Through-hull fitting with flange in bronze

The B&G Housing Bronze Flanged is an accessory designed for the integration and protection of B&G speed and depth sensors. It provides a robust mounting point for these sensors on your boat's hull, ensuring optimal positioning and mechanical protection.

This housing is made of bronze. This material is chosen for its corrosion resistance properties in marine environments, ensuring increased durability against seawater and harsh conditions.

Bronze offers several significant advantages for a marine housing:

Excellent corrosion resistance in saltwater, extending the housing’s lifespan and protecting the sensor inside.Strength and durability, ensuring reliable mechanical protection against impacts and stress.Good thermal conductivity, though less critical for a housing, may be a factor for certain equipment.

The primary function of the Bronze Flanged Housing from B&G is to provide a secure and watertight mounting solution for B&G speed and depth sensors. It protects the sensor from marine elements and ensures proper operation by keeping it in position.

Yes, absolutely. The housing is made of bronze, a material specifically chosen for its excellent resistance to corrosion in saltwater environments. This ensures long service life and reliability underwater.

The 'flanged' design means the housing is equipped with a flange or collar. This flange allows for more secure mounting and better pressure distribution when installed on the boat's hull, contributing to optimal watertightness and high stability.

No, the Bronze Flanged Housing from B&G is a separately sold accessory. It is designed to accommodate a B&G-compatible speed or depth sensor, but the sensor itself is not included with the housing.

The weight of this bronze housing is approximately 1 kilogram.

This unit is manufactured in the United States.

This housing is designed to be compatible with B&G’s "Sensor - Speed/Depth" sensor family. It is specifically adapted for integrating and protecting speed and depth sensors.

Although it is designed for B&G speed and depth sensors, it is recommended to check specific compatibility with your sensor model. Please consult your sensor documentation or contact technical support to confirm it fits this flange housing.

The B&G Bronze Flanged Housing is specifically designed and optimized for B&G brand sensors. Use with sensors from other brands is not guaranteed and may result in compatibility, watertightness, or performance issues. It is strongly recommended to use it with the intended B&G sensors.

Yes, this housing is designed to simplify the installation of thru-hull speed and depth transducers. Its flange design ensures secure mounting and adequate sealing when installed through the boat’s hull.

Installing this housing typically involves drilling an appropriately sized hole in the boat’s hull, inserting the housing, and then securing it firmly with the supplied clamp and bolts (or a specific installation kit). A rigorous seal using suitable marine sealant is critical to prevent water ingress. It is recommended to use a professional installer or to strictly follow the installation instructions provided with the sensor or housing.

For installation, standard marine tools are typically required, such as a drill with a hole saw of the appropriate diameter, wrenches for tightening nuts, and tools for applying sealant. The exact hole saw dimensions and torque specifications will be detailed in the sensor or housing installation manual.

Yes, it is essential to use a high-quality marine-grade sealant when installing the housing to ensure a perfect seal between the housing and the boat's hull. The recommended type of sealant may vary depending on the hull material.

The housing itself may not include detailed installation instructions, as these are often provided with the sensor or transducer it is intended to accommodate. It is essential to refer to the B&G compatible sensor installation manual for precise mounting instructions.

To maintain the efficiency and appearance of the bronze housing, it is recommended to clean it regularly to remove marine dirt and fouling organisms. Gentle cleaning with a non-abrasive brush and fresh water is usually sufficient. Applying an antifouling compatible with bronze may also be considered for submerged parts, following the antifouling manufacturer's recommendations.

Yes, like most B&G products, this unit is covered by the manufacturer's warranty. The terms and duration of this warranty are specified by B&G and are generally available in the product documentation or on the manufacturer's website.
