An electric immersion thermometer, for use in a device such as a mixing faucet, is disclosed. The immersion thermometer includes a body which houses a temperature sensing assembly in which the sensing element is encapsulated or laminated in a plastic sheath or jacket. The encapsulating sheath being formed from a plastic thermally shrinking tubing and a plastic bracket for mechanically supporting the thermometer. A plastic insert also can be mounted in the body of the immersion thermometer that is coupled to the faucet. The plastic jacket has good heat conducting and electrical insulating properties.
