Exhaust vented loop, vacuum breaker etc.

Jody:

The engine sea water cooling vented loops is placed into the sea water line coming off the back of the engine heat exchanger then to the vented loop fitting then back into the exhaust mixing elbow. You can see my photo essay on this when I replace one.

I hear you about this all being tight. The newer square mixing elbows are great. I am sure you can work in a vented loop.

Since you have the IP 38, and older model IP, most of these older IPs did not come with the CUBE or square exhaust mixing elbow. That cube is about $800 and it will never clog up like the old U shaped ones. So, at some point I am guessing that the old mixing elbow was replaced with this newer cube style and since the old U shape one did not have a vented loop, they simply connected it up without one. That is my guess.

All the newer engines will have vented loops on every water line, even sump pumps and shower sump pumps.
