SKIPPER DB (Double Bottom) Sea Valve 100 mm 1. Introduction The SKIPPER DB Sea Valve 100 mm is used for installation of SKIPPER speed log sensors and echo sounder transducers fitted with adaptor for XB-100-XX. DB-100 is available in two versions: DB-100-SA.
Page 5
Sensors for Speed Log and Echo Sounder are delivered with a fixed cable. Needed attention must be taken to allow easy replacement/pulling of new cable during maintenance. SKIPPER Electronics AS can help recommend installation positions if GA-drawings (General arrangements), lines drawings and frame drawings are made available for study.
SKIPPER Electronics AS DB-100-SB Operation and Installation Manual 2. Space considerations The Sea Valve should be placed in a service accessible place large enough for installation and disassembly of the transducer/sensor unit. Space considerations DB-100-SB Date: 2020-03-25 Page 6 of 23...
SKIPPER Electronics AS DB-100-SB Operation and Installation Manual 5. Welding the bottom flange • When the position has been decided, a hole for the 170 mm bottom flange is cut in the hull, and a 200 mm hole is cut in the bulkhead (tanktop).

SKIPPER Electronics AS DB-100-SB Operation and Installation Manual • Intermediate flange Item (11) is welded into intermediate tube Item (10). (*Yard supply). Standard welding practice, methods and procedures should be observed. (See welding notes). • Blanking plate Item (9) (*Yard supply) is placed over the 200 mm hole in the bulkhead.
Then place the valve element on top of the intermediate flange. (The main valve element is ball valve for DB-100-SB and gate valve for DB-100-SA)The 16 mm nuts and washers should be mounted and tight- ened. (Align parts before tighten nuts).
SKIPPER Electronics AS DB-100-SB Operation and Installation Manual 7. Assembling of first extension tube and sensor Gaskets and washers inside the extension tubes are different depending on the cable thickness. Gaskets and washers for one extension tube are supplied as part of Speed log sensors/Echo sounder trans- ducers.
SKIPPER Electronics AS DB-100-SB Operation and Installation Manual 8. Sensor installation • Place the O-ring, Item (36) in the groove on top of the intermediate element. Apply grease to the O-ring. • Insert the 2 thread bolts Item (16) through the flange and secure with 2 x M16 counternuts, Item (28).
