Review on 🌑️ Enhance Temperature Monitoring with Dewhel Aluminum Black Water Temp Meter and Sensor Adaptor by Dusty Tofte

Revainrating 3 out of 5

34mm is actually 32mm

I measured the upper radiator hose on my 1990 Toyota 4runner to get the correct sensor housing size - my measurements were 34mm. I was thrilled that 34mm was an option, so I jumped up and down and ran to the "Add to Cart" button. Two days later, a shiny red block of aluminum was already waiting for me in the mail. Like a kid on Christmas Day, I tore open the package and cut open the box. She looked small. I compared it to a radiator hose and indeed it looked small. I put a hose on it and the hose was VERY easy to put on. He was a bit small. I pulled out my trusty $9.95 digital calipers and measured the tube - 31.85mm. I measured the burr at the end of the tube - 33.87mm. Soooo, apparently the factory measures the comb at the end, not the tube itself. The finish looks nice, the aluminum looks thick enough that the clamps don't squeeze it like a soda can; At the end of the day I put it on the shelf and ordered 36mm - they're too cheap to handle shipping back. And here's the point. The order is 2mm larger than the pipe you connect it to.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Some imperfections
