Stainless steel bimetal thermometer with 5 inch dial and 9 inch stem

Value Brand

Value Brand Bimetal Thermometer 5 in Dial 50 to 550 F 9 in Stem

SKU CH-YK2X-2CKW2

Measures 50 to 550 °F with a 9-inch stem and 5-inch dial, supplied new with a NIST-traceable certificate

  • TypeEnvironmental & Mechanical
  • Wide 50–550 °F range covers high-heat tasks

  • 9 in stem reaches deep into tanks or ducts
  • Stainless-steel housing resists corrosion in harsh environments
  • Glass lens protects dial from dust and impact

Purpose-built temperature monitoring

The Value Brand bimetal thermometer is a test and measurement tool designed for industrial and mechanical environments where reliable temperature indication is required. It suits technicians and maintenance teams who need a direct-reading instrument without external power. It is not suited for applications that demand electronic data logging or remote telemetry.

Thermals, noise and power draw

The bimetal sensing element operates passively across a range of 50 to 550 degrees Fahrenheit and 10 to 290 degrees Celsius. No electrical supply is needed, so the instrument draws zero power and produces no audible noise during normal use. Response time follows the inherent thermal mass of the 9 inch stainless steel stem and glass lens assembly.

Included certification impact

The unit ships without a NIST-traceable calibration certificate, so users requiring documented traceability for quality audits must arrange separate certification. The 1/2 inch NPT back connection and stainless steel housing allow direct installation into compatible process fittings without additional adapters. Glass lens construction resists common solvents encountered in mechanical settings.

Questions about this item

How do I install the thermometer using the 1/2 in NPT back connection, and what step is often missed?

Thread the 9 in stem into a 1/2 in NPT fitting on the vessel or pipe, then tighten with a wrench on the hex flats — do not turn the dial case or the glass lens will crack.

What maintenance will the thermometer need over time?

Check the glass lens and stainless housing for corrosion or clouding; if the pointer drifts outside the 50 to 550 F range, replace the unit because the bimetal coil cannot be recalibrated in the field.

What limit appears first during sustained high-temperature use near 550 F?

The 290 C upper scale limit is reached first; prolonged exposure at that temperature can fatigue the bimetal element and cause permanent calibration shift.
