[. . . ] - The standard lead-through has the best splashguard of all Wallas lead-throughs. For this reason it cannot be used as a deck lead-through, which may be occasionally submerged under water. The standard lead-through's splashguard is more effective than using a sealable lead-through in the open position. - The standard lead-through withstands wind well and may therefore be used as both hull lead-through and deck lead-through. [. . . ] The lead-through is therefore suitable for deck installation as it may be occasionally submerged under water in rough conditions. - Always remember to open the exhaust lead-through before turning the unit on and to seal it again when conditions become rough. - The lead-through is opened and sealed by simultaneously pressing and turning its cap. - Under exceptionally rough conditions, the use of the deck lead-through upgrade, 2069, is recommended. - Nautic 30D and 40D can not be installed under the deck direct to the deck lead through.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
General instructions for installation:
- The air current must always be able to flow freely past the lead-through: try to install the lead-through in such a way that enables wind to blow over it. The lead-through must not be located in a corner or behind a closed end where wind pressure can interfere with the functioning of the unit. Always make sure that there is nothing in the affected vicinity of under 200 mm which is sensitive to heat, such as ropes, fenders, or neighboring boats. - If necessary, the exhaust pipe can be insulated to avoid fire hazards. - The exhaust pipe and jacket tube for the suction air must be stainless steel, 1028 or 2448. The aluminum pipe, 4045, is sufficient enough to be used with the exhaust lead-through as an insulating tube. - The insulation of the lead-through is recommended to prevent electrochemical corrosion in metal-framed boats. - Using the lead-through as a model when making installation holes for the lead-through is worthwhile, especially with cylindrical lead-throughs. - Lead-throughs have gasket but if necessery insulate the installation hole with silicon, too. - Always check the device specific requirements of the unit before the installation of the lead-through. Common to deck lead-throughs: - All lead-throughs heat their environment. - Using a drainage lock with the deck lead-through to remove splash water from the exhaust pipe is recommended. The drainage lock's water pipe can be extended to an appropriate water disposal area, for example, by using a rubber hose. - Making a gooseneck for the exhaust pipe and jacket tube is recommended; the gooseneck must be placed after the drainage lock. Common to hull lead-throughs: - The minimum distance between the hull lead-through and the surface of the water is 300 mm. Make sure that the lead-through is not submerged under water for over 5 seconds. - Install the lead-through as far back as possible, preferably in the stern. - The hull lead-through must always be equipped with a gooseneck pipe. [. . . ] The installation hole is ø 50 mm and the screw holes are 4 x ø 6 mm. min 150 mm 2045 1028 2045 1028 When installing the upgrade 2069 for extremely rough conditions, the deck lead-through is attached to the upgrade.
