Figure 6.5 – Typical Compartment Construction

Figure 6.6 – Types of Lock Seams

•If constructing a compartment, line the exterior (underside) of the compartment floor with 26- gauge galvanized steel.

•All seams, splices and joints of the compartment walls (unless vapor tight by design) should be caulked to prevent poisonous, flammable or explo- sive vapors from entering the vehicle interior.

NOTE:

Caulking must be done so that the caulking mate- rial will stay in place permanently. Pressing such materials as putty tape onto joints and seams is not acceptable. A high quality silicone rubber base sealant is recommended.

•Holes and openings made in the compartment walls to allow for the passage of electrical conduit, conductors, hoses, cables, etc., into the vehicle liv- ing area must be sealed vapor tight with silicone rubber base sealant.

•If flexible metal conduit is used, it must be sealed internally at the end where it terminates inside the compartment’s electrical junction box.

NOTE:

Flexible metal conduit, due to its unique con- struction, is NOT vapor tight along its entire length.

•Seams and joints of the galvanized steel (whether used as a liner or for the compartment itself) must be lapped and mechanically secured. Such seams may be manufactured, welded, bolted, riveted or screwed. Manufactured lock seams are shown in Figure 6.6. Installer constructed compartments typically utilize a standard lap joint.

•After the compartment has been metal lined and vapor sealed, line the compartment interior walls and ceiling with an approved, nonflammable sound insulating material. See Section 6.2.3.

DANGER

Do not install any flammable material directly above or around the compartment. Heat, transferred through the compartment structure, may be sufficient to ignite, char or discolor seat cushions, fiberboard and other flammable materials. You may need to use approved nonflammable insulating materials in high temperature areas.

◆6.2.3 SOUND INSULATING MATERIALS

Once installers have determined that a compartment is properly constructed and metal lined, they can add acoustical material. This may include additional sealant or insulating material, to reflect noise away from the vehicle interior.

Sound insulating materials should be of a nonflam- mable type. One excellent insulating material is a 1- inch (25 mm) thick fiberglass having a 2-pound den- sity. When fiberglass is used, its coated side should face toward the compartment interior.

DANGER

Do not install sound insulation or any absorbent material on the compartment floor interior. Such materials will become soaked with combustible or explosive vapors and liq- uids and will become a fire hazard.

Using a combination of sound insulating materials can often reduce noise more effectively than a single material. For example, a sheet of lead or visco-elastic material, along with a layer of other acoustical mate- rial, is more effective than when a single material is used.

Generac has established itself as a leader in the power generation industry, particularly noted for its wide range of generators designed to provide reliable backup power. Among its various models, the Generac series consisting of the 004702-0, 004703-0, 004704-0, 004705-0, 004706-0, and 004707-0 stands out due to their dependable performance and innovative features. Each model in this series is engineered for both residential and light commercial applications, offering peace of mind during power outages.

One of the main features of these models is their state-of-the-art engine technology. Equipped with a Generac engine, these generators are designed to provide efficient, powerful performance. The engines are robust and designed to withstand extended use, ensuring that users can rely on them when needed most.

A standout feature is their Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) capability. When the power goes out, these generators automatically switch on, providing uninterrupted power to essential appliances and systems in the home. This seamless transition is vital for maintaining safety and comfort during outages, eliminating the need for manual intervention.

Fuel efficiency is another area where these models excel. They utilize either natural gas or propane, offering flexibility in fuel choice depending on availability and preference. Their engineering is optimized for minimal fuel consumption while maximizing output, making them a cost-effective solution for power needs.

Furthermore, these models incorporate advanced monitoring and control systems. Users can conveniently monitor generator performance and status through an intuitive mobile app or control panel. This technology allows users to receive alerts and updates, ensuring they are always informed about the power situation at their location.

Noise reduction technology is also a key characteristic of this series. Generac's engineers have focused on minimizing sound output, providing a quieter operation compared to many other generators in the market. This feature is particularly beneficial for residential areas where noise can be a significant concern.

Overall, the Generac 004702-0, 004703-0, 004704-0, 004705-0, 004706-0, and 004707-0 models exemplify reliability, efficiency, and advanced engineering. Their comprehensive features and user-friendly technology make them an excellent choice for anyone seeking a dependable backup power solution.
