It's not water-tite by any means. Looks like you'll have to seal the unused knockouts. Be careful with the SSR heatsink. I have no experience with how warm they get. 'da Kid

I don't have any ssr's just the pid and a 24v transformer to control 2 furnace valves with standing pilot lights. At least I don't think I need an ssr or a heatsink.
