Does this item need to be welded onto pipes? How is it installed?

It's a slip on muffler. It fits 1 3/4 or 1 1/2 inch pipes. It also fits 1 1/4 inch pipes with the reducer.

You should only have to make a small tack weld (if any) if you make sure to order the correct adaptor fitting rings (sold separately). I learned the hard way and ended up doing a full weld... Only to find out the sounded terrible on my CB200 and ended up cutting them off. I can only describe the sound is like that of a goat in heat. I much more stocked on the sound of my reverse cone mufflers instead.

The last thing you want is to loose a muffler going down the road because you didnt weld the connection. Why risk not welding the silencer on?

Mine slipped on and held. You should be able to buy a adaptor if it is loose. You should be able to find kits to fit. Good luck.

We ended up welding to the exhaust pipe. I might add we used this on an off road vehicle so it was shaken around alot

I have a gn125 Suzuki and I just slipped it on, so no welding at all. I had to use a reducer but that's not totally relevant. You could weld it but as long as there's something securing it to your manifold it works like a charm.

They screw on, using the wire in the hose as the "thread". Ours came off the first time we used it as we thought it was clamped on and hadn't checked it. A bit of a surprise but easily fixed and we have not had to refit them again. Just a simple (but messy) mistake on our part. Since then, no problems, a good robust system.

It's a 1 1/4'' threaded piece that you need. Then all I did was pvc cement it to 1 1/2'' pipe.

Hi I installed it on my 2013 jeep wrangler and it could not be easier, no welding just remove the exhaust clamp and lock it in from the side rubber mounts. should take less than 30 minutes to remove and install the new muffler.

hello,i would say that welding an exhaust pipe is best done with a wire feed welder.the exhaust pipe is rather thin and you may be able to do it w/this using lower amperage and small diameter rods like a 6013 which is pretty much an all purpose rod for steel.however,i have never tried welding exhaust and from my experience of having an exhaust installed and someone welding on it, they used a wire feed and down side is,that the heat and welding process will remove the galvinized protection at/around the weld and it will usually corrode/rust out at that point quicker.hope this helps some.

Non welded. There is a nut with recessed O ring on the inside that the spigot (with another O ring) screws into. We use it to melt snow at our cabin and it works well.

Absolutely. It is a weld. You need some way to hold the pieces in place for at least 4 minutes while the weld sets up.

Suggest going on the Rheem website and looking at the pdf installation instructions. Our plumber installed it, and did not use PVC; used some kind of metal vent pipe.

You need some way to attach it, I welded a bracket to the parts that came with it to mount mine... It does come with some stuff but not a real way to mount it...

We have not yet installed it because or "new" bathroom was not yet ready, but "hubby" has it sitting in place & some pipes are now attached - he didn't seem to think it would be too difficult.........we do get advice from friends/our builder, however, as well! Sorry we're not much more help - but some of the previous answers seemed to make sense!!

Mine came with a plastic lily pipe. I havent done it myself but it seems youd be perfectly able to fit the exhaust with any kind of fitting provided it's the right size. The intake and exhaust just go through your standard flexible tubing(included).

I believe you can install it either way. Mine was installed as shown. Fittings that connect to plumbing are straight.

It depends on how comfortable you are with pipe fitting and soldering joints. The device has to be inserted into the cold water intake pipe. It's more than I was prepared to deal with because I didnt have s pipe cutter or torch. I also wanted to get some maintenance done... Anode rod and such, so I called a plumber.

No do not remove it. Make sure the pipe is clean and free of burs before installing it and make sure you push hard to set it correctly

No, just twist it around the pipe and used little wire ties to hold it. I then covered it with a self sticking insulationfrom a ace hardware.

Yes the Mr Stacky website has instructions and a video. It's just PVC pipe and Conduit that your will need found at any hardware store.

The pipe is concentric with both intake and exhaust. If you had to you could fabricate something that would work. I doubt it would pass inspection without a lot of paperwork. If you decide to do it make sure to include slope in the pipe because there will be condensation. Either up or down slope will work.
