DS-80 Transducer Replacement Procedure

F-type Gate Valve (DS-786)

1. Removing transducer
1. Remove two Socket head screws (13) fixing Flange (4)
and Lock ring (6).

2. Pull up Shaft (5) until it does not go

further, about 186 mm.

Fig.２

3. Close Gate valve by turning the handle up to

“S” mark.

6. Remove four M4×16 Socket head screws (15) and M4 shielding washers (16).

7. Remove Gland nut (19), Flat washers (8), and Gasket (7).

8. Remove Transducer (1) from Shaft (5).

9. Remove the adhesive (ThreeBond #1104) from the surface “A”.

2. Fixing Transducer onto Shaft
Caution: For safe handling of adhesive, workspace must be well ventilated.

To fix the transducer onto the shaft;

1. Remove Hose clamp from Transducer (1) with a nutdriver.

5. Apply a thin coat of the adhesive, ThreeBond #1104, over the top of the
transducer. See Fig.10. The transducer top face is not visible after coating.
Safe Handling ThreeBond
1) Use only with adequate ventilation, or the workspace is well ventilated.
2) Skin Damage! Avoid contact with the skin. In case of contact, clean
immediately, wiping off using commonly available organic solvents.

6. Apply the adhesive, ThreeBond #1104 over all threads of Socket head bolt (15).

7. Fix the transducer onto Shaft (5) so that Bow mark on the transducer is
aligned with V-mark on the shaft at the angle of about 10°
, using four M4×16
Socket head screws (15) and M4 Shielding washers (16).

3. Fixing Flange Assembly to Gate Valve

1. Place Gasket (18) onto the flange of Gate valve (20).

2. Make sure that Flange (4), Gasket (18), and Gate valve (20) are aligned as
shown in Fig.14.

3. Using four M16×60 Socket head bolts (12), M16 Spring washers (11), and M16
Nuts (10), fix Flange assembly onto Gate valve (20).

Both FORE marks on Flange (4) and Hull flange (2) are aligned.

9. Fix Lock ring (6) onto Shaft (5) by snug-tightening M8×30 socket head bolt (21).
Fig.15

10. Fix Lock ring (6) onto Flange (4) with the shaft, using two M8×30 socket head
bolts (13) and spring washer (14). Use non-tapped holes in Lock ring (6).
