Weldless thermometer install

I got confusing information from technical support, I was told to put one inside and out. If that is the case why would they ship it with a single gasket??? January 20, Purchased over 2 years ago. Great value and quality product. Loved the ease of install, doesn't leak at all. Nice big numbers and a short probe is perfect for BIAB. February 1, Purchased over 3 years ago.

Built a 20 gallon 5 kettle system. Our club built a 20 gallon 5 kettle system and used all weld-less fittings to cut cost. This worked out perfectly and is functioning wonderfully. May 5, Randall P. Leaked a little at first, but I found that all I needed was to put the silicon washer on the outside of the kettle for me.

Worked great after that! May 3, Michael C. Perfect for my purposes. I needed a stubby thermometer for my CFC tower I built. While searching the catalog I found this in the weldless fitting area. I'm very happy with this. May 2, Rated 3 out of 5. I love the quality of parts, but I kept getting a small leak. I had to add another washer to outside the kettle wall.

Water amount and temperature are crucial in sugar extraction from grain. This thermometer works in conjunction with the stainless steel site glass. This enables the brewer to use accurate amount of water to grain at exact mash in temperature.

Both extremely important in mashing. Yes I recommend both the thermometer and site glass which are necessary great tools to add consistency in your brewing process. April 14, Jerry S. Purchased 9 months ago. Installed as described and looks to be made of quality materials. Hoping to brew with it soon. November 10, Purchased 1 year ago. Good build quality, easy to install. August 5, Kevin U. August 1, Todd D. Great Addition to Mash Tun. I installed this thermometer in a Mash Tun.

Have to be a bit careful with the install it's not thick enough to span the inner and outer wall so you have to straddle the inner wall only. That's not a rub against the product, more about the install. June 20, Jonathan Berdyck. Purchased over 2 years ago. Perfect addition to my cooler mash tun! March 9, Gregory W. Rated 3 out of 5. Doesn't Work in Cooler. I bought this for a 10 gal rubbermaid cooler I use as a mash tun. It isn't long enough to fit. Had to go to the local hardware store and figure out a way to extend the bulk head.

I figured it out, but it would have been nice if I knew that up front. May 14, Philip D. May 5, Perfect for my keggles. I recently made two keggles for my home brewing rig.

I used one of these on my hot liqueur tank as well as my brew kettle. They worked perfectly for both operation and didn't leak! Very satisfied. I stopped drilling anytime smoke started, reapplied cutting oil, and waited a minute to allow the bit and metal to cool. The step drill bit left a nicely chamfered hole free of sharp burs. After installation, it looked great on the keggle, but it leaked. The o-ring went on the outside within the stainless washer. The two washers, one inside and one outside, stopped the leak.

However doing that puts the bottom of the dial face only 5 inches from the bottom of the pot. A heat shield may be in order. A piece of metal is placed below the thermometer to shield it from convective heat. Update: I found that a heat shield was needed. I put a piece of stainless steel under the keggle.
