  • Product typeEnvironmental & Mechanical
  • Wide 50–550 °F range covers many applications
  • ±1 % accuracy gives reliable readings
  • Hermetically sealed stainless case resists moisture
  • 12 in stem reaches deep into processes
  • External adjustment allows quick field calibration

Application & Users

The Value Brand bimetal thermometer is a 5 inch dial instrument built for industrial and HVAC temperature monitoring. A hermetically sealed stainless steel case protects the mechanism in harsh environments. Technicians and plant engineers use it for direct reading of process heat without external power.

What the Specs Change

The 1/2 inch NPT back connection and 12 inch stainless steel stem allow insertion into pipes, tanks or ducts while the dial remains readable from the rear. An external adjustment lets operators calibrate the pointer on site. Glass window and sealed case keep moisture and dust out of the movement.

Before You Order

Confirm the 1/2 inch NPT thread matches your existing fitting and that a 12 inch stem reaches the measurement zone. Verify the 50 to 550 degree Fahrenheit range covers the process temperatures you encounter. The +/-1 percent accuracy suits general indication but not precision control loops.

Questions about this item

Does the hermetically sealed stainless-steel case need any periodic maintenance or gasket replacement?

The case is hermetically sealed with no user-serviceable parts, so no routine maintenance or gasket replacement is required.

What is the first accuracy limit that appears during continuous high-temperature use?

Accuracy is rated at ±1 percent of the 50 to 550 °F scale, which is the primary limit under sustained operation.

How much heat does the 12-inch stainless-steel stem add to the process when the thermometer runs all day?

The bimetal element is passive and adds negligible heat; the stem simply conducts process temperature to the dial.
