135° chimney tee SOLINOX Ø200 (inox 316L)

The 135° chimney tee SOLINOX Ø200 made of stainless steel inox 316L (AISI 316L) is a single-wall connecting component designed for neat integration of a side branch into the main vertical flue. This type of tee is used in heating systems where a reliable, serviceable chimney is required: for boilers, stoves, fireplaces, and other heat generators (in compliance with appliance manufacturer requirements and installation regulations).

The defining feature is the 135° angle. Compared with a standard 90° tee, the turn is more “gradual,” and flue gases pass through the section with lower resistance losses. In practice, this helps maintain more stable draft, reduces the risk of turbulence at the bend, and makes system behavior more predictable during start-up and transitional operating modes. The Ø200 diameter suits larger cross-section flues where higher flow capacity is required by design calculation or where equipment of the corresponding output is connected.

The tee is manufactured from 0.5 mm stainless steel — a balance of rigidity, reliability, and ease of assembly. Inox 316L is valued for enhanced corrosion resistance and performance in aggressive environments: it tolerates moist operation and acidic condensate better, which can occur with frequent start/stop cycles, lower flue-gas temperatures, or during shoulder seasons. Thanks to its low carbon content (the “L” designation), 316L is also more stable in heat-affected zones, which matters for long-term durability of chimney joints.

Installation of the SOLINOX tee is carried out via a socket (spigot-and-socket) connection. This approach speeds up chimney assembly, helps align components accurately, and delivers a tight joint without unnecessary complexity. For reliability, joints are typically secured with clamps, and where required, heat-resistant chimney-rated sealing materials may be used. When planning the route, it is important to allow for service clearances and proper supports to compensate for thermal expansion and avoid extra stress at connections.

Maintenance deserves special attention. The tee is a key node in the chimney, so in the lower section beneath the tee it is recommended to install an inspection section, an end cap, or a condensate collector. This provides convenient access for soot removal, allows monitoring of the flue condition, and enables timely moisture drainage. Such a configuration improves operational safety and extends chimney service life, especially in higher-load systems.

If you need a Ø200 single-wall 135° tee with a focus on condensate and corrosion resistance, SOLINOX inox 316L is a practical choice for chimney systems of any complexity: from a standard tie-in to a vertical riser to upgrades and re-routing of an existing flue system.
