Abstract
A venting probe insertion chamber that is attached to a uniquely designed port which combines the attributes of a probe insertion chamber along with the ability to vent to atmosphere gasses that are present in piping system. This invention combines the functions of two existing products in an economically viable product. This inventive design performs all task required without the need for O-rings or sealing elements present on prior art products. Creating a simpler to manufacture and maintain device that allow for a user to obtain accurate readings of temperature and pressure while using a minimal amount of tooling. The user is able to remove the protective cap while using only a single tool to prevent dislodgement of the product from the associated port. Current state of the art can potentially place a user in harm as accidental dislodgement of their product can occur having only a single operator.
