DEPTH TH52 

 

Low Profile, Flush, and Retractable Models 

IMPORTANT: Please read these instructions completely before proceeding 
with the installation. These directions supersede any other instructions in 
your instrument manual if they differ. 

 
WARNING: NEVER USE SOLVENTS! 
Certain cleaners, fuel, paints, sealants, and other products may contain strong solvents, 
such as acetone, which attack many plastics greatly reducing their strength. 
 

• 

Plastic housing is recommended for fiberglass or metal hulls only. Never install a 
plastic thru-hull sensor in a wood hull, since swelling of the wood may overstress 
the plastic causing a fracture. 

• 

Bronze housing is recommended for fiberglass or wood hulls only. Never install a 
bronze housing in a metal hull, because electrolytic corrosion will occur. 

• 

Stainless steel housing is recommended for metal hulls to prevent electrolytic 
corrosion.  

• 

Never install a metal housing in a vessel with a positive ground system.
