Abstract
A circular temperature gauge includes tubing which encloses a temperature sensor and a housing which encloses a needle connected to the sensor and a dial connected to the housing. The housing is secured with respect to the tubing such that the housing can be rotated to calibrate the indicator needle with respect to the dial. A slip bezel is mounted on the periphery of the circular housing. The force required to rotate the bezel with respect to the housing is less than the force required to rotate the housing with respect to the tubing. This prevents a worker who is in the process of installing the gauge from inadvertently rotating the housing with respect to the tubing and substantially miscalibrating the gauge.
