Weiss Industrial Glass Thermometer | A9VU6-30-240 | 6″ Stem | 30 to 240°F/C
Product Description
The A9VU6-30-240 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 the pipe’s orientation or location.
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 6-inch (150 mm) stem provides excellent immersion depth to penetrate pipe insulation and reach the center of the fluid flow, ensuring a fast and accurate thermal response.
Key Features
- Universal Vari-angle Adjustment: Eliminates the need for specialized straight or 90-degree models, allowing for easy field adjustment to any viewing angle.
- Optimized Hot Water Range: The 30-240°F scale is specifically designed for standard heating and hot water applications in commercial buildings.
- 6″ Industrial Stem: Designed for mid-to-large diameter pipelines, providing deep immersion for maximum accuracy.
- Blue Liquid Sensitivity: Uses a high-visibility, non-toxic blue spirit liquid that is easier to read than traditional mercury and environmentally safe.
- Rugged Valox® Case: The housing is made from impact-resistant GE Valox® polyester, built to withstand the high humidity and heat of Middle Eastern mechanical rooms.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: Is this thermometer suitable for steam?
- A: It can be used for very low-pressure steam (up to 240°F), but for most steam applications, the 30-300°F or 50-550°F models are typically preferred for a higher safety margin.
- Q: Does this include the 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 maintenance without system shutdown.
- Q: Can the head be adjusted while the system is running?
- A: Yes, the Vari-angle adjustment is external to the pressurized part of the system, allowing you to reposition the head for better visibility at any time.
