Is the screw thread at the base of the thermomter, or throughtout the entire metal stem? I have two thin metal sheets that span over 1/2 inch.

The stem is 3 inches long in total. Only the top 1 inch is threaded. The remaining 2 inches at bottom are smooth.

I am having the same problem! I have adjusted the screw and still no luck. I am at the point of getting rid of it and buying a new one. Very disappointing, especially considering how expensive they are. Wish I could be more help

I have had similar problems with the probe. Mine broke a few months after I first purchased the therm/timer. I didn't think to complain. I bought a whole new timer thinking it was a faulty thermometer mechanism of the Therm/Timer- no, it was the probe. It seems the connection between the metal probe, itself and the wire connection is weak and breaks easily (at least this was the prevailing comments from others) I've been very careful to not bend it so much and it seems to be OK, now. However, I'm done with this Polder model. I think you ought to demand reimbursement.

Mine is inaccessible to measure, but it is installed in a 1.25" top. Studying the photo, it looks like somewhere around 3". It has been a year since I held it in my hands but I recall that it was an impressive length of thread. I hope I am not misleading with my estimated thread length, but it appears that from the bezel to the end of the threads = significantly more than two of the receptacles in distance.

The other poster was correct. The white piece acts as the nut... the threaded rod that goes into the fan itself to which that plastic nut is screwed on to would be the "screw". In fact I replaced that threaded rod myself as the one with the fan was not quite long enough once I tiled the backsplash. The threaded rod and consequently the plastic screw piece are 1/4"-20 for reference.

The top cap is a separate piece and larger in diameter than the stem mount dia. This means you can't take the stem off the top!! Just a mention as I didn't think of that. Not a huge issue, but something to be aware of

The white portion, which the is larger thread for a normal bulb base, is 1 1/2 inches.

I've been told that there is better heat distribution with the thicker metal. Hope that helps :)

The body of the tool is 4-7/8" long plus 1/2" for the knob. The thread length is 1/2". If your threads have minor damage, this tool might work ok, my threads where to far gone to recover.

I also have this problem with the soldering iron pencil, the plastic of the thread that holds and covers the tip and resistance was heated and expanded, now the thread does not fit well and be seen. My solution was to put aluminum foil around to get them to hold, I think it's a problem of material and workmanship, for the rest I have no problem.

The tip is probably 3/8 of an inch wide or so. Depending on how narrow the area you are working with depends on whether it will work for you or not. The idea is to run the plastic welding rod through the insert on top of the tip and when it melts, it drips into the area you are working meaning the tip doesn't go into the area rather than over the top of the area you are welding.

I like Terrence's answer. However, I must have had long stems so I used the original flange against the wall then the escheution followed by the handle. I had to cut off part of each flange nearest the handle and get longer screws.

I cut mine using a tightly press steel edge as a guide and a utility knife. Cut threads were then melted using a lighter. The rubber burns so be careful with the flame.

Per my husband: it does not matter. when you install it, make sure it's closed. When the temp heats up, keep tabs and make sure it is opening how far you want. It will always close, the screw is an adjustment knob for positioning. My husband (who actually reads Instructions) says it comes with really good instructions.

Thread size is 1/2-inch NPT. Fits into a threaded 1/2-inch female copper pipe end.

Hi, there is a hex nut that holds the stem to the dial. I measured it, and it is 11mm. That is an unusual metric size. An adjustable wrench would work perfectly. The nut isn't very tight, so pliers would work OK.You would of course need an accurate thermometer to set it to.Boiling water is OK if you live close to sea level. At 3000 ft altitude, water boils at 206 degrees F.At Denver (mile high), water boils at 202 degrees.My thermometer did not come with a wrench. That would be a good idea.Mine was set close enough for cooking, maybe not for lab work.
