, general-purpose sealant or low-temperature adhesive. These products may fail when the stove heats up.

Correct Flue Direction

The adaptor’s upper female socket accepts the male end of the next VIT-Smooth component. Therefore, the smaller male end points downwards towards the appliance.

This layout helps keep condensates and combustion deposits inside the flue. As a result, it reduces the risk of staining around the outside of the joint.

Do not turn standard VIT-Smooth components upside down to create another connection type. Instead, use the correct adaptor for the appliance and flue system.

Jointing the Upper VIT-Smooth Connection

VIT-Smooth components use close-fitting friction joints. Therefore, the standard pipe connections do not need fire clay.

However, the connection inside the stove spigot differs. That joint uses suitable stove rope and fire cement because it must fill and seal the space around the adaptor.

Always follow the latest appliance and VIT-Smooth instructions. If those instructions allow an extra jointing compound on the upper pipe connection, use only a suitable high-temperature product.

Can You Cut the Stove Adaptor?

A stove adaptor should normally remain at its original size. Cutting may remove a formed connection or prevent the adaptor from fitting the stove correctly.

Furthermore, cutting vitreous enamel can chip the coating and expose the steel. Therefore, use a suitable fixed or adjustable pipe to change the flue height.

If the manufacturer allows an alteration, protect every exposed steel edge with high-temperature stove paint. However, never alter the adaptor in a way that weakens the stove connection.

Important Installation and Safety Information

Use this adaptor only as part of a single-wall connecting flue. It should connect a compatible appliance to a chimney, flexible liner or insulated twin-wall system.

Never run this single-wall adaptor or adjoining VIT-Smooth pipe through a wall, ceiling, floor, roof, cupboard or concealed space. Instead, use a suitable insulated chimney system wherever the flue passes through the building.

Keep at least 450mm between the single-wall flue and combustible materials. The G450 designation confirms this declared distance for the 150mm system.

For example, combustible materials may include timber, furniture, wall coverings and some plasterboard structures.

Do not assume that plasterboard creates a safe non-combustible barrier. It may cover timber battens or another combustible structure.

Furthermore, follow any greater clearance stated in the appliance instructions. The highest clearance requirement always takes priority.

The stove outlet must not carry the full weight of the chimney. Therefore, use suitable supports to prevent excess weight or sideways force.

Finally, ask a competent installer to design and fit the system. For solid-fuel work, consider using a HETAS-registered installer. Alternatively, contact Building Control where required.

Inspection and Maintenance

Check the adaptor and stove connection during each chimney service. In particular, inspect the fire cement for cracks, gaps or movement.

Also, check the adjoining VIT-Smooth joint for corrosion, distortion or enamel damage.

Arrange regular chimney sweeping. The correct frequency will depend on the appliance, fuel, level of use and chimney condition.

Finally, stop using the appliance if the adaptor becomes loose or combustion gases escape from the joint. Ask a competent person to repair the connection before further use.
