3.5 EXHAUST INSULATION
If you wish to insulate the exhaust system, ask a qualified dealer for your options. Various high
temperature insulation materials are available. If you do not insulate, an exhaust
sleeve, can be used to protect yourself from burns due to accidental contact with
the exhaust pipe (part # 5135, 5136).
3.6 EXHAUST MUFFLER
This muffler is a straight through design (part # 13008,13009) offering no resistance to exhaust flow.
This is the only type that can be used in the HURRICANE heating system. It can
effectively reduce exhaust noise by up to 50%. It must be tightly clamped in
series with the exhaust piping.
3.7 THRU-HULL FITTINGS
According to American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) recommended practices and standards for
installing boat heating systems, 100% fresh air must be available for
combustion. To ensure a 100% fresh air supply, use a combination thru-hull
exhaust outlet and air intake fitting. Make sure the fitting will not be installed
where it could possibly take on water. If separate exhaust outlet and air intake
fittings are used, ensure that they are located in the same side of the boat. This
will ensure an equal pressure on both for a balanced system. In RV and truck applications where the
heater is mounted in an airtight compartment, an intake air hose must be used, or an opening, of at least
3 inches in diameter, be cut to the outside to allow for combustion air.
3.8
AIR INTAKE TUBING
Air intake tubing of 2 inch diameter is for combustion air intake (part # 8019). The same rules apply as
apply to exhaust runs, with a maximum of 12 feet.
1.
Install tubing from the combustion air intake fitting (located on the end of
the heater), to the thru-hull fitting. If possible, the air intake connection of
the thru-hull fitting should be pointed up and the air intake tubing should
follow a route parallel to the exhaust tubing.
DO NOT allow the combustion air intake and exhaust system tubing to touch as the exhaust
system tubes can become very hot, and could melt the combustion air intake tube.
2.
The air entrance for the air intake shall be guarded, shielded, or located to exclude rain, snow,
debris and birds.
3.
Secure both ends of the intake tube with properly sized hose clamps.
