Hot Exhaust
Hi, I just installed a used Omar Housekeeper 3000 to replace my Nutone CV350. I upgraded the wiring and installed dual exhaust pipes, each with a muffler and vented outside. The suction is great but I noticed that the exhaust pipes and motors get very warm, hot even. The unit uses two Amatek Lamb 115334 motors. Is this normal? Mark in Seattle, WA.
Answer:
Yes, the exhaust and pipes will get hot. That is normal. If the pipes melt, that is not normal. If the exhaust runs are separate and no longer than 15-20 feet you will be fine.
