Temperature Sensor housings

Anyone know a good place to buy temperature sensor housings for my DS18B20 sensors? I've been searching around and not found much under £15 which is pretty cheeky for a cheap bit of plastic.. I suspect I'm looking in the wrong places... I just don't know where the right places are!

How did you get them in? Is it an unvented hot water cylinder?

Re: Temperature Sensor housings

It's a cylinder designed for use with a solar heating system and has two ports for temperature probes, one at the top and one at the bottom, so I just use them. That said the bottom one is always about the same so I may well just repurpose it's sensor for the room next door to it.

Drill some vent holes in a RJ-11 or RJ-45 Wall box....
I've used RJ-11s in the past.Image
