Homemade RV Generator Exhaust System
In many cases, you will want to drain the portable generator's exhaust out of your work area to a more well-ventilated area.
This is important in closed stores, when taking the generator into the garage during a storm, or even to use it in your RV.
A generator exhaust extension bolts to your generator's exhaust and allows your exhaust fumes to be routed outside your work area.
Before installing a gasoline or diesel generator, it is necessary to determine in advance how to remove exhaust gases from the room. It is necessary to make an exit in full compliance with modern safety standards.
What it takes to host a challenge
To remove emissions from generators, we need:
- Pipes are common metal or corrugated plastic.
- Adapters (screwed connections, flanges, corners, clamps).
- Condensation locator (if the drain pipe is planned to be installed vertically).

What more should be paid attention to?
When choosing a branch pipe, its cross-section is the main factor. The diameter should be at least equal to the silencer outlet diameter. If the length of the branch exceeds 2-3 meters, it is advisable to choose a wire with a slightly larger cross-section.

The next point to pay attention to is the number of turns. Ideally, there should be no more than one or two corners in the bend, and the smoother the better. It is believed that each turn reduces the efficiency of the generator by 10-15%.
