Stainless steel bimetal thermometer with 5 inch glass dial and 2.5 inch stem

Value Brand Bimetal Thermometer 5 in Dial 50 to 550 F

SKU CH-SCFB-AK33V

Measures 50 to 550 degrees Fahrenheit with a 5 inch dial and 2.5 inch stainless steel stem

  • TypeEnvironmental & Mechanical
  • Wide temperature range from 50 to 550 °F
  • Dual-scale readout in Fahrenheit and Celsius
  • 5-inch dial for clear visibility at a distance
  • 304 stainless steel housing resists corrosion
  • 5-inch stem with 1/2 NPT fits standard fittings

Purpose & audience

The Value Brand bimetal thermometer is a 5 inch dial instrument built for industrial temperature checks. It suits maintenance engineers, HVAC technicians and process operators who need a rugged, direct reading device.

When to upgrade

The 50 to 550 degree Fahrenheit range replaces narrower scale thermometers when processes run hotter or when a single gauge must cover both low and high set points. The jump is worth it if the current tool cannot reach 290 degrees Celsius or lacks a NIST traceable certificate.

Installation & pitfalls

The 2.5 inch stem threads into a 1/2 inch NPT back connection so fitting is a simple screw in. Common issues are over tightening the 304 stainless housing which can distort the glass lens and mounting the dial where vibration blurs the pointer.

Questions about this item

What size NPT fitting does the 2.5 in stem use?

The stem connects through a 1/2 in NPT thread, so the mounting port must match that thread size.

How is the thermometer installed and what step is often missed?

Thread the 1/2 in NPT stem into the process port and tighten with a wrench on the hex; the common mistake is turning the dial housing instead of the stem, which can damage the case.

When does the glass lens or 304 stainless housing need replacement?

Replace the unit if the glass lens cracks, fogs internally, or the 304 stainless housing shows corrosion or thread damage that prevents a pressure-tight seal.
