Probe has a clear plastic tube covering it. Should this be removed before installation?

My understanding is that it stays in place. You could call Atwood or trailer dealer.

I don't remember removing any from my unit before installing it, I would not. It's probably there to prevent residue from collecting on the sensing temperature probe.

You do not place the probe in the item on the grill and leave it. Just test the item and check the done condition and remove it

your trying to check the ambient temp and the tip should be not be touching the grate ....rember its the tip of the probe that does the reading >>>>> it comes with a holder

Like everyone else is saying, you can simply peel it off. This is also useful for fixing a bad install. Although, I have gotten small particles under mine on install and now they're really embedded into the shield.

I'm not even sure what you're referring to, and I certainly don't have anything like a "plastic cover" on mine, so I'd say remove it. Hope it works as well for you as it has for me....for MANY years!

Yes. Just make sure the probe cable doesn't touch any hotspots and isn't jammed in anything.

I saw your answer on unclogging a tube inside, but how do you get the back and sides off? I removed screws and plastic caps, but can't remove the cover. By the way: one unit leaks, but I have another that has been working perfectly for 2 years.

Maybe. If there is a tab to grab, pull it off. If it is a plastic coating that does not have a tab it may be pressed off when it is installed.

I suggest that you test it first -- not all probes are the same even if the plug on the end is the same.

Both the probe and the wire are submersible, not the union where they meet. Do not put in dishwasher, or soak it in water- for cleaning purposes.

No, only the ph probe is replaceble since it has an aproximate lifespan. The other probe is attached to the display screen, and cannot be removed.

if you are speaking about the plastic clear cover then is not really a problem . if you are speaking about the hose or the gauge it self then it is better get rid of it and get a new one, Remember you are dealing with pressure and with faulty equipment it won't give you the right reading, the hoses will pop open from the pressure also will let the work properly.

I say no as it can mess with the RTD and temps. If you do, keep it away from the probe. (This is from rec tec themselves)

yes mine did the same thing, the probe fell off and never worked again, it happened 4 or 5 days after i bought it

No - the instructions clearly state that the cable should not be placed in water! To clean the probe, just wipe off the tip with a cloth or napkin. Don't let the cable get wet. I have owned one for years, and it has always worked fine until recently. I had to replace the cable.

No do not remove it. Make sure the pipe is clean and free of burs before installing it and make sure you push hard to set it correctly
