Tempil 28052 Tempilstik Temperature Indicator 900F

Product Description

The TEMPIL 28052 is a Tempilstik temperature indicator stick rated at 900 degrees F and measuring 5.5 inches in length. It is a contact-applied thermal indicator used to verify surface temperature on metal, pipe, and other substrates during brazing, welding, soldering, and heat treatment operations. When the stick is applied to a surface that has reached its rated temperature, the tip liquefies, giving a clear visual confirmation. HVAC technicians, pipefitters, plumbers, and welders rely on this type of indicator to ensure proper preheat and interpass temperatures without the need for electronic instrumentation.

The 28052 is suited for trade applications where surface temperature verification is required prior to or during joining operations. Common scenarios include copper and steel pipe brazing in plumbing and HVAC work, carbon steel preheat verification before welding, and controlled heat treatment of fittings and structural components. The 900 degrees F rating targets mid-range preheat and process temperatures frequently encountered in these trades.

Key Features

• Single-point temperature rating of 900 degrees F for unambiguous pass/fail confirmation
• Contact-applied stick format requires no batteries, calibration, or warm-up time
• 5.5 inch length keeps hands at a safe distance from the heated workpiece
• Tip liquefies at rated temperature, providing an immediate visual indicator
• Compact form factor fits in a tool pouch or service bag

Compatibility

Designed for use on metal surfaces including steel, copper, and cast iron during welding, brazing, soldering, and heat treatment processes where a 900 degrees F surface temperature indicator is required.

Installation Notes

Temperature indicator sticks are typically used by licensed pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and welders as part of a preheat or process verification workflow. Apply the stick by touching the tip to the workpiece surface periodically during heating — do not hold it in a flame. Always follow applicable codes such as IFGC and ASME B31 series standards for brazing and welding procedures. Allow the workpiece to cool safely before handling or beginning subsequent operations.
