Weiss Industrial Glass Thermometer | A9VU35-240FC | 3.5″ Stem | 30 to 240°F/C
Product Description
The A9VU35-240FC is part of the premium Weiss 9-inch scale industrial series. The “VU” (Vari-angle) designation refers to its fully adjustable mounting system, which allows the thermometer head to be rotated 360° and tilted 180°. This ensures that technicians in Dubai and Abu Dhabi can position the scale for perfect visibility, regardless of whether the pipe is horizontal or vertical.
This model is scaled for 30 to 240°F (0 to 115°C), making it the ideal choice for Domestic Hot Water (DHW), heating water supply, and return lines. The 3.5-inch (90 mm) stem is the standard length for small-to-mid-sized pipelines, providing accurate immersion into the fluid stream for a rapid and reliable thermal response.
Key Features
- Universal Vari-angle Adjustment: Eliminates the need for specialized straight or 90-degree models; easily adjusts in the field to suit any viewing angle.
- Optimized Hot Water Range: The 30-240°F scale is specifically designed for standard heating and hot water applications in residential and commercial buildings.
- 5″ Standard Stem: The most versatile stem length, fitting perfectly into standard pipe tees and mechanical systems.
- Blue Liquid Sensitivity: Uses a high-visibility, non-toxic blue spirit liquid (mercury-free) that is environmentally safe and easy to read against the white scale.
- Rugged Valox® Case: The housing is made from impact-resistant GE Valox® polyester, built to withstand the high humidity and mechanical vibration of UAE plant rooms.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: Is this thermometer suitable for chilled water?
- A: While it will work, the 0-120°F model is better for chilled water as it provides much higher resolution for those lower temperatures.
- Q: Does this include the thermowell?
- A: For pressurized systems, this thermometer must be installed in a 3.5″ Weiss Thermowell (typically model E35-35BS) to allow for safe replacement without draining the pipes.
- Q: Is the case resistant to the saline air in UAE coastal areas?
- A: Yes, the Valox® case is a specialized polyester that is highly resistant to corrosion, moisture, and chemical exposure.
