Exhaust Elbow Installation
The Westerbeke Corporation offers a 45'and 90'exhaust
elbow as
well as an exhaust riser you can install on your
generator. Refer
to
the instructions below when installing
the exhaust elbow purchased for your generator.
NOTE:
Fabricated exhaust elbows
or
risers at-
tached to the exhaust manifold shall not exceed S
Ibs
when unsupported.
1.
Coat only one side of the exhaust gasket with '''High
Tack"
adhesive sealant. Place this coated surface
against the exhaust manifold's exhaust port flange (the
gasket should stick to the flange without falling off).
2.
Place the clamp over the elbow's flange. Place your ex-
haust elbow against the exhaust manifold's flange so
the exhaust manifold's flange rests snug against the ex-
haust elbow's flange with the gasket centered between
the two. Now
slip the exhaust clamp over both flanges.
3.
A.
Tighten the clamp just enough so the exhaust elbow
can remain attached
to
the manifold and still be
rotated.
B.
The exhaust elbow discharge
111.Ufl1
be
directed
downward so the mixture of
sea
water and exhaust
gases will flow/fall downward into the exhaust
muf-
fler which
111.Ufl1
be positioned below the exhaust
elbow. There should
be
no loops or rises
in
the ex-
haust hose connected between the exhaust elbow
and the muffler, as these would trap water and
pos-
sibly allow water
to
flow back into the engine during
starting or at shut down.
4.
Adjust the elbow
by
rotating it until the desired align-
ment with the exhaust piping is acquired.
5. Carefully tighten the clamp between 2 to 3 Ib-It, or
24
to 35 Ib-in,
or
0.27
to
0.41
kg-m.
CAUTION
Approach the 3 Ib-It torque limit with caution. The
clamp's threads will break
if more than 3 Ib-It
is
ap-
plied to the clamp.
If a leak exists, correct it immediately.
