Generator exhaust question

I also carry a 90 degree conduit sweep that I'll loan to a neighbor that is blowing exhaust my way. If the wind is not blowing very hard, it does a good job of getting the hot air headed up.
I have another larger 90 that I put on my aquahot when parked for the winter.

Ivylog,

Great idea!

I tried the PVC with my diesel generator and it survived, but it softened up considerably. So I will experiment with modifications to make it work better. Ofcourse, I used the thin wall PVC, ie sewer line and not the inside PVC used for drain lines.

Pic didn't fly

A $10.. 90 degree Elbow that fits the end of Your Exhaust will work fine to divert the exhaust upwards.
Then a length of 3" PVC or Gutter Drain Pipe to above the roof will work just fine. Attach it with suction Cups and /or Bungee Cords.
I have made a couple that worked just fine for less than $30 each complete!

I have the Genturi on our 5th wheel and the pipe that turns up (the first pc) gets hot.

I got ours on sale for like 119.00 with shipping.
I would just buy it and be done with it but that's me.

Good luck.
Ron.

I tried PVC and on a hot day it melted:M :S
I spent $15 on this one. I made it out of alum 2"X4" gutter down spout and a 90 degree elbow. Already designed to slip together and cutting the 10' into two 5' is easy enough plus it makes it easy to store. 10' gets it above the roof.

You do not need the air gap, but it does lower the temp of the up pipe by 15 degrees to 120F.

The 4" suction cup came from Harbour Freight ($4) plus I had the white channel that slips into the joint. Not that it weighs all that much but the suction cup will support all the weight.

Putting a little paint on the two joints helps in putting it together.
