Chimney Elbow 45° WADEX D160 - 45-degree flue bend for Ø160 mm chimney systems

WADEX Chimney Elbow 45° D160 is a 45-degree flue bend designed for chimney systems with a nominal diameter of 160 mm. The component creates a fixed-angle change of direction for smoke and exhaust gases, allowing installers to route flue runs around structural obstacles or adjust the alignment of stainless steel or insulated Ø160 mm flue components. The elbow is intended for use in residential and light commercial heating systems where a precise, durable directional connection is required.

Advantages

The 45° WADEX elbow provides a compact, rigid joint that maintains the required flue geometry while minimizing pressure loss and condensation points. Manufactured to match standard Ø160 mm components, the bend ensures proper fit and secure connections when integrated into compatible stainless steel or insulated chimney systems. Its fixed-angle design reduces the need for additional adjustment parts and simplifies installation planning.

Suitable for

• Modifying flue direction in residential chimney installations
• Routing around obstacles such as beams, ducts or rafters
• Aligning stainless steel or insulated Ø160 mm flue sections
• Commercial light-duty heating systems with compatible Ø160 mm flues

Key specifications

• Nominal internal diameter: 160 mm
• Fixed bend angle: 45°
• Material compatibility: designed for use with stainless steel or insulated flue components of matching diameter
• Application: smoke and exhaust gas conveyance for residential and light commercial heating
• Connection type: compatible with standard Ø160 mm chimney joint systems

How to use

Position the WADEX 45° elbow between two Ø160 mm flue sections where a 45-degree change of direction is required. Ensure mating surfaces are clean and free of debris, align the elbow so that the flow direction follows the intended flue path, and secure connections according to the installation method used for the rest of the chimney system (e.g., clamp, locking band or push-fit with gasket if applicable). Verify joint seals and clearances meet local building and chimney codes before operating the heating appliance.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the elbow and adjoining sections periodically for soot buildup, corrosion or seal degradation. Maintain the minimum clearances to combustible materials as specified by local regulations and the chimney system manufacturer. When combining with insulated flue components, follow manufacturer guidance to ensure proper thermal expansion allowances and sealing methods.
