Hi guys! I have a few questions concerning the fuel fired heater in the rear patient compartment, of the Dodge M886 ambulance:
1. Looking at photos, there is a top flange, and bottom flange where the exhaust pipe goes through the floor. Looks like there is a 3" ring welded to the top flange, to protect the floor from heat. In the center of the top flange, is an exhaust pipe, welded in- is this pipe opened up to receive the heater unit's pipe, in a kind of tight slip fit? (keeping fumes out)
2. The pipe that's welded to the top flange, where it exits the vehicle-- a flex pipe fits over this pipe. Is the flex pipe tack welded on, or clamped?
3. What's everything made of- Stainless, aluminum, or plain steel?
I'm trying to make this system up, any help and knowledge is appreciated! Thanks!
