Chimney Elbow WADEX 45/90° with Cleanup, diameter unspecified, model 030130000

The WADEX chimney elbow 45/90° with cleanup (model 030130000) is a flue pipe fitting designed to change the direction of a chimney or flue run while providing an accessible cleaning and inspection point. The fitting accepts either a 45° or 90° angle configuration and integrates a cleanup access that allows removal of soot and debris without disassembling the chimney system. It is intended for use in compatible solid fuel, gas or oil flue systems, subject to material compatibility and local building and appliance regulations.

Advantages

This WADEX elbow combines directional flexibility and maintenance access in a single component, reducing the number of joints and potential leak points in a flue installation. The integrated cleanup port simplifies periodic soot removal and inspection, lowering service time and effort. The fitting is manufactured to standard flue construction practices, providing reliable mechanical connection and smooth internal flow to help maintain draft performance when installed according to instructions.

Suitable for

• Changing flue direction by 45° or 90° in chimney runs
• Providing an inspection and soot-cleaning access point in a chimney system
• Installation in solid fuel, gas or oil flue systems where material compatibility is confirmed
• Retrofit or new-build chimney sections requiring a compact directional fitting with maintenance access

Key specifications

• Function: directional elbow with integrated cleanup access
• Angle options: configurable for 45° or 90°
• Application: chimney and flue systems for solid fuel, gas or oil (use per local regulations)
• Access type: removable cleanup/inspection port for soot and debris removal
• Connection: compatible with standard flue pipe coupling and sealing practices

How to use

Install the WADEX elbow in the flue line at the required change-of-direction point, ensuring the chosen 45° or 90° orientation is secured and aligned with adjoining pipework. Follow the flue manufacturer’s and local code requirements for joint sealing, support, and clearances. Use the cleanup port to access the internal flue path for periodic inspection and soot removal; remove the cleanup cover and perform cleaning with appropriate tools and protective measures. Ensure the system is cool and free of combustion before opening the access port.

Usage recommendations

Confirm material compatibility with the chimney system and appliance type, and verify that the selected diameter and jointing method match existing flue components. Have installation and maintenance performed or inspected by a qualified technician where required by local regulations. Regularly schedule inspections and cleaning intervals based on fuel type and usage to maintain draft and reduce buildup.
