Waterlock for boats sailing in rough waters. Capacity 7.5 liters. With rotating inlet/outlet for easy installation. Securing strap supplied as standard. Available with hose connections of Ø 40, 45 or 51 mm. Inlet and outlet stubs will rotate through 360 degrees.

Long exhaust systems
Sometimes, notably in the case of sailing yachts, the exhaust line is so long that an extra large waterlock is needed to prevent the large volume of water in the line from running back into the engine once it has been stopped. VETUS waterlocks type LSG, LSSA and LSL are the ideal solution for boats sailing in rough waters, without the engine running. To simplify installation of types LSSA and LSG, both the inlet and outlet stubs will rotate through 360 degrees. They are also fitted with a drain plug for winter storage. It is possible to fit a sensor for an exhaust temperature alarm into the inlet hose connection of the LSG. Type LSSA features a reduced height of 225 mm, thus enabling easy installation under floor.

The Vetus exhaust system components are especially suitable for use in water-injected exhaust systems. The maximum continuous operating temperature of the plastic components of the exhaust systems is 70 degrees C (158‑degrees F).

To calculate the required waterlock capacity, use the following formula.

Where:

• D = Internal diameter of the hose (mm)
• L = Length of hose (mm)
