Section 3, Installing the Exhaust System
3-2
The Oasis
®
Chinook Heating System
·
When mounting the Oasis
®
Chinook Heating System in a
coach, the typical mounting location for the exhaust outlet is
under the floor of the heater compartment and out from the
side of the coach, or out from the other side of the coach,
directly across from the heater. The Oasis
®
Chinook Heating
System will allow a maximum of 12' of exhaust piping,
without any bends (excluding the exit bend from the heater).
·
Position the outlet of the exhaust pipe so that the exhaust
exits out from under the side of the coach, not directly
underneath the coach or under an opening window or vent.
·
If the exhaust is mounted under a slide-out, the outlet of the
exhaust must be a minimum of 36" (inches) below the slide-
out, including skirt and moldings.
Recommendation for Installation
·
You may use sweeping bends, but each 90° bend is
equivalent to two feet of exhaust piping. For example, if you
use two 90° bends, you must subtract 2' per bend from the
maximum allowed 12' exhaust length. Therefore, you will be
restricted to 8' of straight exhaust piping plus the two bends.
Do not exceed these recommendations.
·
The combustion air must be drawn from outside the coach.
The maximum length of each air-intake tubing is 7 feet. Do
not exceed this recommendation.
·
Use an ITR-manufactured muffler with a straight-through
design. No other muffler is acceptable.
·
Exhaust outlet is on the bottom of the Oasis
®
Chinook
Heating System, towards the back.
The exhaust and outlet are HOT and the surrounding areas
must be thermally shielded and protected from the hot
surfaces and heat build-up by insulation. Nothing can
come into inadvertent contact with any part of the
exhaust system.
·
Exhaust must have a minimum of 3” (7.6 cm) clearance from
all surfaces.
·
Ensure that the exhaust cannot be plugged or restricted.
