Looks like a door bell transformer. A lot of people think the furnace is a good place to steal power from.

Sheet metal screws are normally stockpiled on any commercial rooftop. They can be found in all shapes and sizes, and with various stages of rust.

There's a bolt in one of the mounting holes. So, it looks like he at least "thought" about mounting it. Haha.

Never did care for the transformers that were shipped with humidifiers. Would much rather expect a foot mount one these days.

Why not just put that on the line in box with the switch ?

Because the wires on the primary side are not long enough to reach where it connects to the control board and that would be extra work.

Found one hanging on the primary wires in an electric furnace last week. Shoddy workmanship.
One way to outthink people is to make them think you think. They'll think you're not really thinking what you're trying to get them to think you think...........

See... You don't have to secure a cap.

You guys got it all wrong. That's either a rescue transformer like a dingy towed behind a boat, so in case the blue smoke comes out of the main transformer, it can take over in an emergency, or it's to power an alarm bell to signal when the furnace quits.
