Standpipe Construction
For those of you with standpipes in their exhaust systems, what material was used to make them?

I have a Tartan 34 Classic. All originally have a standpipe. The standpipe is made of bronze. Lead up to by black pipe which is threaded into the bottom of the cylinder. Art |

Black Iron.
Home Depot special ??? - Is the standpipe the same thing as the riser? If not, then I don't have one. |

Good question. I would say that a standpipe is indeed a riser that elevates the exhaust to such a level that the engine does not have to drive water uphill. So a standpipe is always a riser, but a riser is not a standpipe.

Could someone please explain in greater detail the diagram of risers and
standpipes? I think I have a standpipe, especially since the engine is buried in the keel on the Tartan 34C. The water must push uphill though. Thanks Art |

Art,
Is the question how the standpipe system works or whether or not you have one? Or both?

Here is a link to an original standpipe ( Tartan 34c ) deconstructed to show internal configuration and the fabrication of a new one.
