ICMA Valve Thermometer 0-120C 50mm

The ICMA valve thermometer is a high-precision measuring instrument engineered specifically for heating and plumbing systems. With a temperature range of 0-120C and a 50mm probe, this device provides reliable and accurate monitoring of fluid temperatures directly within your piping infrastructure. Its robust construction ensures long-term stability, making it an essential component for maintaining the efficiency and safety of residential or commercial heating installations.

Advantages

This thermometer stands out due to its durable construction, utilizing a combination of high-quality aluminium, plastic, and stainless steel to withstand the rigors of constant thermal exposure. The clear, easy-to-read display allows for quick visual checks of system performance, helping users identify potential issues before they escalate. Its compact 50mm probe design facilitates seamless integration into standard valves and pipes without requiring complex modifications to existing plumbing layouts.

Suitable for

• Monitoring water temperature in central heating systems
• Checking fluid temperatures in domestic hot water circuits
• Integration into boiler manifolds and valve assemblies
• Industrial and residential plumbing temperature control

When it may not be suitable

This device is not intended for use in high-pressure steam systems or environments where temperatures exceed the 120C threshold, as this could damage the internal mechanism. It is also not suitable for measuring the temperature of highly corrosive or chemically aggressive fluids that may degrade the stainless steel or plastic components.

Key specifications

• Temperature range: 0-120C
• Probe length: 50 mm
• Dial diameter: 50 mm
• Materials: Aluminium, plastic, and stainless steel

How to use

To install the ICMA valve thermometer, ensure the heating system is depressurized and cooled to a safe level. Insert the probe into the designated thermowell or valve port, ensuring a secure fit to prevent leaks. Once installed, the dial will automatically begin to reflect the current fluid temperature. Periodically inspect the connection point for any signs of moisture or loosening to maintain accurate readings and system integrity.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing valve or pipe fitting is compatible with a 50mm probe length
• Ensure the operating temperature of your system does not exceed 120C
• Check the mounting port diameter to ensure a proper seal

Usage recommendations

For the most accurate readings, ensure the probe is fully immersed in the fluid flow and that the thermowell is free of debris or scale buildup. Regular calibration checks are recommended if the device is used in critical safety applications.
