Honeywell 700-3 swivel mount for s700/s800, 1/2"x1/2"
The Honeywell 700-3 is a swivel mount designed for use with s700/s800 series temperature sensors. As a mounting accessory, it allows the sensor to be rotated and fixed at a chosen angle, which is useful when the probe must be correctly oriented relative to a pipe, immersion well, or surface. The swivel mount typically consists of a body with two 1/2" connections, one on each side, enabling it to be installed inline between a sensor and a pipe thread or between a sensor and an immersion sleeve. Parts of this type are selected primarily by thread size and by the diameter or form of the sensor they are meant to hold. The 1/2"x1/2" designation indicates that both ports have a 1/2" female or male thread, though the exact gender is not specified here. When replacing a swivel mount, ensure that the thread standard (BSP, NPT, or other) matches the existing fittings, and that the mount can accommodate the sensor body without interference. The swivel feature adds flexibility in tight spaces where a fixed mount would force the sensor into an awkward position or prevent proper cable routing. Although the catalogue category groups this article with sensor components, the mount itself does not contain any electronic sensing element; it is a mechanical part that positions and secures the sensor. For troubleshooting, if a sensor is reading incorrectly, check that the swivel mount is tightened enough to hold the sensor firmly and that the probe's contact surface (for clamp-on types) is fully against the pipe. A loose mount can cause air gaps or poor thermal contact, leading to erratic temperature readings.
