Installation example
This illustration demonstrates the mounting principles for a hydraulic gate valve. The mounting flange, gate valve and transducer dock are shown. The drawing is not to scale.

A Blister
B Blister (Shown 90 degrees)
C Deflection brackets must only be welded to the shell-plating.
D Gate valve
E Transducer dock
F Allow ample space for welding and inspection.
All measurements are in mm. The key measurements are:
1 As short a possible
2 As short a possible
3 As short a possible
Note
The hull unit is designed to lower the transducer down to a predefined depth below the vessel's hull. This depth is decreased with the physical height of the gate valve. It is further decreased with the height of the mounting flange.
