Multi Thermocouple Feedthroughs
Series MF - Pressure and Vacuum Feedthroughs for Multiple Elements
A single access port into an enclosure or process vessel is all that is needed to allow multiple probes, sensors, etc., to pass through an environmental or pressure boundary using a single feedthrough assembly.
Series MF feedthroughs can seal multiple elements within a single assembly including typically up to 40 x 0.040” dia., up to 12 x 0.125” or up to 4 x 0.250”. Please refer to the table for further details of feedthrough capacity and sizes of elements.
There are four body sizes having 1/8”, 1/4”, 1/2” and 3/4” process connections with NPT threads. Contact us for other thread type availability.
Spectite® feedthroughs are designed for ease of assembly and installation. Elements can be adjusted, removed and replaced when not under pressure or vacuum conditions.

- The guide pressures shown for each type of sealant are at 68°F (20°C). Spectite® feedthroughs from TC Inc. have been designed to provide an efficient seal on the elements and restrain them from moving under pressure and vacuum. It is good installation practice to provide additional, mechanical restraint to the elements when differential pressure exceeds 50% of the feedthrough guide pressure value at 68°F (20°C). With an increase in temperature, a reduction in the maximum guide pressure value can be expected. These ratings are a guide and the suitability of any of the products described herein for a particular application is entirely at the discretion of the purchaser as being the best judge for that particular application.
- Other types of process connection are available, see Feedthrough Sizes.
- The element diameters shown are the common sizes routinely demanded for general industrial applications. Other sizes can be supplied between the minimum and maximum diameters shown.
