[PSUBS-MAILIST] Flush Mount Valves in MBT's

[vbra676539 at aol.com]

Flush mount? Not sure what you're thinking of here. Pneumatic valve suggests a valve operated pneumatically. That's relatively easy in the home shop at whatever diameter you prefer. Hyco used them on everything, as do all the tourist subs out there. Otherwise, you'd mount a valve on the tank's high point and operate it with a reach rod from inside, like the Perry boats. I'm with you about the tubing run. Bad design. You'd want to reduce that to a minimum or none at all.

I need a little help understanding the installation ofremotely operated pneumatic valves in soft tanks. I’ve been looking at variousproducts on the Net, and from what I see, there doesn’t seem to be an off theshelf remotely operated valve that would install flush and fully vent the tank.What I’m looking for is a flush mount and a clean installation which eliminatesthe exterior tubing routed to the conning tower.
Am I missing a valve type or installation that wouldaccomplish this?
Thanks
Joe
