The Johnson Controls TE-6001-8 Bracket is an essential mounting accessory for professional HVAC contractors installing averaging temperature sensors. Specifically engineered for use with TE-6100 and TE-6300 series elements, this averaging element holder ensures that sensing probes maintain the critical 3-inch (76 mm) minimum bend radius required to prevent internal wire damage and ensure long-term signal accuracy. Without proper support, capillary-style sensors are prone to kinking, which leads to staggered resistance readings and premature failure in high-velocity duct environments. Constructed from durable materials designed for mechanical stability, the TE-6001-8 mounting bracket features a semi-circular clamp design centered on a square mounting boss for rapid field installation. It is intended for duct averaging sensor mounting, allowing for precise sensor placement across the air stream to achieve an accurate average temperature profile. Using a single sheet metal screw, this bracket provides a secure, vibration-resistant attachment point, making it the standard choice for HVAC sensor mounting hardware in commercial building automation systems. Key Benefits Ensures Minimum Bend Radius: Prevents 3-inch radius violations that lead to sensor probe fatigue and failure. High Compatibility: Direct fit for Johnson Controls TE-6100 and TE-6300 series capillary sensors. Quick Duct Installation: Simplifies the layout of averaging elements with a single-screw mounting boss. Mechanical Protection: Securely holds elements in place to resist shifting from high-static air pressure. Optimized Measurement: Facilitates proper "serpentine" sensor patterns for superior air temperature averaging. Common Questions Can this bracket be used with other sensor brands? While designed for 1/4-inch diameter probes typical of Johnson Controls series, it can accommodate various averaging elements that require a 3-inch bend radius support. How many brackets are typically needed per installation? Standard practice requires one bracket at every turn in the sensing element’s path to maintain the integrity of the probe’s bend radius. Is this bracket suitable for high-temperature applications? The TE-6001-8 is rated for standard HVAC duct temperatures typical of the TE-6000 hardware series; always check your specific sensor element's thermal limits.
