Description
Sometimes a flue cannot go straight up. This 150mm 45 degree bend lets you change direction neatly without choking the draw. It is a stainless steel elbow, also called a single skin bend, made for single skin, non-insulated flue systems with a 150 mm diameter.
150mm 45 Degree Bend Uses
A 45 degree flue bend is gentler than a 90 degree one, so smoke flows past it more easily and the fire draws better. Two of them used together make an offset, which is the usual way to move a flue sideways to miss a roof truss or line up with a cowl. Find straight lengths and other fittings in our elbows and bends range, or browse every part in flues and accessories.

Fitting note
Keep bends to a minimum and keep the flue as vertical as you can, because every change in direction slows the draw. Single skin parts get very hot, so leave the correct gap to anything that can burn. If you would rather leave it to the experts, our flue installation team in Cape Town plans and fits the whole run.
150mm Elbow FAQs
How many 45 degree bends can a flue have?
As few as possible. Most installs use one pair for an offset. More than that can cause smoke to spill into the room, so we check the layout and the height of the flue on site before we fit anything.
