Temperature guage fittings

What type of fitting do most people use to install a temp guage. I know it depends on what type of guage you have.
I would like to be able to easily replace it if it fails. I would like to install a dial guage straight into a 2" straight SS tubing.

I have a 3 inch dial type that just has a 1/2 inch bsp socket soldered into the copper pipe.

Mac has some pretty nice looking dial type gauges in his shop, along with the appropriate fittings from memory.

Yeah only problem is the probe is too deep for 2" pipe :crying-blue:

Had a look, they are impressive :D

Macstill - do you have the relevant fittings for weld or weldless installation? I have a 2" diameter still but I will install it at an angle on a 90* bend which will allow intallation.
