Honeywell 107408 Heat Conductive Compound, 4 ounces
A 4 oz heat transfer compound used in sensor wells to improve thermal contact for more accurate temperature sensing.
Key Features:
- Heat conductive compound / heat transfer compound
- Volume: 4 oz.
- Stated use: for use in sensor wells for more accurate temperature sensing
- Application listed as Maintenance
Compatibility & Applications:
- Intended for use in sensor well applications where improved thermal contact is needed for temperature sensing .
- Must only be used where the manufacturer specifies this exact part number: 107408.
Installation & Operation Notes:
- Installation/application should be performed by a qualified technician or an installer familiar with temperature sensing devices and immersion well applications.
- Refer to the controlled equipment's service/installation manual for the correct sensor/well installation method and any safety requirements.
- Q&A guidance includes practical application tips for deep immersion wells (examples provided by respondents): using a utility syringe with tubing, a cotton swab, or a wooden stick to place compound into the well before inserting the sensing bulb.
- Q&A includes a manufacturer limitation relayed by SupplyHouse: "Do not use above 300°F."
Maintenance & Troubleshooting:
- This compound is commonly used when a temperature sensor in a well is not sensing accurately due to poor thermal contact; applying heat transfer compound is intended to improve heat conduction between the sensor and the well .
- If temperature control remains unstable after applying compound, follow the equipment's diagnostics for the specific sensor/controller and verify correct sensor placement and contact per the equipment documentation.
User Reviews & Q&A Summary:
- Review themes commonly describe it as effective for Aquastat/immersion well temperature sensing applications, with users noting improved sensing behavior after use.
- Several reviewers mention the container size is more than most users need for occasional service work (described as a "lifetime supply" for DIY use), and some comment that it feels expensive but necessary for the application.
- Additional review use-cases include applying it as a heat transfer medium for other temperature-sensing/heat-sink style needs (examples mentioned include mini-split circuit boards and chiller temperature sensors).
- Q&A themes focus on temperature limitation (300°F max use), application methods for getting compound into a deep well, and general "paste-like" consistency feedback.
