Ashcroft 30EI60R060 Bimetal Dial Thermometer 3in Dial 6in Stem

Product Description

The ASHCROFT 30EI60R060 is a bimetal dial thermometer built for accurate temperature monitoring in industrial and mechanical systems. It features a 3-inch dial diameter and a 6-inch stem length with a back-connected mount, making it suitable for inline and panel installations where rear entry is required. The housing and stem are constructed from 316 stainless steel, providing strong resistance to corrosion and harsh process environments. Operating range spans -20 degrees C to 120 degrees C, with an accuracy rating of 1.0 percent. A glass lens protects the dial face, and the unit carries NEMA 4X and IP66 ratings for washdown and moisture-exposed service. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and instrumentation professionals commonly install this type of thermometer.

This thermometer is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC, plumbing, and process piping applications where reliable local temperature indication is required. Back connection orientation suits manifolds, headers, and pipe tees where the stem enters from the rear. The 316 stainless steel wetted parts make it appropriate for mildly corrosive media including treated water systems, hydronic heating loops, and chilled water circuits. Quick-span and limited-span adjustments allow field calibration without removing the unit from the line.

Key Features

• 3-inch dial diameter for clear local readout at the installation point
• 6-inch stem length for adequate immersion depth in standard pipe sizes
• 316 stainless steel housing and stem for corrosion resistance
• Glass lens with NEMA 4X and IP66 environmental protection
• 1.0 percent accuracy with field-adjustable span calibration
• 5-year limited warranty from the manufacturer

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation bimetal dial thermometer for back-connected temperature sensing applications in HVAC, plumbing, and light industrial piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, or instrumentation technicians. Shut down and depressurize the system before installing or removing the thermometer stem from any pressurized pipe or vessel. Use a properly sized thermowell when the application requires removal under pressure or involves high-velocity flow that could damage the stem. Ensure the connection fitting matches the back-connection thread type and apply appropriate thread sealant per local plumbing or mechanical codes.
