Immersion Wells and Compression Fittings

FOR TEMPERATURE CONTROLLERS

APPLICATION

Immersion wells, compression fittings and element holders 

are used with Aquastat® Temperature Controllers to hold the 

temperature sensing bulb in the controlled medium. 

Immersion wells and compression fittings also prevent 

leakage of the controlled medium.

FEATURES

• Immersion wells and compression fittings are 

available to fit a 1/2-14 or 3/4-14 NPT tapping with 

a range of insulation depths.

• Immersion wells and compression fittings are 

available in a variety of lengths and diameters.

• Immersion wells and compression fittings are 

available in a variety of materials, to suit the 

application. Materials include: brass, copper, 

stainless steel, mild steel or Monel.

• Element holders support the capillary and bulb 

or an averaging element in duct applications.

• Bulb shields protect the sensing bulb from sun 

and weather with the bulb installed outdoors.

• Accessories, including mounting clips, heat-

conductive compound, waste nuts, a pipe strap 

and a well adapter, are available for mounting 

sensing bulbs in various applications.

• Immersion wells allow heat transfer while 

protecting the sensing bulb from contact with the 

controlled medium.

• Immersion wells permit removal of the sensing 

bulb for testing or replacement without draining 

the system.

• Compression fittings seal the boiler and allow 

bulb insertion directly into the controlled 

medium.
