Interesting, never thought about it.
Autometer sending units for trans temp gauges is one piece, no pressed in nothing, etc. etc. It's just a solid piece of brass that just get an electrical signal converted to degrees on the gauge - Im not sure how the other manufacturers work on their temp gauges.
What's the difference from having an 1/8 National Pipe Tapered (NPT) plug versus a sending unit installed? They're both solid (Autometer sending unit), nothing that I can physically see on the temp sender will blow out anymore than a pipe plug blowing out IMO. The tempature sender/pipe plug would have to unscrew itself a good ways for the either the plug or sender to literally blow out. What Im also trying to say, there is nothing there to blow out except the whole sending unit itself, which wouldn't happen as the plug that's in there from the factory doesn't "blow out" aslong as it's properly fastened.
The temp sensor is on the left;
