webasto: how did you secure the exhaust?

the question is in the title ;-)

I bought a new exhaust pipe and fitted it.

 

[petibonvm]

my question was how did you secure it in the trunk

Trunk??
One end of the pipe fits over the spigot on the underside of the heater and is secured with a sturdy worm drive clamp, like a Jubilee clamp but sturdier. The other end fits over the spigot of the skin fitting and is similarly clamped. There is a bracket of some kind halfway along which stops it wagging about.

Mine does run inside some 4” warm air ducting but the exhaust is also also sleeved with a heat resistant sock. The combination of the sock and the trunking means the surface temperature of the trunking is not extreme. It’s not secured within the trunk it simply passes through it with its sock on. I secure the trunking with large SS jubilee clips to steel bulkhead fixings which hold it off the bulkhead.

I put this sheath on to protect from the heat

Thank you for your answers

On a long run I had an aluminium pipe made up which meant I didn't need support for over 2m. Runs through the stern cabin above the shelf.

Isn't the max recommended length 2m ?

Well, the heater is at the stern and the main (not blockable) output is halfway along the boat - 5m away? I can't see how the heater would be of any use if you could only send hot air 2m from it.

This thread is about the EXHAUST.

You are describing a hot air duct, not the exhaust.

Oops. Apologies. An elderly moment. DON'T follow my advice!!

I promise I won't do it again.
