Camlocks off Therminator?

[user 246304]

Great idea and many thanks for this and others, trippr. 93F today. I dig kettle steam, loved the heat of the kitchen - but am an ambient heat wimp. Bring on autumn, can't wait to brew!

[...]I thought 2 1/2" myself, but when I measured my 1/2" tee, I couldn't see how a 2.5 would fit in there, as it's only just short of 1.5" in length from the base to the mouth of the tee. I must be missing something...stem length includes the portion buried in the dial, etc., yes?

I'm pretty sure the "stem" is just the 1/4" diameter probe section.
Amazingly Miljoco doesn't have a decent engineering drawing but where it mentions the stem length it specifies 1/4" diameter.

Here's a view from above:


The long side of the tee is 2.125" overall length, there's about 1/8"" of the pc riser showing and about 1/4" of the thermometer threads showing.
That would put the tip of the probe somewhere inside the pc riser.

btw, you can see how close the ports are side-by-side...

Cheers! (it was hella hot here today as well. It's been awhile since I've had to run the A/C this late in the year)

Took a while to confirm that as I just discovered (like four years later) my 12" chiller has the sticker from one of their 7" long B3-12A models

Lol, we've had problems getting our stickers correct for *years.* Definitely not our strong suit.

Glad to see it working so well, beautiful rig!

THanks, trippr. Also, I don't know why but as usual I was spacing and had the thermo in another part of your tee. I see now it's a non-issue.
