Abstract
A tube packing extension assembly is provided, wherein a conventional cap fitting with plug fitting is replaced with a tube packing extension enclosure that incorporates an extended, linearly elongated outer tube sheath for circumscribing in a concentric manner any tube end that extends outward from the outer conduit sidewall. This outer tube sheath is formed as attached to a tube fitting connection nut, and provides an extension, of selectable size, that extends outward from the conduit sidewall, yet fully encloses and protects the end of the sensing tube. A tube packing extension cap can thereby be removably affixed to the outer end of the tube packing extension enclosure outward by a sufficient length should any brushing or purging of the tubes be required.
