Wika 52822298 Bimetal Dial Thermometer 50-500F 6in Stem

Product Description

The WIKA 52822298 is a bimetal dial thermometer designed for industrial and mechanical temperature measurement in HVAC, plumbing, and process systems. It covers a temperature range of 50 to 500 degrees F (10 to 260 degrees C), making it suitable for monitoring hot water, steam, and air systems where a reliable analog readout is required. The stem is 6 inches in length and the connection is back-mounted, allowing direct panel or pipe-tee installation in tight spaces. The housing and stem are constructed from 18-8 stainless steel. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and mechanical contractors install this thermometer as a permanent monitoring point on piping, tanks, and equipment.

The WIKA 52822298 is well suited for residential and commercial HVAC systems, hydronic heating loops, domestic hot water systems, boiler supply and return lines, and general mechanical piping where continuous analog temperature monitoring is needed. The back-connected mount allows installation directly inline or through a thermowell on piping without extending the instrument outward from the surface, which is practical in panel or tight mechanical room installations.

Key Features

• Temperature range: 50 to 500 degrees F (10 to 260 degrees C)
• 6-inch stem length for adequate immersion depth in pipes and vessels
• Back-connected mount for flush panel and inline pipe installations
• 18-8 stainless steel housing and stem for corrosion resistance
• 1.0 percent accuracy rating for reliable analog readings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install bimetal dial thermometer for residential and commercial hydronic, HVAC, and mechanical piping systems using back-connected thermowell or direct-immersion configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or plumbers. Shut off and depressurize the system, or isolate the thermowell before removing or installing the thermometer. Use a thermowell where the process fluid is under pressure to allow future removal without system shutdown. Follow applicable ASME and IFGC guidelines for temperature sensing installations in pressurized piping systems.
