Kodiak Controls AS5L-9-30/240 Thermometer
The Kodiak Controls AS5L-9-30/240 is a heavy-duty industrial thermometer engineered for precise thermal monitoring in high-demand HVACR and process piping applications. Featuring a 9-inch adjustable angle scale, this unit offers a temperature range of 30°F to 240°F, making it an essential component for monitoring boilers, hydronic heating loops, and industrial hot water systems. The 6-inch stem ensures deep immersion for accurate core temperature readings, while the blue spirit-filled tube (non-mercuric) provides high visibility against the V-shaped aluminum scale without any hazardous material risks.
Built for the rigors of the field, the AS5L-9-30/240 utilizes a high-impact ABS case with a glass lens to protect against dust and environmental contaminants. The swivel nut connection features standard 1-1/4" - 18 NEF threading, ensuring seamless integration with standard thermowells used in commercial plumbing and mechanical rooms. This model is a direct variable angle thermometer that allows technicians to rotate the case 180 degrees and tilt the stem up to 90 degrees for optimal viewing in tight mechanical spaces, ensuring reliable performance in both horizontal and vertical pipe runs.
- Universal Positioning: Fully adjustable angle design allows for 180° rotation and 10° increment tilting, providing maximum visibility regardless of piping orientation.
- Industrial Build: Rugged black molded ABS construction provides superior durability and corrosion resistance compared to standard utility gauges.
- High Accuracy: Calibrated to +/- 1 scale division, ensuring NIST traceable reliability for critical HVACR balancing and commissioning.
- Technician-Ready Connection: The tapered bulb chamber and 1-1/4" connection ensure a snug, metal-to-metal fit within the thermowell for efficient heat transfer.
What is the thread size for the thermowell connection?
The AS5L-9-30/240 uses a standard 1-1/4" - 18 NEF swivel nut. It is typically installed in conjunction with a 3/4" NPT or 1/2" NPT thermowell (sold separately) to facilitate easy removal without draining the system.
Can this be used in steam applications?
With a maximum range of 240°F, this thermometer is suitable for low-pressure steam and hot water systems. For high-pressure steam applications exceeding 240°F, a higher-range industrial thermometer would be required.
Is the thermometer fluid hazardous?
No, this model uses a blue spirit-filled (kerosene-based) liquid, which is a safer, non-mercury alternative that remains easy to read in low-light mechanical rooms.
