Did you factor in the heatsink effects the pitot mast and airframe affect in temp dissipation?
Glad to see you are using Safeair fittings, best in my opinion!

Howdy everyone. This may be useful to someone; a link to my work so far on my heated pitot installation:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6d73WsSo2M

There is another video demonstrating how the pitot itself is mounted to the access cover.

All in all it seems to be very mechanic friendly and should the need arise, easy to disassemble and repair.
