Additional heat insulation must be installed at places where the
exhaust pipe goes through the floor or the side wall of the vehicle (Fig.
12) to avoid unnecessary fire hazard.
The end of the metal hose should not contact the rubber seal of the heater. It is advised
to install the discharge of exhaust gases in a way, that does not allow exhaust gases to flow
inside the spaces used by people, like drivers’ cabin or living quarters of maritime transport
(e.g. away from open windows, doors), to avoid the possibility of inhaling dangerous
exhaust gases.
Do not place the output opening of the exhaust pipe in front of the
incoming airflow of the moving vehicle or vessel (see Fig. 5).
3.3.1. Installing exhaust adapter on maritime transport
Exhaust gases are discharged overboard the vessel. Install the discharge of exhaust
gases in a location inaccessible to water (at least 60 cm above the waterline) and to avoid
the possibility of repeated intake of exhaust gases by the air intake pipe.
To install the exhaust pipe adapter (hull fitting), drill a hole in the hull of the vessel at
least 5 mm larger in diameter than actual outer diameter of the hull fitting. Install the exhaust
pipe into it as per Fig.13 with the pipe looking upwards (to avoid penetration of water).
Install a rubber gasket between the flange of the exhaust pipe and the hull of the vessel to
seal the connection.
To prevent exhaust gas leaks or falling off of the
exhaust pipes, it is advised to use an exhaust cement or
different kind of sealant on every connection of the
exhaust pipe Sailboats should not install the exhaust
adapter on the side of the hull, only at the stern.
