Abstract

A component assembly of a gas turbine engine includes a component of a gas turbine engine, and an instrumentation probe installed to the component. The instrumentation probe includes a sensor body extending through a component wall, and a threaded fastener installed onto a complimentary thread of the sensor body to retain the sensor body. The threaded fastener is retained to the sensor body via deforming a threaded interface between the threaded fastener and the sensor body. A method of installing an instrumentation probe to a component of a gas turbine engine includes installing a sensor assembly of the instrumentation probe through a component wall, securing a threaded fastener to a complimentary thread of the sensor assembly to retain the sensor body, and deforming a threaded interface between the threaded fastener and the sensor assembly to prevent rotation of the threaded fastener relative to the sensor assembly.
