Weiss Industrial Glass Thermometer | A9VU6-120FC | 6″ Stem | 0-120°F/C
Product Description
The A9VU6-120FC is part of Weiss’s premium 9-inch scale industrial series. The “VU” (Vari-angle) designation represents a major innovation in field flexibility, allowing the thermometer head to be rotated 360° and tilted 180°. This ensures that technicians in Dubai and Abu Dhabi can position the scale for maximum readability, regardless of whether the pipe is horizontal, vertical, or tucked away in a corner.
This model is specifically scaled for 0-120°F (-17 to 49°C), providing the high resolution required for chilled water supply and return lines, where even a few degrees of variance can significantly impact cooling plant efficiency. The 6-inch (150 mm) stem provides ample reach to penetrate standard pipe insulation and extend deep into the fluid flow of mid-to-large diameter pipes.

Key Features
- Fully Adjustable Vari-angle Head: Eliminates the need for fixed “straight” or “90-degree” models, allowing for perfect visibility in any installation scenario.
- Chilled Water Optimized: The 0-120°F range offers high resolution for cooling systems, making it easier to monitor critical temperature differentials.
- 6″ Industrial Stem: Designed for mid-sized pipelines, ensuring the sensor capturing the true core temperature of the fluid.
- Eco-Friendly Sensitivity: Uses a high-visibility, non-toxic blue spirit liquid (mercury-free) that is environmentally safe and highly accurate.
- Rugged Valox® Housing: The case is made from impact-resistant GE Valox® polyester, designed to withstand the high humidity and mechanical stress of UAE plant rooms.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: Why use a 6″ stem instead of a 3.5″ stem?
- A: In the UAE, chilled water pipes are heavily insulated to prevent condensation. The 6″ stem ensures the thermometer reaches the water flow rather than just sitting inside the insulation layer.
- Q: Does this require a thermowell?
- A: For pressurized piping, this thermometer must be installed in a 6″ Weiss Thermowell (typically model E6-35BS) to ensure a leak-proof seal and allow for instrument removal without draining the system.
- Q: Is it resistant to the saline air in coastal areas like Dubai Marina?
- A: Yes, the Valox® case and glass front are highly resistant to corrosion and chemical degradation in salt-rich environments.
