The clamps must be
Of

metal, a minimum Of% inch
(12.7

be spaced at kist one clamp width apart, and at least one

Back
Pressure
Exhaust back pressure is an important criteria of an a&-
quate exhaust system.
If
the exhaust installation requires
a long run of pipe (more than
30
feet
[9
m] overall), back
pressure should be checked. Exhaust back pressure for
the
MCE
generator set should not exceed
3.0
inches (76
rnm) of mercury
(10
kPa).
Increase theexhaust pipe diameter from the mufflertothe
