Series 445L Standard Threaded Well for Industrial Glass Thermometers
Application:
Fits liquid-in-glass thermometers made to S.A.M.A.
standards. Tapered bore is made 0.008" oversize to
eliminate possibility of thermometer bulb expanding into
the well, thus preventing removal.
Connection Size:
3
⁄4" NPT and 1" NPT are standard. Other thread sizes
are available upon request.

Where single values appear in the velocity tables, these may be considered safe for water, steam, air or gas. In the
shorter insertion lengths, consideration is given to the velocity pressure effect of water flowing at higher velocities. The
values in parentheses, therefore, represent safe values for water flow, while the unbracketed values may be used for
steam, air, gas and similar density fluids.
