Stainless hex head thermowell fittings – hex head for socket-driven installation. The head, thread and well bore are machined in one clamping, keeping the bore concentric to the thread so the sensing element sits centered.
Function and Design
The hex head thermowell is judged by the dimension nobody checks until a failure – fit, seal or concentricity. Any drift in the hex head thermowell process is corrected at the machine, not sorted out at inspection.
Design Highlights
- Held across flats so ordinary wrenches work and the torque goes into the part.
- Being stainless, the hex head thermowell handles washdown, humidity and process media without a coating that can chip.
- Small trial quantities are possible before committing to production volumes.
- Material: stainless steel (304 / 316) for the hex head thermowell, with material certs issued together with the dimensional report.
- Process: drawn hex head thermowell, then machined sealing faces and pierced ports on the second operation.
- Finish: Natural by default on the hex head thermowell; plating, powder and e-coat options priced with the quotation.
- Size: Final dimensions of the hex head thermowell to your drawing; this page shows the family, your version is quoted from the print.
- Custom: OEM/ODM to drawing; the hex head thermowell is quoted from your print with material advice included.
Applications
It earns its place in NTC and PT100 probe assemblies, household appliance thermometers, industrial process instrumentation.
Our Production Advantage
Torque-bearing threads are gauged, not just cut. First articles are dimension-checked and pressure-tested, and production is sampled against the approved part.
