⚙️ Key Features

• Genuine Volvo Penta exhaust-system bracket
• Designed for the IPS15-A diesel exhaust arrangement
• Supports the CWES valve, silencer or adjoining pipework
• Maintains exhaust-component alignment under vibration
• Correct factory mounting-hole pattern and clearances
• Engine type: Volvo Penta IPS marine diesel propulsion system

🔌 Function

Supports and locates the associated exhaust valve, silencer or pipe assembly so the joints remain aligned and securely retained.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Exhaust component movement or rattling
• Misaligned hose or pipe connections
• Repeatedly loosening fasteners
• Heat distortion or corrosion

🛠️ Service Notes

• Offer the bracket up and start every fastener by hand before tightening any of them, so the component is not pulled into a strained position
• Check the mating faces are clean, flat and free of corrosion scale — a bracket that does not sit flat will work loose and let the component move
• Renew self-locking nuts, lock washers, tab washers or thread-locking compound wherever the original assembly used them, and tighten to the figure given in the workshop manual for your engine
• Where the bracket carries a rubber mount or bush, renew that at the same time rather than reusing a perished one
• On brackets in the inlet and exhaust area, never force alignment to make the holes line up — cure the misalignment at its source, or the bracket and the component it holds will both crack
