Valves leaking back, a fouled intercooler, low oil, a belt slipping on the fan: all of it shows up as heat first. This is the rigid stem gauge that goes in the port and gives you somewhere to look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnection: 1\/4 in.

That last one matters most. Most refrigerated dryers are rated for an inlet around 100 F, and feeding one air at 150 F is the single most common reason a dryer that is sized correctly still passes water downstream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFitting it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBleed the line to zero before you open anything. The stem needs to sit in the air stream, not in a dead pocket off the side of a tee, or it reads low. Use a sealant rated for compressed air at temperature and do not over tighten against the case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAirComParts rigid stem compressed air temperature gauge, 1\/4 in.
