Model: WLSTNT -  $27

Offered by several requests, this kit is exactly the same as the weldless sight/thermo combo except it does NOT include the thermometer. The practical application for this kit is if you want to install your own thermometer or thermocouple for electronic monitoring.

Includes:

• 19" Polycarbonate Tubing rated to 250F (email me if you need a longer tube)
• SS Tee and Mounting Hardware
• High Temp. Silicone Gasket
• Stainless eye bolt for securing the tube to the top of your pot.
• Black Vinyl Numbers for each gallon mark from 2 to 15 (I have other number ranges for longer custom sights)

Install Requirements:

• Drill a clean 9/16" diameter hole in the side of your HLT or boil kettle and install liquid connection hand tight, or just snug with a wrench. The weldless system is 100% leak free the first time with no teflon tape or messing around.
• Drill a 1/4" hole in the top/side of your vessel and install eyebolt to hold the sight tube vertical.
• Don't forget to grab a Step Bit if you don't already have one.
• These will NOT work on kegs with the bulge in the sidewall, e.g. Hoff Stevens kegs. However, I can make a custom kit for these types of kegs. Please email me.
• If you use your own thermometer, a 4" or longer probe is recommended. IMPORTANT: The female threads on the tee are 1/4" NPT so you cannot use a thermometer with 1/2" threads.
• If you want to use a thermocouple, something like Auberins liquid tight unit should work well.

Options:

• 

  Select the configuration. The basic kit is described above. The other option is designed for a hoff stephens or Coors "bulge sided keg". It is more expensive due to the additonal parts needed.
• You can also add a 1/4" stainless plug (see picture right) in order to use this as a simple sight glass until you sort out  your thermoprobe situation. You can find the 1/4" NPT plug as a separate item on the SS Fittings page.
  

• You must specify if your vessel is straight sided or a converted keg. The tubing meant for a keg is threaded at a slight angle so that it remains vertical when installed into the curved bottom edge.
• The standard calibration numbers included with this kit is 2-15 gallons. If you have a slightly larger vessel than 15 gallons, you can also add an extension strip that will add numbers 16-25 as well as 24 smaller arrows for 1/2 gallon increments or if you would like to substitute 5-60 numbers for Litres, you must select them and add to cart below.
