A water heater heats water with a combustion gas. An exhaust tube includes one end portion and the other end portion, is connected to the water heater at one end portion, and inside thereof is defined as an emission path for the combustion gas. An exhaust pipe is greater in outer diameter than the exhaust tube, and a part of the exhaust tube on a side of the other end portion is introduced in the inside thereof. An exhaust terminal is attached to an end portion of the exhaust pipe and has an exhaust port for exhausting the combustion gas to the outside. An exhaust straightening member is attached to the other end portion of the exhaust tube and has an opening portion for allowing the combustion gas to flow out toward the exhaust port.

An exhaust connection structure is constructed to connect a combustion apparatus and an exhaust tube having projections and recesses in an outer surface. The exhaust connection structure has a sealing member arranged on an outer circumferential surface of the exhaust tube and an exhaust joint arranged to sandwich the sealing member between the exhaust joint and the outer circumferential surface of the exhaust tube. The exhaust joint includes an engagement member and the engagement member has an annular portion and an engaging portion bent toward an inner circumference of the annular portion. The engaging portion is engaged with the projections and recesses in the exhaust tube.

Technologies are described for vent extension systems. The systems may comprise a first extension attached to an intake vent, a second extension attached to an exhaust vent, and a third extension attached to an alternator vent of a generator housing. The first and second extensions may include a first upper section including a first and second end and a bend; and a first lower section including a first and second end and a bend. The first end of the first lower section may be configured to connect to the second end of the first upper section. The third extension may include a second upper section including a first and second end and a bend; and a second lower section including a first and second end and a bend. The first end of the second lower section may be configured to connect to the second end of the second upper section.

A modular flue adapter system and method is described to accommodate a conduit for exhaust between a firebox and a firebox flue, wherein the firebox is inserted into a firebox opening, by providing an offset distance and/or direction between the exhaust of the firebox and the firebox flue.

Devices, systems, and methods for portable, free-standing exhaust systems for exhausting gases from internal combustion type engines, including portable generators. Portable, free-standing exhaust system comprising a plurality of metal exhaust stack sections, forming a continuous hollow column; a housing stand with legs holding the column; a hanger bracket connecting the housing stand and a connector tube, including a separation space, which is connected to an exhaust pipe for exhausting gases.

A heating apparatus can have a sealed combustion chamber, a burner, and various air channels to direct air into the sealed combustion chamber and to provide heated air to the desired area or environment such as an interior room. A channel can direct a flow of air along a face of the sealed combustion chamber to cool the face. The channel can be within or outside of the sealed combustion chamber. Alternatively, or in addition, the heating apparatus can be capable of operating as a direct vent device or as a vent free device.

An exhaust adapter comprises a packing 15 compressed and held between a flange 14 of an exhaust flow path portion 5 and an outer peripheral portion of an exhaust outlet 11, and a sliding guide portion 18 provided on an inner surface of the main body 2 and brought into pressure contact with an outer surface of a closing portion 16 that is an opposing wall of an opening 13 of the exhaust flow path portion 5 are included. The sliding guide portion 18 is formed with a concave arcuate portion 18a inclined in a direction of a side of the exhaust outlet 11 from a distal end side toward a proximal end side, and the exhaust flow path portion 5 is fixed to the main body 2 in a state where the outer surface of the closing portion 16 is formed in a convex arcuate surface 16a and the convex arcuate surface 16a is pushed along the concave arcuate portion 18a of the sliding guide portion 18.
