- 6 in probe and cable suit compact installations
Application Range
The Dayton 36GL12 is a Type J thermocouple probe built for measuring air, gas or liquid temperatures in industrial machinery. Its grounded junction and standard plug suit maintenance engineers and process technicians who need a direct replacement sensor. Buyers who require a different thermocouple type or a non-grounded junction should look elsewhere.
Sustained Measurement
The probe operates continuously from -346 Degrees to 2, 913 Degrees F (-210 Degrees to 1, 200 Degrees C) without drift. The 1/8 in x 6 in probe and 1/4 in MNPT or 1/8 in MNPT threads install directly into existing ports for stable, long-term readings.
Thermal Response
A grounded tip transfers heat quickly so the sensor follows rapid temperature changes in the medium. The six-inch cable keeps the plug clear of hot surfaces while the rugged construction resists vibration in motor and pump environments.

Questions about this item
How much heat can the Type J probe withstand during continuous operation?
The probe operates from -346 to 2,913 degrees Fahrenheit or -210 to 1,200 degrees Celsius, so it handles sustained high-temperature exposure within that range.
What process connection must my system provide for the 1/4 in MNPT fitting?
The probe requires a female 1/4 inch NPT threaded port; a 1/8 inch MNPT option is also listed if your port matches that size instead.
Will the standard plug on this probe connect to my existing Type J instrumentation?
Yes, the standard plug follows the Type J colour code and pin layout, so it mates directly with any compatible Type J meter or controller you already use.
