HERMS coil placement in a keggle. Need help!

[CarbonTom]

I finally got my herms coil and was getting ready to install but then realized my keggle might limit my placement. It's a 1/2"x50' coil. Since I have a heating element in there I am limited to how low I can put it. Which either pushes me up almost to the top of the keg or down on the bump in one spot.

I marked the tentative spot with magnetic balls: https://imgur.com/zYtLnQB
Will I be able to get a full seal of I mount on the bump? I'm using weldless fittings.

How do all of you other eHERMS guys with keggles have your coils mounted?
How close can you be to the element without any problems?

I put mine as close to the bottom as I could get it, but it's still just above the element. It's all in the bottom 8 inches of the pot, but it's a 25gal HLT so...I hope that helps

This is how I did mine. Scroll down towards the bottom and you will see the herms coil being installed. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=541449

I used the same in mine and have never had a problem...
