Product details
Weiss Small Pipeline Thermometer | 30-180°F & °C | Straight Mount
Product Description
This thermometer is specifically engineered for applications where a full-sized 9-inch industrial thermometer is not necessary or practical. Featuring a temperature range of 30-180°F (0 to 82°C), it perfectly covers the standard operating temperatures for domestic hot water systems in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, which are typically maintained below 140°F to prevent scalding while ensuring legionella control.
The Straight Mount configuration allows for a direct, vertical installation, making it easy to read when mounted on horizontal pipe runs. Its streamlined design ensures a rapid thermal response, providing technicians with accurate real-time data on heating efficiency within residential towers and light commercial mechanical spaces.
Key Features
- Compact Space-Saving Design: Tailored for 1″ to 2″ diameter pipelines where space is at a premium.
- Optimized DHW Range: The 180°F limit provides high resolution and clear visibility for standard hot water and heating return systems.
- Straight (Vertical) Configuration: Ideal for eye-level viewing when installed on horizontal piping or in-line on vertical risers.
- Dual Scale Display: Features both Fahrenheit and Celsius scales to meet international building codes and regional project specifications in the Middle East.
- Non-Toxic Filling: Utilizes a safe, high-visibility blue or red spirit liquid for easy reading without the hazards of mercury.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: Why use the 180°F range instead of the 240°F range?
- A: For domestic water systems, the 180°F range provides “tighter” scale increments, making it much easier to see small fluctuations in temperature compared to the wider 240°F scale.
- Q: Can this be used in chilled water lines?
- A: Yes, it will measure down to 30°F, but for dedicated chilled water monitoring, the 20-120°F model is usually preferred for better low-end resolution.
- Q: Is it easy to install in existing copper piping?
- A: Yes, these thermometers typically feature a 1/2″ NPT connection that fits easily into standard copper or PPR pipe tees using a small thermowell or adapter.
