This versatile all stainless in-line thermometer features a 3" dial, 0 - 220 F. range, and ½" female NPT in and out fittings. Designed to monitor wort temperature coming out of a heat exchanger or counterflow chiller, this screws directly onto the wort out fitting on any heat exchanger or counterflow chiller with a standard ½" male npt outlet. Also fits the outlet of a March Wort pump.

The stainless thermometer is screwed into a stainless cross fitting, that has ½" female npt ports all around. A stainless plug is provided for plugging the output side you do not use. Be sure to use teflon tape when installing this on your chiller or pump.

Great Thermometer

This thermometer works great when connected to a March pump and used for mash recirculation.

Excellent device

I use this to monitor the temperature of the wort exiting my plate chiller.   Temperature change is nearly instant and is easy to read.  The pros and cons:

PRO:
 - temperature range covers all pitching temperatures for lagers or ales.  
 - the device tolerates boiling temps, meaning I can sanitize the entire system by recirculating boiling wort through the chiller and thermometer towards the end of the boil. 
 - 1/2" size matches the March pump and Shirron chiller and won't slow down wort flow

CON:
 - the dial is a bit bulky, so I chose not to attach it directly to the wort out fitting of my Shirron chiller because on my system it would make it difficult to attach/detach my cooling water hose.  
 - no built-in mounting bracket, but it was easy to improvise one.  I chose to attach it to the side of my brewstand with metal straps, which worked very well.  Heavy duty thermoplastic tubing attaches it to the chiller.
