Prandtl multi probe receptacle used for TE only?

Why aren't the O rings on the probe?

Must be an oversupply of engineers needing to design something like this O ring insertion tool.

If the grooves for O-rings were in the probe it becomes quite weak at the base. Aluminium or brass develops crack at groove area because TE probe vibrates a lot. My guess: they discovered that probe with O-rings/grooves did not last too long. BTW, one-way TE probe has usually a groove and O-ring in the probe. It cracks sometimes but it is easy to glue a new base part to an old probe. With two- or 3-way probe this is impossible.
