The expansion piece K 81136 is a flexible exhaust piping component featuring six corrugations, engineered to absorb thermal expansion, vibration, and movement within the ZV40/48 engine’s exhaust system. Its corrugated design allows controlled flexibility while maintaining strength and gas-tight performance under high-temperature exhaust flow. By reducing stress on rigid piping sections and preventing cracking or premature failure, this expansion piece significantly enhances the durability and reliability of the engine’s exhaust line, ensuring stable operation in demanding marine and industrial environments.
