Chimney elbow pipe WADEX 116160000 90° diameter 160 mm

Chimney elbow pipe WADEX 116160000 90° diameter 160 mm is a 90-degree bent flue element designed to change the direction of exhaust gas flow in chimney and flue systems. With a nominal diameter of 160 mm, this elbow connects straight sections of metal chimneys and ducting while preserving draft performance and ensuring a sealed transition at turns. It is intended for use with heating appliances and ventilation routes that require a right-angle turn in residential and light-commercial installations.

Advantages

The elbow is manufactured to provide a consistent internal profile and matching external dimensions for easy integration with standard 160 mm chimney components. Its 90° bend minimizes turbulence and supports proper draft when installed according to guidelines. The product is suitable for metal chimney systems, offering a compact solution to route flue gases where space or layout constraints prevent a straight run. The geometry and construction facilitate secure connections and straightforward alignment with adjoining pipes.

Suitable for

• Redirecting flue gases in domestic chimney systems
• Making right-angle turns in metal flue runs
• Connecting heating appliances to vertical or horizontal chimney sections
• Ventilation and exhaust routing in light-commercial installations

Key specifications

• Bend angle: 90°
• Nominal internal diameter: 160 mm
• Material type: metal chimney component (compatible with standard metal flue systems)
• Connection type: end-to-end fit for 160 mm circular ducts
• Application temperature: suitable for typical exhaust gases from domestic heating appliances

How to use

Position the elbow in the flue run at the location where a 90° change of direction is required. Ensure both adjoining pipe ends are clean and free of debris, then insert the mating ends of straight sections into the elbow until fully seated or aligned per the system's joint design. Secure connections using the approved fastening or sealing method for the specific chimney system—this may include clamps, screws, or high-temperature sealant as specified by the overall system manufacturer. Verify correct orientation to maintain proper draft and slope where applicable, and inspect joints for tightness and sealing before commissioning the appliance.

Usage recommendations

Install and service this elbow as part of a complete chimney system compliant with local building codes and appliance manufacturer instructions. Use components with matching diameters and materials, and perform a smoke or draft test after installation to confirm proper operation. For systems operating at high temperatures or with corrosive exhaust, select compatible materials and regularly inspect joints and internal surfaces for wear or deposits.
