DRY EXHAUST INSTALLATION
a) An engine correctly installed in accordance with this
handbook will meet the emission requirements of the
RCD (see back of manual).
b) Keep exhaust systems to a minimum length and
have gradual bends (NOT right angle elbows).
Exhaust back pressure is increased by longer exhaust
length and sharp bends. Back pressure should be
measured; with the complete exhaust system
connected and the engine running at full speed; and
should NOT exceed 80mm Hg (3.1 inches Hg). The
correct measuring point is before the dry exhaust
bellows (at the manifold flange). We can supply a
Manometer kit for testing 'Back Pressure'.
c) The dry exhaust system installed in a canal boat
or work boat should be 1
diameter.

The engine is fitted with a 1
stub as standard - Valid for exhaust systems up to 3
metres in length. A flexible exhaust bellows and dry
exhaust silencer should be used. It is up to the
installer to work out his own pipe run but care
should be taken as follows:
• Never use a flexible exhaust bellow as a bend, it will
crack, always keep them straight.
• Ensure that rain water cannot enter the exhaust port
and run back down the system, flooding the silencer
and eventually the engine. (See drawings below).
• The system should be lagged if there is any danger of
the crew getting near it.
• A dry exhaust system will give off considerable heat
and suitable ventilation must be provided.
Ensure exhaust raises then falls to outlet
