Cole-Parmer Industrial Bimetal Thermometer, 5” Dial, Back Connect, 12” Stem, 0/250F & -20/120C

Description

Distinguished by its mounting configuration, this Cole-Parmer thermometer features a back-connect design. The 12-inch stem attaches directly to the center rear of the 5-inch dial housing, creating a straight, in-line profile. This layout is often preferred for panel or wall mounting where a lower protrusion is desired. The temperature range is standard for many applications, covering 0 to 250°F and -20 to 120°C. The extended stem length provides greater reach for immersion into deeper tanks or vessels. As a bimetal instrument, it functions mechanically without batteries or wiring; temperature changes cause a coiled element in the stem to rotate, moving the dial pointer. It is suitable for general-purpose temperature indication in industrial, facility, and maintenance contexts where a simple, reliable gauge is required.
