Is there a spot to plug in a cable or extension cord to heat the pipe?

Here, turn it around both ways so we can see both sides...

If it's powered by 120, I would also think to prevent freezing. If it's low voltage it might be some type of aquastat. Where does the pipe go?

Hey Bob,

How ChiTown? You guys have been very busy lately.

Yeah, maybe it is a magnet, I'm just trying to figure a magnet on a copper pipe. It also looks like one of thoses thingys they stick on your finger at the hospital.

The picture is dark, so it's hard to say.

Hi Steve
Did you get my personal e-mail a few weeks back?

I seem to recall something about a reason for putting magnets on metal pipe,but the reason escapes me.
