Often referred to as vitreous enamel, single skin flue or connecting flue pipe, the term ‘single wall’ refers to there is only one layer of steel with no insulation.

Single wall flue is generally made from steel and coated with enamel providing a smooth internal and external finish. It can be produced in just stainless steel with no enamel coating too. 

Sometimes, however, it can be manufactured using stainless steel with no enamel coating. 

So when can I use it?
