Description
Manifold Thermocouple (Model AKES-4×15) is a compact K-Type temperature sensor designed for applications where installation space is limited and conventional threaded or bayonet-mounted sensors cannot be used. Its 4 mm diameter sheath and 15 mm sensing tip make it the smallest thermocouple in Aavad’s wire-type range, allowing accurate temperature measurement in small drilled holes and confined assemblies.
Unlike threaded or bayonet thermocouples, this model uses a direct push-fit design that allows the sensing tip to be inserted directly into a compatible mounting hole. This simplifies installation in equipment where there is insufficient space for threaded bosses or bayonet locking mechanisms.
The thermocouple features an L-shaped body, which routes the cable away from the heat source at a right angle. This configuration helps reduce cable exposure to radiant heat, improves cable management, and is particularly useful in compact machinery where straight cable exits are impractical.

FAQs
1. What is a Manifold Thermocouple?
A Manifold Thermocouple is a compact industrial temperature sensor designed to measure temperatures in engine manifolds, exhaust manifolds, metal blocks, heated components, and other confined spaces where larger temperature sensors cannot be installed. Its compact construction provides accurate temperature measurement while occupying minimal installation space.
2. What is the advantage of a Push-Fit Thermocouple?
A push-fit thermocouple can be installed directly into a compatible drilled hole without requiring threaded process connections or bayonet fittings. This simplifies installation, reduces assembly time, and makes it ideal for compact equipment, OEM machinery, prototype testing, and applications with limited installation space.
3. Why does this Thermocouple have an L-Shaped Body?
The L-shaped body routes the extension cable away from the heat source, helping reduce cable exposure to high temperatures while improving cable management in confined installations. This design also minimizes cable bending and mechanical stress, contributing to longer sensor service life.
4. Where are Manifold Thermocouples commonly used?
Manifold Thermocouples are widely used in engine testing, exhaust manifold monitoring, automotive testing, diesel generators, industrial engines, OEM machinery, metal processing equipment, laboratory testing, research and development, and industrial automation systems where compact and reliable temperature measurement is required.
5. Can Manifold Thermocouples be customized?
Yes. Manifold Thermocouples can be customized with different thermocouple types (K, J, T, N), sheath diameters, insertion lengths, cable lengths, sheath materials such as SS316, SS310, or Inconel, insulation types, and termination options to meet specific OEM and industrial application requirements.
