3.23 Overview and Installation of the Aqua-Hot’s Exhaust System
WARNING:
The Aqua-Hot’s exhaust is
hot
and must be kept away from any heat
sensitive material.
DO NOT
direct exhaust downward as a fire may result
when parked in dry, grassy areas. In addition, the exhaust must not termi-
nate beneath the vehicle or beneath an openable window or vent. Refer to
“Internal Combustion Engine Exhaust Pipe Termination” Section 3-4.3 in the
RVIA Standards Manual for additional exhaust system information.
A. The exhaust must be able to freely exit away from the vehicle without any
obstructions.
B. Run the Exhaust Pipe to the driver’s side of the vehicle and ensure that the exhaust
fumes
cannot
enter into the passenger compartment.
NOTES:
1.
The Exhaust System
MUST NOT
terminate beneath the vehicle. Failure to
conform will void the Aqua-Hot’s UL listing.
2.
Angle the Exhaust Pipe towards the rear of the vehicle so that the exhaust
fumes will naturally move away while the vehicle is in motion.
C.
DO NOT
terminate the Exhaust Pipe within the awning area of the Motorhome, if
applicable. Be sure to keep the exhaust away from the slideout areas. Reference
RVIA’s ANSI/NFPA 1192 Handbook for additional information.
D. From the Aqua-Hot’s 1-1/2 inch (F) NPT Exhaust Port, use a 1-3/4 inch I.D. (Inside
Diameter) Exhaust Pipe; reference Figure 29.
NOTES:
1.
Be sure to use standard Automotive Type Exhaust piping and avoid bends, if
possible.
2.
The total length of Exhaust Pipe should not exceed
12 feet
. Should your
particular application require more than 12 feet of Exhaust Pipe, please contact
Vehicle Systems’ Product Application Support Department at 1-800-685-4298
for assistance.
3.
A maximum of two 90° Exhaust Pipe bends is allowed.
E. A condensation drain must be provided in the exhaust system. This can be
accomplished by drilling a small hole (approximately 1/8 inch diameter) at the
Exhaust Pipe’s lowest point (slightly sloping the Exhaust Pipe away from the
Aqua-Hot will achieve the same results); reference Figure 29.
F. Be sure to secure the end of the Exhaust Pipe to the vehicle with the proper Exhaust
Hanger/support hardware.
