Flexible Flue Gas Probe

This Testo flexible flue gas probe is your go-to when you're trying to get a reading from a burner in a really tight spot. Its bendable plastic shaft means you can snake it into measurement apertures that are otherwise impossible to reach, like behind sloping ceilings or in cramped plant rooms. Anyone who's wrestled a rigid probe into an old boiler knows the frustration this little beauty solves.

Best For

• Heating system technicians dealing with older or cramped installations.
• Service teams needing to access obstructed flue gas measurement points.
• Apprentices learning to navigate tricky burner setups.

Compatibility

This flexible flue gas probe connects to your flue gas analyser via a standard bayonet fitting. It’s designed to work seamlessly with various Testo flue gas analysers, including models like the Testo 300 Longlife and Testo 300 NEXT LEVEL kits. If you're running a different model, check fittings and specs before ordering.
