Pipe mounted water temperature sensor

Has anyone come across a temperature sensor that would work mounted to the side of a hot water pipe near the hot water heater?

See the following:

Availability of High Temperature Sensor

I am looking for a ST-compatible temperature sensor with a range that extends to (or beyond) 225°F/108°C. My intended use scenario is to attach this to, and measure the temperature of, a steam pipe, so it would have to be capable of measuring contact temperature rather than (or in addition to) ambient temperature. If I am unable to find something off-the-shelf, is this something that could be made relatively easily?
