Cerbo GX Coolant Temperature Sensor Recomendations

Are there any recommendations for a threaded water or coolant temperature sensor that will work with the Cerbo GX. 1/8" or 1/4" NPT. 1) I would like to use the Cerbo GX to monitor my hot water tank temperature. I know I can use a standard temperature probe on the outside of the tank, but would prefer to have it in the tank. 2) I would like to be able to monitor the coolant temperature of my hydronic heating system. Thanks

You can easily fabricate your own temperature sensor. Use a genuine LM335Z temp sensor TO-92 pkg ($1.52) from Digikey (no chinesium knock-offs!! from Bay) and hardware from Brewershardware.com in Huntington Beach CA. You can source a 316SS temperature probe sheath 6" long and a 1/4" compression to 1/4" or 1/2" NPT coupling in 316SS from Brewers.
