1 month old Ranco Single Stage Temp Controller (YYC)

Bought this a month ago. Heat shrink-ed the probe (since the probe is not submersible without some sort of protection), wired (using high quality power cable single outlet). It is more of a gauging interest kind of post since I will just keep it for future use if I don't get the asking price. A brand new one off Zoro will cost you $100 (shipped+tax) + duty + power cable. $80 for a month old ranco should be a fair price.

Local pickup only please. Thanks for looking

So can the probe be put in water and left there?

I have read that people put in the probe directly into the water and have had no issues for years but that is not recommended by Ranco. The probes are water resistant and not water proof at the joint. Industrial equipment are typically underrated so that there is always room for error. I think since so many people didn't have any issue by directly submersing the probe, they are actually IP68 but Ranco states them as IP65.

Just to be on the safe side, I wrapped the joint with heat shrink to add an extra barrier.

Double checked the specs. The probe is IP67 (temporary submersion) and not IP65 (can withstand blasts of water).
