Adjustable Bend – Flexible Stove to Chimney Connection

Design, Style & Installation Options

The adjustable bend provides a versatile solution for connecting stoves to chimney flues when a straight or standard elbow cannot be used. It allows you to adjust the angle, typically between 0° and 90°, enabling smooth navigation around obstacles. Consequently, it ensures a precise and secure connection between your appliance and the chimney, maintaining both safety and efficiency.

Crafted from high-quality steel, many models feature a matt black or stainless steel finish for durability and visual appeal. Furthermore, some adjustable bends include a cleaning access door, providing easy inspection and maintenance of the flue. This makes the component both practical and convenient for long-term use. Additionally, the bend’s adjustable nature allows installers to create customised flue paths, offering flexibility when the stove’s spigot does not align directly with the chimney shaft.

Installation is straightforward and flexible. Fit the bend between the stove’s outlet and the chimney flue, then adjust the angle to achieve the desired path. Seal all joints with heat-resistant sealant or fire rope to ensure an airtight connection. This method not only maintains a smooth airflow but also prevents smoke and fumes from escaping, preserving both safety and stove efficiency.

Features, Performance & Safety

The adjustable bend is compatible with solid fuel stoves and other heating appliances, providing a reliable connection to masonry chimneys, twin-wall flues, or flue liners. Its design allows for offsets and turns that standard fixed elbows cannot achieve, enabling flexible positioning of stoves in a room.

By allowing precise flue alignment, the adjustable bend promotes efficient smoke extraction and optimal draft, improving stove performance. Furthermore, the durable construction resists high temperatures and corrosion, ensuring long-term reliability. Its combination of flexibility, functionality, and professional finish makes it an essential component for installations where space or layout challenges exist.
