Faria Instruments Gauge Accessories: The Support System Behind Accurate Readings

A great gauge is only as good as what feeds it. Faria Instruments — formally known as Faria Beede Instruments — has understood this since 1956, when the company began building precision instrumentation in Connecticut. Today, their gauge accessories lineup reflects that same engineering philosophy: every component that surrounds, connects to, or supports a gauge needs to be just as reliable as the gauge itself.

What Faria Gauge Accessories Include

Faria’s gauge accessories category covers the essential supporting hardware that makes a complete, accurate, and clean-looking helm installation possible. Key items include:

• Temperature Senders — Available in multiple thread sizes (1/8", 1/4" NPT, 3/8" NPTF, and 1/2" American Single Standard), these senders are purpose-built to pair with Faria gauges. Because gauge and sender must be calibrated to work together, using a matched Faria sender eliminates signal mismatch and preserves reading accuracy.
• Transducers — Faria’s transom-mount transducers, such as the 235kHz SN2011 model, pair with their depth sounder gauges. Notably, the company’s patented adjustable in-hull transducer design accommodates hulls with dead rise up to 22° without requiring hull penetration.
• LED Lighting Replacement Kits — Faria offers LED bulb replacement packs in blue for both 2-inch and 4-inch gauge faces (KTF052 and KTF053), letting boaters modernize aging gauge lighting without replacing an entire instrument.
• Gauge Blanks — Panel-filling gauge blanks (such as the 4" model 32861) allow for clean, finished dash layouts when not all gauge slots are in use, maintaining the professional look of a matched instrument panel.

Why Faria Accessories Are the Right Complement to Faria Gauges

Faria Beede is one of the few remaining vertically integrated U.S. manufacturers of marine instrumentation, supporting protocols including NMEA 2000®, J1939, and SmartCraft®. That vertical integration — from design to manufacturing to quality control — means their accessories are engineered alongside the gauges themselves, not sourced as afterthoughts. Exacting quality control throughout the assembly process ensures each sender, transducer, or lighting kit meets the same standards as the instruments they support.

This matters especially in the marine environment, where corrosion, vibration, and moisture are constant threats. Faria’s accessories feature precision-molded components and are built to perform in demanding on-water conditions. Whether you’re replacing a failed temperature sender on an inboard cruiser, upgrading dash illumination to modern LED, or filling out a new helm panel, Faria’s gauge accessories are designed to slot seamlessly into their broader instrument ecosystem.
