Chimney Elbow WADEX 115180000 45° — flue pipe elbow for venting systems

Chimney Elbow WADEX 115180000 45° — flue pipe elbow for venting systems is a 45-degree elbow piece designed to change the direction of exhaust flow in chimney and ventilation installations. Manufactured for compatibility with WADEX metal flue systems, this elbow helps maintain correct draft and smooth gas flow when routing flue pipes around obstacles or aligning with appliance outlets. The component is intended for use in residential and light-commercial heating applications with compatible metal venting assemblies.

Advantages

The 45° angle provides a gradual change of direction that reduces resistance and helps preserve draft compared with sharper bends. Constructed from metal compatible with standard flue systems, the elbow offers dimensional accuracy for reliable fit and consistent sealing when used with corresponding pipe sections. Its design allows for straightforward integration into venting runs and supports secure assembly with common joining methods used in metal chimney systems.

Suitable for

• Routing flue pipes around structural obstacles in residential chimneys
• Adjusting alignment between appliances and vertical flue runs
• Light-commercial heating installations requiring directional changes
• Retrofit or repair of compatible metal venting systems

Key specifications

• Angle: 45° bend for flue/vent pipes
• Material type: metal suitable for standard chimney flue assemblies
• Intended application: exhaust gas routing in heating and ventilation systems
• Compatibility: designed to mate with matching-diameter metal flue sections
• Use environment: indoor chimney and venting installations for residential and light-commercial systems

How to use

Install the elbow by aligning it with the adjacent flue sections so that the overlapping ends engage according to the flue system's joining method. Ensure ends are fully seated and secured using the recommended fasteners, seals or locking mechanisms specified for the metal flue system in use. Verify correct orientation to maintain proper draft direction and check clearances to combustible materials and local code requirements before completing the installation.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the elbow and mating pipe sections for damage or deformities before installation. Use appropriate sealing material and fasteners recommended for the specific metal flue system to ensure gas-tight connections. If installation affects appliance draft or venting performance, consult a qualified heating technician and follow local building codes and manufacturer installation instructions.
