This thermommeter will work fine. Before installing, calibrate in a small tub of ice topped with water then more ice. Should read 32 F after it acclimates fro a few minutes. If not, hold dial while turning adjustment on the back of dial for a 32 F reading. Mount in kererator for easy inspection and out of the way of keg.
Do not insulate the tower. Preferably use
flex tube and blower as discribed in this past post:

quote:If your kegerator came with a flex tube directing cold air from the evaporator, you are in good shape. If not, you will have to install a small 15 CFM blower and flex tube and force this up into your tower. Bridge the area from the kegerator to the bottom of the bar with the same size I.D PVC as the tower. Wrap the outside of this with insulation and try not to move the kegerator to much after install. Shove the flex tube into the tower as far as it will go without blocking the end to direct cold air to the shank.

As to the elevation change, increase pressure one pound for each 2000" change in elevation.
