I have one of these on the way
It is most common way: 2 valves, bottom one for drainage and upper valve for input.
Inside it has elbows for recirculation (although I changed input pipe and position it vertically so cool wort is running on top- to avoid circulation of cool wort since output valve is near input, as you can see on pic).
Other than that, it has sight glass mounted on T connection (just to avoid drilling another hole).
Meanwhile, I made little upgrade on MLT- 4" RTD probe to monitor mash temperature (positioned under the center of keg).

Can't see my whole set up but here is my HLT...brew kettle is a twin of the HLT.
Here is my mash tun
Here is my CFWC in action
Not exactly what you are looking for...but I think it is pretty cool all the same.

I am actually brewing an IPA right now, so here it is in action (Kal Clone with PLC/HMI Control)
Here is the HLT, MT and BK:

Not exactly when I cut slices but that doesn't matter, slices are made with grinder (1 mm disc), this is how I made connection with valve:
Gap between copper pipe and kettle bottom is ~1/2", and MLT dead space is 0.5 cups:

I move the BK (bottom left) to the counter and put a Koozy on it before boiling on 3500W induction plate. HLT (top) has a 3000W element with thermostat control. I have a Koozy for that too, but haven't had the time to fit it to the pot yet. Set up is not exactly the way I want it, but getting close. Still haven't worked out all the bugs in the EMLT. All three stainless pots are 15 gallons. Currently doing 7-8 gallon batches.
Thanks tomtanner,Tomtanner said:
Yea got them on the keggles and on end of the tubes. Wanna put them on the pump end too but don't needum yet. Still need at least one more burner (pain in the @$$ moving the one around
), and a measuring device.
The is no need for teflon tape since copper is soldered.
It is pretty easy, there are plenty videos on youtube on how to solder copper pipe.
