Thermocouple Feedthroughs with Split Internal Components
Series PSF and MSF- Split Pressure and Vacuum Feedthroughs for single and multiple elements
Series PSF (single element) and MSF (multiple elements) feedthroughs are similar to series MF feedthroughs, but have split internal components.
This permits elements, that have a larger diameter section other than at the sealing point and can pass through the feedthrough body but not through the internal components, to be installed easily. Examples are probes with fitted connectors and sensors with pot seals or bulbs.
There are three body sizes having 1/4”, 1/2” and 3/4” NPT process connections. Other process threads are also available, see back cover.
Spectite® feedthroughs are designed for ease of assembly and installation. Elements can be adjusted, removed and replaced when not under pressure or vacuum conditions.

- Individual elements can be replaced without complete disassembly
- Internal components – follower, sealant and seat are split to allow easy installation of elements with fitted connectors or large diameter sections.
- Designed to carry single elements 0.040” to 0.5” diameter and multiple elements from 0.040” to 0.250” diameter
- Pressure range: Vacuum to 10,000 psi *
- Temperature range: -328°F to +1,600°F *
- 316L Body (and seat where applicable). Follower and cap in 303 or 304
- Choice of sealant materials
- Immersion length of each element easily adjusted
- Reusable fitting – internal components replaceable
- A large range of feedthroughs is available to buy online
* Dependent on sealant and fitting selected - Internal components – follower, sealant and seat are split to allow easy installation of elements with fitted connectors or large diameter sections.

- 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.
