DN160 pipe 1000mm made of polypropylene 2651316

Application in flue gas and exhaust gas systems

This component is a pipe made of polypropylene (PP), designed for exhaust gas discharge installations in modern condensing boilers. Thanks to the use of plastic, the product is characterized by corrosion resistance, which is crucial when working with acidic condensates formed during the combustion process. The maximum operating temperature reaches 120°C, allowing for safe installation directly behind the boiler, even under conditions of short-term flue gas temperature increases.

The section length is 1000 mm, and the nominal diameter is DN 160. These dimensions make the pipe ideal for ventilation and flue gas systems with higher flow rates, often used in boilers with a power output above 30-40 kW. It is a single-wall element, which simplifies installation and reduces the weight of the entire flue gas duct structure.

Benefits for the installer and end user

Choosing polypropylene pipes instead of traditional metal solutions brings tangible benefits on both sides of the installation process:

• Ease of processing: The material can be easily cut to the required length using standard carpentry or construction tools, without the need for complex steel cutting machines.
• Chemical resistance: Polypropylene does not rust under the influence of condensate, eliminating the risk of leaks caused by corrosion inside the pipe – a common problem in older steel installations.
• Durability of connections: The smooth inner surface facilitates gas flow and reduces the risk of soot deposition, while also making pipe cleaning during service inspections easier.
• Weight: The pipe is significantly lighter than its steel equivalent, facilitating its transport to the roof and installation in hard-to-reach places (e.g., on the building facade).

When installing, it is important to maintain appropriate distances from flammable materials and use appropriate seals and clamps dedicated to this type of pipe (often supplied as separate accessories).

Compliance with technical requirements and standards

The product meets the basic requirements for materials used for flue gas discharge in gas installations. Its construction has been designed to withstand continuous operation at temperatures up to 120°C without loss of mechanical properties. A DN 160 diameter, 1-meter long polypropylene pipe is a universal element for modernizing existing systems or building new flue gas discharge installations for Wolf condensing boilers and other manufacturers using similar connection diameters. Before installation, always check the technical documentation of the specific boiler regarding permissible pipe diameters and maximum flow resistances.
