Designed for rooftop unit and air handler duct monitoring, this duct temperature sensor reads -40 to 250°F (-40 to 121°C) with a 1000 Ω nickel RTD element. In addition, its 18" (45.7 cm) 304 stainless steel probe mounts through a galvanized steel NEMA 1 enclosure. An insulation pad seals the duct and dampens vibration.

The ACI Nickel Duct Series features a 1/4" diameter stainless steel probe with two, 22 AWG Etched Teflon colored lead wires to differentiate the different sensor types. The Nickel sensors are manufactured using ACI’s proven double encapsulation process to eliminate the effects of moisture on the sensors as well as increased thermal response times from our high quality, thermally conductive epoxy.
The duct style sensor is a single point sensor designed to be used in smaller duct applications and includes an insulation pad for sealing the duct and dampening vibration. For best results, the sensor length should be determined by the width or diameter of your duct such that the tip of the probe is in the approximate center of the duct. Our standard enclosure options include the galvanized junction box “-GD” or plastic duct enclosure with the hinged cover “-PB”.
On larger ducts, you may want to refer to our Rigid or Bendable Copper Averaging sensor for increased sensing points and better temperature control. This series can be ordered with optional NEMA/IP rated weather proof enclosures and NIST Certificates as referenced in the ordering grid.
