Generator Exhaust Extensions

Let’s take a look at Generator Exhaust extensions and why you need one.

Home Generators are becoming more and more popular because of grid failures. In general, generators are the preferred choice due to their relatively low cost, portability and low maintenance.

Most home generators run on either petrol or diesel. Irrespective of the type of fuel, every generator produces some sort of exhaust gas, which is an unavoidable by-product of internal combustion engines (as a generator is essentially an internal combustion engine). You can divert these gases using a generator exhaust extension.

What is a Generator Exhaust Extension?

Placement of your home generator is very important with respect to ease of access, noise and importantly exhaust gases. Most manufacturers do not recommend placing portable generators indoors or in closed areas.

People with garages and sheds are a benefit as they use some space there to place the generator. But again, we have to be extremely careful and make sure that there is enough airflow in the shed/garage so that you can work there without feeling suffocated or pushing away harmful exhaust gases.

A simple but very useful solution is to use a generator exhaust extension. But what exactly is a Generator Exhaust Extension? It is a simple set of connectors and tubes that connects to the exhaust of the generator and diverts the exhaust gases away from you.

What is the need for Generator Exhaust Extension?

Consider this scenario. You are using your generator, which is inside a shed/garage, to power your home/shop and you want to work at the same time. An exhaust extension for your generator comes in very handy in this case as you can easily divert the exhaust gases to a different location and you can carry on working without worrying about inhaling harmful fumes.

Even if you are not in the same room as the generator, make sure that the area is properly ventilated as carbon dioxide, which is odourless, cannot be trapped in a closed space. Connecting an extension pipe/tube to the generator’s exhaust will make sure that there are no harmful gases in the surrounding area.

Conclusion

While generators are becoming common nowadays, using them properly and safely is also important. A Generator Exhaust Extension is a very useful modification we can assist you with that will divert the exhaust fumes away from you.
