Need cover for thermocouple protruding from wall

[szoostrom]

I'm installing a pellet stove and the thermocouple for the controller will come out of a wall about 15 feet away. The stove manufacturer does not provide a thermocouple cover (that I know of). Is anyone aware of a small wall mounted cover?

I guess I could just make a small cage and paint it, but I'm wondering if there's something already available.

If you post a pic that may give people ideas.

I would search "Omega EWS" and see what you think. They make thermistor wall units. Maybe you could modify one of their units. They usually are not too expensive, $20 to $40 or so...

Maybe you can find one used on ebay or one that electrically doesn't work.

You could use a wall mount electronics enclosure. Like 789-S3A-442710-WP from mouser. Mount the slide in plate a the bottom after drilling a pattern of holes.

Thanks for the suggestions. Two sources that I wasn't aware of. I'll check them out.
