KUS Counter Ring / Spacer Flange for S5 Immersion Tube Transmitter – Maximum Stability and Long-Term Leak Protection
Reliably prevent slow leaks and unpleasant fuel odors on board! The original KUS counter ring / spacer flange is the essential safety accessory for all flexible plastic tanks, custom aluminum tanks, or thin-walled composite tanks. When you tighten the 5 mounting screws on your KUS S5 or NS5 (NMEA 2000) sensor, this solid stainless steel ring ensures that the contact pressure is distributed absolutely evenly across the flange gasket.
It reliably prevents the screw heads from dangerously “sinking” into the softer tank material or the tank surface from warping. The ring can be used flexibly as an outer shim for load distribution or inside the tank as a sturdy counter ring (counterplate).
Advantages & Technical Highlights at a Glance:
- Premium AISI 316 stainless steel (V4A): Manufactured entirely from high-strength marine-grade stainless steel. Absolutely resistant to seawater, aggressive fuels (gasoline, diesel), oils, as well as fresh water and wastewater.
- Constant contact pressure: Ensures completely uniform compression of the rubber gasket—the most important prerequisite for a tank system that remains permanently odor- and leak-tight.
- Precise SAE 5-hole standard: The hole pattern aligns absolutely precisely with the international standard flange (54 mm bolt circle diameter) and ensures a flat, stress-free installation.
- Vibration-Resistant Mounting: Protects the tank system from material fatigue in the flange area, even during heavy wave action and severe vibrations.
🛠️ Installation & Accessories Tip from Tenten-Boats:
This counterring is the ideal companion for any transducer replacement. We recommend pairing it directly with the rugged analog KUS S5 flange transducers or the modern, digital KUS NMEA 2000 stainless steel submersible transducers, model NS5, from our marine product line.
