Installation Fittings

Installing temperature sensor assemblies into thermowells or directly into the process will normally require the use of brass or stainless steel fitting.

Fittings include various threaded couplings, bayonet caps (and adapters) and flanges.

Adjustable compression fittings are used directly on probes to achieve the required insertion length in the process and to ensure the proper seating of probes into thermowells.

Adjustable flanges can similarly be used to secure the sensor assembly into the process.

Bayonet caps provide a method of quick fitting into suitable adapters located in the process; this technique is widely used in plastics machinery.

Bushes and hexagon plugs are used when adjustment or removal is a lesser consideration. The choice of fitting may be dictated by the need for pressure integrity or by physical size constraints.

Compression fittings and threaded bushes can be supplied with tapered threads to achieve a pressure-tight connection.
