Recommended temperature probes

Probe Usage

80PK-1 The general purpose bead probe is for quick, accurate surface temperatures and air temperatures within ducts,

80PK-8 Pipe clamp probes (2) are essential for tracking continuously changing temperature differentials on hydronic

80PK-9 The insulation-piercing probe provides a sharp tip to pierce pipe insulation and flat probe tip for good surface

80PK-11 Flexible cuff thermocouple temperature probe is a convenient way to attach a thermocouple to a pipe while

80PK-25 The piercing probe is the most versatile option. Good for checking air temperature in ducts, surface temperature

80PK-26 The tapered probe is a good general-purpose gas and surface probe, with a good length and low mass tip casing
