    Bottom side could be for an electrical element. The other two (top side and top front) could be for a Herms coil.

    No idea what the lid triclover fitting would be for.

    Thats a pretty sweet score no matter what.

    Maybe for a HERMS coil? That is a ton of triclover

    Direct fired HLT??:confused: Side two for HERMs coil, top for water return/circulation. The one is the lid could be water in from a hose (?) or just because if 4 triclover fitting are good, 5 must be better!:D

    Lid could very well be for CIP.
