Thermoprobe/thermocouple sourcing help

[Guerilla Distillah]

Hey everybody, I have built a duel PID control box to operate my brewery. The PID controller's that I bought came with thermal couples but they have metric threads on the probe end. I cannot find it on eBay or Amazon, a replacement probe with standard NPT connecting probe. At least not one any more local than China which will take a month to receive. Anybody out there have any suggestions? Just your basic universal K type probe with the U-shaped connectors for the back of your PID controller.

Thanks for your help

Can you use a tap to change the NPT hole to metric threads

15 bucks you could have gotten a weldless probe compression bulkhead. Drill a 1/2" hole and insert your bulkhead and insert your probe. Easy and cheap. Good quality and not from China!
Brewhardware.com under the bulkhead tab.
Good luck

These guys are real good to deal with. Ryan the owner has always been very helpful to me.
