5.7.1 Siphon-break valve
If the generator is installed below or at the same level of the seawater-line (refer to external shock absorbers),
a siphon-break valve must be installed in the seawater cooling circuit.
The siphon-break valve prevents any seawater entrance into the engine through the seawater pump when the
engine is installed below or at the same level of the seawater line, even considering the boat in movement.
Failure to use the siphon-break valve, when the external shock absorbers are located at or below the
seawater line will result in raw water damage to the engine and possible flooding of the boat.
If in doubt, about the position of the external anti-vibration dampers, install a siphon-break.
The siphon-break must be installed in the high point of a hose that is looped a minimum of 50 cm above the
vessel’s waterline. This siphon-break must always be above the waterline during all angles of vessel operation
to prevent siphoning from occurring. VTE has provided two siphon-break hoses (these are tagged). The hose
(19 mm diameter) to the siphon-break connects to the raw water line at alternator water-jacket outlet. The hose
(19 mm diameter) from the siphon-break attaches to the engine heat-exchanger inlet. If not ordered and
included in the generator supply, the owner must furnish the siphon-break, and any additional lengths of hose
that may be required.
Holes for passage of anti-siphon valve supply and return lines
The siphon-break requires periodic inspections and cleaning to ensure proper operation. Failure to
maintain the siphon-break properly can result in irreversible damage to the engine.
Consult the manufacturer of the siphon-break for proper scheduled maintenance.
