Surface Temperature Probe for HVAC
The Cooper Atkins 50001-K uses a K-type thermocouple to read surface and air temperatures from -40 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit or -40 to 205 degrees Celsius. A stainless steel tip contacts the target while a 2 ft 6 in lead connects to a mini plug on compatible meters. The 9 in probe length keeps hands clear of hot surfaces during measurements. It ships new with a one-year manufacturer warranty.
Mini Plug and Stainless Tip Define Compatibility
The mini connector fits standard K-type instruments without adapters, so technicians can swap probes quickly on site. Stainless steel resists corrosion and withstands repeated contact with metal ducts, pipes or griddles. The fixed 2 ft 6 in wire length suits bench work but cannot be extended, and the probe is not rated for immersion in liquids.
Suited for Technicians Needing Fast Surface Readings
This probe serves HVAC, food-service and maintenance staff who need quick surface checks within the stated range. It is not for users who require immersion-rated tips, longer cables, alternative connector types or temperature spans beyond 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Buyers needing those features should look at a different probe specification.

Questions about this item
Will the K-type thermocouple element need periodic replacement?
The probe uses a K-type thermocouple as its primary measuring element; thermocouples can drift over time and are typically replaced when calibration checks show readings outside tolerance.
What temperature limit is reached first during continuous surface contact?
The probe's specified range tops out at 400 °F (205 °C); sustained contact above that temperature will exceed the rated limit first.
How hot does the stainless-steel tip get during all-day use?
The tip temperature follows the measured surface up to the 400 °F / 205 °C rating; the handle and 2 ft 6 in wire remain at ambient unless exposed directly.
