Overview

Since Bayonet CHTs are made with short length leads, extending them is often necessary. CHTs and EGTs should be extended with type-K extension wire directly to the RDAC, or if the RDAC is mounted outside the engine compartment (or if you are connecting directly to a Single instrument) then type-K extension should be used at least until the sender lead exits the engine compartment (where temps are high).

The CHT/EGT extension kit includes type-K thermocouple wire. Splice barrels and a length of meltable-inner heat shrink tubing will be required for installation, Raychem SCL-3/16 heat shrink is recommended per manufacturer.. This heat shrink gets quite soft inside when it is heated up which eliminates all air inside the splice and makes an airtight seal.

Reviews

These leads are iron and constantan wires, I need to change the wires on Bell 47 and it has this type of extension wire number 16 Is this comparable?
