Ive seen the thermo on the end of a "T" where the sight glass runs up the leg and the other end bolts thru the sidewall.
You can also use a sheild on the T if it gets to hot.
EDIT: The one in the middle

It's an HLT, I wouldn't worry about it. If you're recirculating and are using it for mash temps, I'd pay more attention to the mash-tun temp gauge and really, I'd get some temp control set-up.
