    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.
