Bently Nevada 24701-00-00-00-290-03-02 Probe Housing
A stainless-steel external housing with a 29-inch sleeve, cable-seal fitting package and no factory-installed probe.
Product Overview
24701-00-00-00-290-03-02 is a Bently Nevada 24701 stainless-steel probe housing ordered without a probe, probe cable or standoff adapter. It includes a 29.0-inch probe-penetration sleeve, the E03 plug/reducer/cable-seal package and a 3/4-14 NPT mounting thread.
The 24701 uses a 303 stainless-steel body and 304 stainless-steel sleeve. Because the sleeve is longer than 12 inches, the installation requires additional support near the eventual probe location to control resonance.
Performance
- Provides a corrosion-resistant external enclosure and sleeve for a separately selected reverse-mount probe.
- Offers a cable-seal transition through the reducer and supplied grommet sizes.
- Allows the probe and cable to be chosen independently for the exact measurement loop.
- Supports API 670 externally mounted housing practice.
- Provides CSA Type 4 enclosure protection when the complete assembly is installed as documented.

System Integration
- Select the reverse-mount probe family, cable length, connector and approvals separately.
- Engineer sleeve support near the target before installing the 29-inch assembly.
- Choose the cable-seal grommet that matches the actual cable diameter and verify strain relief.
- Confirm the 3/4-14 NPT machine port and external cover/service clearance.
- Gap and test the completed transducer loop only after all separately ordered parts are installed.
Applications
- External probe mounting where stainless-steel housing construction is required.
- Long-reach turbine or compressor measurement points with engineered sleeve support.
- Retrofit assemblies where the probe and cable are supplied or retained separately.
FAQ
Which probe must be ordered with 24701-00-00-00-290-03-02?
The housing code intentionally omits the probe; select the compatible reverse-mount probe from the measurement family, system length, connector and approval requirements.
Why is support critical for 24701-00-00-00-290-03-02?
The 29-inch sleeve is well beyond the unsupported-length threshold, so a near-tip support is needed to control resonance and protect measurement integrity.
How is the cable-seal grommet chosen for 24701-00-00-00-290-03-02?
Measure the actual probe cable outside diameter and select the supplied grommet range that seals without crushing or leaving clearance.
Is 24701-00-00-00-290-03-02 automatically explosion-proof?
Do not assume that from the fittings. Explosion-proof certification applies to designated CA housing executions and the complete approved installation.
What scope should a 24701-00-00-00-290-03-02 quotation include?
State whether the probe, extension cable, Proximitor Sensor, sleeve support, conduit components and approval documentation are required in addition to the housing.
