Bayonet Adapter for HVAC Sensors
The Tempco TCAR-1005 provides a secure bayonet connection for compatible temperature sensors in HVAC systems. Its silver finish identifies the plated steel construction used throughout the assembly. Installers working with 1/8 in. -27 NPT fittings will find this adapter matches the required thread specification.
Plated Steel Body Resists Corrosion Under Load
The plated steel body and nickel-plated steel sheath maintain structural integrity during continuous thermal cycling in HVAC environments. Metal adapter components prevent thread deformation when sensors are swapped during routine maintenance. The grounded or ungrounded classification is not applicable to this adapter design.
Silver Finish Aids Visual Inspection
The silver colour allows quick confirmation that the adapter is seated correctly against the mounting surface. A 7/8 in overall length keeps the sensor tip positioned within the airflow stream without protruding into ductwork. The 1/8 in. -27 NPT connector threads directly into standard HVAC control ports.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the plated-steel body add when the TCAR-1005 runs continuously?
The plated-steel body conducts heat from the sensor without adding its own thermal load, so continuous operation does not raise local temperature.
What sensor fitting must I already have for this bayonet adapter to connect?
You need a sensor that uses a bayonet-style adapter; the TCAR-1005 then threads into a 1/8 in. -27 NPT port.
Will the nickel-plated sheath work with an older sensor that has a different sheath material?
Yes, the nickel-plated steel sheath is compatible with existing bayonet-type sensors regardless of their original sheath composition.
