Flue pipe WADEX D160 2mm 0.25m black with flap

WADEX flue pipe WADEX D160 2mm 0.25m black with flap is a short black flue tube section with a 160 mm nominal diameter, 2 mm wall thickness and a length of 0.25 m. It includes an integrated flap that can close or partially restrict the duct, intended as a connector or short extension piece in venting and exhaust systems for domestic and light commercial heating appliances.

Advantages

The section is made to match standard 160 mm duct systems and its 2 mm steel wall gives mechanical rigidity for a compact installation. The integrated flap provides simple on/off isolation or adjustable restriction without needing additional dampers. Its short length and black finish make it suitable as a visible connector between appliances and longer duct runs while maintaining a low profile.

Suitable for

• Connecting or extending 160 mm diameter flue or exhaust ducts
• Installing a simple isolating flap close to a heating appliance
• Domestic boilers, stoves or light commercial heating units where a short connector is required

When it may not be suitable

This 0.25 m flue pipe is not intended to replace full-length ductwork or act as primary long runs in a ventilation installation; it serves as a short connector or local isolation point. It may be unsuitable where insulation, multi-layer construction, high-temperature refractory lining or specific corrosion-resistant alloys are required by the appliance manufacturer or local regulations.

Key specifications

• Nominal diameter: 160 mm
• Wall thickness: 2 mm
• Length: 0.25 m
• Colour/finish: black
• Feature: integrated closing flap for isolation or restriction
• Intended use: flue/exhaust connector for domestic and light commercial heating appliances

How to use

Fit the WADEX D160 section into the matching 160 mm duct system by inserting or coupling according to the existing duct joint method (slip-fit, clamp or screw connection as used in the installation). Position the integrated flap where local isolation or flow restriction is required. Ensure joints are sealed and fastened per the appliance and building regulations. Do not use this section where appliance instructions mandate a different flue material or configuration.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the appliance and system require a 160 mm nominal diameter and a thin-walled 2 mm steel section
• Check whether building codes or the appliance manufacturer require insulated or multi-wall flue components
• Verify the integrated flap functionality meets the intended control or isolation needs
• Measure available space to accommodate the 0.25 m length and existing connection method

Usage recommendations

Install only in systems compatible with single-wall steel flue sections; ensure secure mechanical joints and appropriate sealing. Use the flap for short-term isolation or partial flow regulation, and follow appliance manufacturer guidance and local regulations for flue clearance, support and inspection.
