Overview  

 

The Immersion Temperature Sensor is made for thermowell mounting and temperature measurement in water pipes, water tanks or 
cooling tower sump applications. The rigid probe is made of Stainless Steel and made in different lengths for a custom thermowell fit. 
Enclosure mounting styles come in plastic or metal for both NEMA 1 and NEMA 4 applications and are all plenum rated.
