Hey guys I have a quick question for you. I just installed my new thermocouple and I cannot get the Ferrell to tighten down on the probe.

is there some sort of trick I'm missing?

 

Yep something simple, now I feel dumb.
Hope this at least helps someone else.

 

Thanks.

 

Is everything good now?

 

What sort of update do you need?

Don't you just love AI

 

So this has become a thread where AI tells you how to work with your hands?
Brilliant!

 

1. Ensure the ferrule is correctly oriented (tapered side toward the fitting).
2. Fully seat the thermocouple probe into the fitting.
3. Tighten the nut gradually by hand, then use a wrench for a quarter-turn.
4. Check for any dirt or debris on the threads or ferrule.
5. If needed, try a new ferrule to ensure a proper seal.

 

Another first time poster with a totally useless and annoying contribution. Seems like AI never sleeps on this site and is growing.

 

AI, like RUST never sleeps.

 

You are right.
