Apparatus include a fitting defining a distal end and conduit, where the fitting has a port inward from the distal end and which extends from the conduit to an outer surface of the fitting. A hose is sealingly connected with the fitting at the distal end, and a temperature measuring device is sealingly secured with the fitting through the port. In some cases, the temperature measuring device and fitting are sealingly secured with mating threaded structures. The temperature measuring device may incorporate RFID technology. Also, the fitting may have a flat region on the peripheral to secure the device. The temperature measuring device may include a temperature measurement component a distal end which is in contact with material resident in the conduit. The temperature measuring device may also have a display and a push button for activating the display, whereby temperature of material resident in the conduit is shown.
