Dayton 36GK79 Type K Probe
The Dayton 36GK79 is a Type K thermocouple probe with a 24 in sheath and mini plug connector. It measures air, gas or liquid temperatures from -325 to 2,280 degrees F or -200 to 1,250 degrees C. The ungrounded junction reduces electrical interference in HVAC and industrial control loops. This probe suits technicians who need a replaceable sensor for existing Type K instrumentation.
Compatibility check before ordering
Verify that your meter or controller accepts a Type K input with a mini plug connector. Confirm the process connection fits a 1/4 in MNPT or 1/8 in MNPT port. Ensure the 24 in probe length and 1/8 in diameter suit the insertion depth and space available. The transparent cable jacket should be rated for the ambient temperature at the installation point. Buyers who need a different thermocouple type or a larger connector cannot use this probe.
What the bundle changes
The probe ships as a single sensor with its integral 24 in cable and mini plug. No additional connectors, transmitters or calibration certificates are included. The ungrounded construction means the sensor can be installed directly in grounded metal piping without creating a ground loop. Users must supply any required compression fittings, wiring extensions or mounting hardware for their specific HVAC system.

Questions about this item
What comes in the box and what must be purchased separately?
The package includes the Type K thermocouple probe with a mini plug, 1/4 in MNPT and 1/8 in MNPT fittings, and a 24 in cable. A compatible meter or controller with a mini plug input is required separately.
Which probe length should I choose for my application?
This model provides a 24 in probe length (1/8 in x 24 in) suited for reaching into ducts, pipes or vessels where a shorter probe would not reach the measurement point.
What does the -325 to 2280 °F range mean in daily use?
The probe can measure cryogenic temperatures down to -325 °F and process temperatures up to 2280 °F, covering air, gas and liquid applications without changing sensors.
