Having the thermowell attach to the lid of a fermenter is ideal as it means the penetration through the fermenter body is at the top of the fermenter not below the liquid line. This makes the whole process more sanitary and reduces the number of difficult parts to clean.
This thermowell can be pushed through a bung with a 6-8mm hole but it's also includes the duotight bulkhead fitting that you can use to attach this thermowell to the lid of your KegMenter or FermZilla Fermenter.
This thermowell goes right into the middle of the core of your vessel meaning you get an accurate core reading of the liquid in the tank/vessel.
Please Note: You will need to make a score line for the duotight to grip into and not slide out under pressure.
To do this you will need a pair of Tube Cutters Here.
This tool can also be used to cut and shorten the thermowell if you are using it in a shorter fermenter.

"Very useful piece of gear. Easy to use and get accurate readings of brew temperature."
"Second one i own"
"Great item. Ezy to trim"
"Using with my Fermzilla + Rapt fermentation chamber extension probe. . . Perfect."
"Does what it should, and great value for money"
"Best idea to measure the real temperature of wort"
"Ami me salió disparado a 2 bares de clavo en el techo la varilla"
"Very easy to install and can be cut to any length."
"I found this to be an easy and worthwhile install. no more tape and insulation yay! The job took less than ten minutes including shortening the tube by 10cm and adding a cut down silicone bung to protect the probe but that probably wasn't really necessary. Drilling the hole was made easy by the centre divot on the underside of the fermzilla lid which was a very nice solution to save time and effort, thanks kegland. overall the quality is good tools needed: 13mm drill bit tools recommended: step drill bit and 22mm socket wrench or shifter"
"Very easy to install in the fermenter. Temperature control i has been way more even. Very good investment and cheap, price not qualty"
