Chimney Elbow 45/90° with Cleanup, WADEX model 030160000, for flue connection

WADEX chimney elbow 45/90° model 030160000 is a flue pipe fitting with an integrated cleanup (inspection) opening designed to change the direction of exhaust gases while allowing convenient access for maintenance. The fitting can be positioned to achieve either a 45° or 90° turn in a chimney or stovepipe run, and the cleanup access simplifies soot removal and inspection of the flue pathway in domestic and light-commercial heating installations.

Advantages

The elbow combines directional flexibility with an integrated cleanup port, reducing the need for separate inspection components and simplifying installation. Constructed to fit standard flue sections, it provides a secure joint for redirected exhaust flow and offers easier access for routine maintenance and soot extraction. The design minimizes disruption to the flue layout while maintaining a stable connection between pipe sections.

Suitable for

• Connecting stovepipe or chimney sections where a 45° or 90° change of direction is required
• Installations that require regular soot removal and visual inspection of the flue
• Domestic furnaces, wood stoves, boilers, and other solid-fuel heating appliances
• Retrofit or new chimney runs needing a compact directional fitting with cleanup access

Key specifications

• Function: directional flue elbow with integrated cleanup/inspection opening
• Angles supported: configurable for 45° or 90° use
• Compatibility: designed for standard flue/stovepipe sections (consult pipe diameter matching)
• Use environment: indoor chimney and stovepipe systems for heating appliances

How to use

Fit the elbow between two sections of flue or stovepipe, ensuring correct alignment for the desired 45° or 90° direction change. Secure connections according to the flue pipe manufacturer’s instructions, using appropriate seals or fasteners where required. Position the cleanup opening so it is accessible for future maintenance. Before first use, check all joints for correct fit and ensure the overall chimney run meets local safety and ventilation regulations.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the cleanup opening periodically and remove soot or creosote buildup as part of routine chimney maintenance. Ensure that the elbow is installed with the correct orientation and that any seals or gaskets are intact to preserve safe exhaust flow. For installations near combustibles or in complex chimney layouts, follow local building codes and consult a qualified installer.
