Ah-ha!

That wasn't there before, was it? I must've missed it, I guess. Thanks!

Are they all that easy to get to the backsides of?

If you can get easy access to the pipe, you could probably just solder in a piece w/ the same OD as the ID of the pipe that's already there.

I'm not sure I'm seeing correctly, but are they just large panels with an inlet, an outlet, and what appears to be a bag covering a few pipes that run between the in and out?

Nice find ben!

I got my Solar gear much the same way.

Min was just sitting there "wasting energy" had to take it out. Oh well as long as its out of service it's fair game.
