So can the probe be put in water and left there?

I have read that people put in the probe directly into the water and have had no issues for years but that is not recommended by Ranco. The probes are water resistant and not water proof at the joint. Industrial equipment are typically underrated so that there is always room for error. I think since so many people didn't have any issue by directly submersing the probe, they are actually IP68 but Ranco states them as IP65.

Just to be on the safe side, I wrapped the joint with heat shrink to add an extra barrier.

Double checked the specs. The probe is IP67 (temporary submersion) and not IP65 (can withstand blasts of water).

SOLD. Thanks for looking.
