Glow-in-the-dark bimetal thermometer
This Dwyer Instruments dial thermometer measures temperatures from 0 to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Its glow-in-the-dark dial improves readability in low-light conditions. The instrument is built for industrial and mechanical environments where reliable temperature indication is required. A stainless steel housing and glass lens protect the movement from harsh surroundings.
4-inch stem with 1/2-inch NPT back connection
The 4-inch stem length and 1/2-inch NPT back connection suit specific process fittings. Upgrading from a shorter stem or a bottom-connected model is worthwhile when the installation demands this exact insertion depth and rear mounting orientation. The fixed dimensions mean the thermometer only fits applications that match these specifications.
5-inch dial diameter for clear reading
The 5-inch dial diameter provides a large scale for comfortable reading at a distance. It handles high-temperature monitoring up to the 500-degree limit across the full span. Headroom ends at the top of the range; processes exceeding this temperature require a different instrument. The included NIST-traceable certificate supports calibration programmes.

Questions about this item
What size NPT fitting does the 540161 thermometer need to mount?
The instrument uses a 1/2 in NPT back connection, so the process port must accept that thread size for a secure fit.
How is the bimetal thermometer installed, and what step is often missed?
Thread the 1/2 in NPT stem into the port and tighten with a wrench on the hex flats; the step often missed is using the wrench instead of turning the dial housing, which can damage the case.
Does the glow-in-the-dark dial on the 540161 need periodic recharging or replacement?
The phosphorescent dial material recharges automatically from ambient light and requires no scheduled maintenance or replacement under normal use.
