Product Information

Full details

The Brannan Clip-On Pipe Thermometer (33/501/0) is designed for HVAC technicians, plumbers, and homeowners who need a reliable, non-invasive way to monitor temperatures in cold or chilled water lines. Its primary benefit is the quick-attach spring mechanism that allows for instant installation without cutting into the pipe, though users should note it is intended for surface temperature monitoring rather than direct immersion sensing.

FAQs

Can this be used on plastic pipes?

While it can physically attach to plastic pipes, plastic is an insulator; the reading will be significantly lower than the actual water temperature compared to metal pipes.

Does it require batteries?

No, this is a mechanical bimetallic thermometer and operates entirely without electricity or batteries.

What is the operating range?

The thermometer displays temperatures from 0 to +120 degrees Celsius/Fahrenheit.

Is the dial face glass-covered?

Yes, the dial is protected by a clear window to ensure visibility and protection against environmental elements.

Can this be mounted vertically and horizontally?

Yes, the spring clip is designed to hold the thermometer securely regardless of the pipe orientation.

Troubleshooting

Thermometer shows inconsistent readings

Ensure the back of the thermometer is in full, direct contact with the pipe surface and that the pipe is free from paint or debris.

The spring attachment is loose

Verify the pipe diameter is within the intended range for the spring clip; if the pipe is too thin, the thermometer may need supplemental securing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Tool-free, rapid installation process
  • Easy-to-read dual scale display
  • Durable metal exterior for long-term use
  • No disruption to water flow required

Cons

  • Surface temperature reading may vary slightly from internal fluid temperature
  • Requires adequate space around the pipe for the clip
  • Not suitable for high-vibration environments without extra securing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the thermometer, simply stretch the spring attachment around the pipe until the device sits flush against the metal. Ensure the dial face is oriented for easy reading. The thermometer is compatible with standard metal pipe diameters where the spring can provide sufficient tension. For care, wipe the metal casing with a soft, dry cloth to prevent corrosion. Avoid dropping the unit, as mechanical thermometers contain sensitive bimetallic strips that can lose calibration if subjected to high-impact shocks.
