Chimney elbow WADEX 115100000 45° diameter (vent flue elbow)

Chimney elbow WADEX 45° diameter (vent flue elbow) is an angled duct component designed to create a 45-degree directional change in chimney and venting systems. Manufactured by WADEX, this flue elbow provides a smooth connection between straight chimney sections to preserve continuity of the flue and support correct exhaust gas flow. It is intended for use in heating, ventilation and exhaust applications where a fixed 45° bend is required to adapt routing without compromising draft.

Advantages

This WADEX 45° chimney elbow offers a compact, single-piece solution for changing pipe direction while minimizing turbulence and resistance in the flue path. The component is engineered to ensure reliable alignment between adjoining straight sections and to maintain a sealed passage for combustion gases. Its standardized diameter enables compatibility with matching flue sections and fittings, simplifying installation and reducing the need for custom fabrication.

Suitable for

• Redirecting chimney or vent runs where a 45° change of direction is required
• Domestic and light-commercial heating appliance flue assemblies
• Connecting straight sections of venting ducts to avoid obstructions or structural elements

Key specifications

• Angle: 45° bend for directional change
• Function: Flue/vent elbow for redirecting exhaust gases
• Compatibility: Designed to mate with straight flue sections of the same nominal diameter
• Application: Suitable for heating, ventilation and exhaust systems

How to use

Install the WADEX 45° elbow between two straight flue sections of matching diameter, ensuring proper fit and alignment. Use the appropriate connection method for the flue system in use (slip-fit, clamp, sealant or screw fastening) and ensure all joints are gas-tight according to local building and safety regulations. Verify that the elbow orientation provides the intended routing while maintaining sufficient slope and clearances required by the appliance manufacturer and applicable codes.

Usage recommendations

Before installation, confirm the elbow diameter matches the existing flue sections and check material compatibility with the appliance exhaust. Follow local ventilation and chimney installation standards, and perform a post-installation inspection to ensure there are no leaks and that draft performance remains within expected parameters.
