RE: Measuring CH water temperature?

["Phil Harris" <phil@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I used to use a jubilee clip and a bit of foam pipe lagging to hold
DS18S20's to the flow and return pipes to the heating coil of the cylinder
in my old house - worked fine.

You could fit a "T" in a pipe and mount a "sensor
pocket" (such as used
in a hot water cylinder) so that the tip is close to the main flow, then
stuff a 1-wire device in the the pocket.

Doubt it would read much different to just strapping one to the pipe
though...
