RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Which Through-Hull?
Hi Guys,
I have a couple of queries on a similar note:
Would you recommend using a male to male union containing the conductors and
epoxy "plug" which is then screwed into a reducer and then screwed into the
boss welded to the hull? This way there will be a natural step for the epoxy
plug to bear against preventing it from being forced through the male to
male union into the hull.
Or is this just overkill? Will the bond between the epoxy and the inner wall
of the male to male union be sufficient to prevent this from happening. I
suppose I could use a reducer just to be on the safe side but I don't want
to waste my time over engineering each aspect of my design if other people
have found simpler designs which are just as reliable.
Second question!:
Would you recommend sitting all of the penetrators in a similar location on
the wall of the pressure hull of just to sight them where ever they are
closest to the equipment they are connected to. In addition to this my
current design uses a cylindrical pressure hull with hemispherical end caps.
Should I site the penitrators inn the wall of the cylinder or the end cap.
Unfortunately you can expect more of my "grass roots" questions as I fine
tune my design, sorry!
Harry

Hi, Mike/Stan:
Sorry, I don't have a drawing available on the backyard connector -
the last one of those I built/used was years ago. I will get our autocad
Guru to do one when we get some free time . .right now he's up to his
earbones in the third revision of the 'NewtArm' manipulator -
