Lochinvar Sensor Connection

The best way to go

is to get an 8" probe type 10k sensor That way, you'll read pretty near the

center of the tank. You'll also want to get the appropriate thermowell (8") in

stainless or brass. Remove the "Aquastat" probe/connection, which I believe is a

3/4" male thread connection. Install the thermowell into the port and insert the

sensor with heat transfer paste. There are also compression fittings available

to positively connect the probe sensor in the thermowell, which are

recommended.
