I would screw the thing together as tight as you can and then take a measurement of the gap. If it's bigger than the wall of your cooler, it may not work. Also look at the bottom of the cooler where you plan on drilling. Sometimes because of the angle it will be thicker so it may work. Calipers come in real handy for these kinds of things.

They should be more specific on the cooler wall thickness range that is accomodated. Yes, you can use washers to make up the thickness or change out the nipple.
Lowes sells them over by the fittings/faucet repair kits. I used #70 or something like that. They don't coincide at all with the ASTM numbering scheme, but you can take them out of the package and try it on the probe. I used something like 5 Orings in a stack to get a nice seal.

It looks like our coolers are a bit thicker! You can make it work, you would just need a handful of washers - about once inch's worth, to be precise. Alternatively, our kettle bulkhead might work for you. The kettle bulkhead is designed for less than 1/2".
