To Professor95 or anyone else who has run an exhaust pipe from their generator,
If you feel the exhaust pipe after your generator has been running a while, what is the distance from the generator that you can hold your hand on the pipe without burning? I hope to transition from metal to PVC for my exhaust pipe using your info.
Thanks,

Forget the idea of using pvc or cpvc on the exhaust of the genset. Use 3/4" id metal and keep it 3 feet or less. If you must go over 3 feet, increase your size to 1" id for an absolute max of 6 feet. For each 90 degree bend in the pipe, take off a foot of legenth in the allowance.
Question about the transfer switch. Is it a 2 pole (240 volt) or single pole 120 volt? This fact will have a major impact on the gauge of wire you use and the load you can have attached. I need the answer before I can comment/advise.EDIT: Never mind the above question. I had the 116 switch confused with the 216. I now see it is strictly 120 volt, single pole. You are on the right track.
