Flue Elbow 90/180 WADEX model 017180000, stovepipe/vent connector elbow

WADEX Flue Elbow 90/180 model 017180000 is a stovepipe and vent connector elbow engineered to provide a compact directional change in flue and exhaust ducting. The component allows installation of a 90° or 180° bend between sections of chimney, stove pipe or ventilation runs, enabling space-efficient routing of exhaust from solid fuel stoves, boilers and other combustion appliances. The elbow is intended as a joining element that aligns and secures adjacent duct sections while maintaining a continuous exhaust path.

Advantages

The WADEX elbow offers a compact footprint that facilitates routing in confined or constrained installations. It provides a simple mechanical connection between straight pipe sections, reducing the need for multiple fittings and simplifying layout adjustments. Constructed for durability, the design minimizes turbulence and maintains an unobstructed exhaust path when correctly installed. Its dual-angle capability (90° and 180°) makes it versatile for various routing requirements without requiring separate components.

Suitable for

• Redirecting flue gases from solid fuel stoves and wood-burning appliances
• Creating compact exhaust routes for boilers and heaters
• Adjusting chimney or stovepipe alignment in tight spaces
• Connecting sections of ventilation or ductwork where directional change is needed

Key specifications

• Function: directional elbow for stovepipe and vent connectors
• Angles available: allows 90° and 180° directional change
• Application: suitable for solid fuel stoves, boilers and ventilation ducts
• Compatibility: joins standard stove pipe and flue sections of matching diameter
• Design emphasis: compact footprint for space-saving installations

How to use

Install the WADEX flue elbow by aligning the male and female ends with the adjoining stovepipe or vent sections of matching diameter, then fully seat and secure the joint according to the pipe system’s recommended connection method (e.g., crimped ends, clamp or screw attachments). Position the elbow so the chosen angle—90° or 180°—provides the required change of direction while maintaining proper draft and slope where applicable. Ensure all connections are tight, supported, and sealed as required by local building codes and the appliance manufacturer’s instructions. Inspect the completed run for unobstructed flow and proper clearances to combustible materials.

Usage recommendations

Use the elbow only with compatible flue pipe diameters and materials rated for the appliance and fuel type. Follow local regulations and the appliance manufacturer’s guidance for clearances, fastening, and sealing. Regularly inspect joints and supports for corrosion, leaks or looseness and perform maintenance as needed to ensure safe and efficient operation.
