Found this at menards
« on: October 29, 2017, 11:21:21 PM »
I found this at menards yesterday.  Strap on thermometer for pex.  Could be helpful in many ways to determine heat loss.  I bought one seems broken going to exchange.  I will keep everyone updated.

I tried them a few years ago if they are the same as the ones sold at lowes. Unfortunately they were wildly inaccurate.

 :post:  I bought one last year and I had the same results, very inaccurate.

I hear you need to put one single wrap of Black electrical tape on the pex before putting the temp gauge on. Makes a big difference.
