Best place to buy heat tape, & do you have to have a thermosdat for each tub in a rack?

stevodod Apr 10, 2005 09:56 PM

Hey,

Just a silly question, do you have to have a seperate thermosdat for each rack in a homemade rack-mounted system?

Also, I usually get heat tape from Big Apple, is there anywhere else to get it cheaper?

And where do you affix your heat tape, to the bottom of the rack or to the rubbermaid?

Thanks,

Stevo

If you put the heat tape on each rubbermaid, how would you pull out the boxes???

Heat tape below the boxes, on (or in) the shelf.

One thermostat per as many spaces as you want provided you stay well below the watt rating of the thermostat.
