Unlike lower-grade spun brass bells, this bell is constructed of improved cast brass, giving it a heavier, more solid feel and a truer bell tone. It comes complete with a hanger and a wall mounted bracket, so it is ready to install without sourcing separate mounting hardware. Installation requires two #6 flat head fasteners, which are not included and should be selected based on the mounting surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 6 inch bell is part of the Sea-Dog cast brass bell family, which also includes an 8 inch size (part number 455720) that is sized to meet Coast Guard, ABYC, and NMMA requirements for vessels 12 meters (39.4 feet) to 20 meters (65.6 feet) in length. The 6 inch 455000 is suited for smaller boats, cabins, helm stations, and decorative or ceremonial use where a full-size hailing bell is not required. Its polished brass finish gives it a classic, upscale appearance that complements brightwork and other cast brass hardware on board.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sea-Dog\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 455000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polished Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBell Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cast Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 x 7 x 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.15 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFastener Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e #6 Flat Head (not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard Pack:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Hardware Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hanger and wall mounted bracket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 035514455039\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size is the Sea-Dog 455000 ships bell?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sea-Dog 455000 is a 6 inch cast polished brass ships bell.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this bell made of cast brass or spun brass?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made of improved cast brass, not lower-grade spun brass, which gives the Sea-Dog 455000 a heavier feel and better tone than stamped or spun bell bodies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 455000 bell come with mounting hardware?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, it includes a hanger and a wall mounted bracket for installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat fasteners are needed to install this bell?\u003c\/strong\u003e Installation of the 455000 bell uses two #6 flat head fasteners, which are not included and must be purchased separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Sea-Dog 455000 weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The bell weighs 1.15 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of this bell?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 6 inch Sea-Dog bell measures 6 x 7 x 3 inches overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a chrome version of this bell available?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, Sea-Dog offers the same 6 inch bell in a chrome plated finish as a separate part number, distinct from the polished brass 455000.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 6 inch bell meet Coast Guard sizing requirements for hailing bells?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Coast Guard, ABYC, and NMMA mouth-opening and striker mass requirements referenced by Sea-Dog apply to the 8 inch bell in this line, not the 6 inch 455000.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs there a larger size available in this same bell style?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, Sea-Dog makes an 8 inch cast brass version of this bell as a separate part number for boats needing a larger hailing bell.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many bells come in a package?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sea-Dog 455000 ships in a standard pack of 1 each.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the polished brass finish solid or plated?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 455000 bell body is solid cast brass with a polished finish, not a plated coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this bell be used on larger boats as a decorative bell?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 6 inch 455000 is commonly used as a decorative or cabin bell on boats of various sizes where a full Coast Guard-sized hailing bell is not required.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sea-Dog","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988823027931,"sku":"S-D-455000","price":69.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/8234_24fca038-a897-40a1-8499-2e87946c03fc.jpg?v=1784429652","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/sea-dog-455000-6-cast-polished-brass-ships-bell-traditional-marine-bell-with-mounting-bracket","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
