    Making an UTH re-usable

    I am setting up a new tub and am wondering if I can avoid sticking the UTH to the tub because then I can't ever take it off. I'm thinking just cover the sticky side of the UTH with foil tape. Then I can tape the UTH to the tub around the edges. It is a large UTH and I'm sort of worried over time and with the thermostat probe it might start sagging in the middle. Anyone have experience with this?

    That's exactly how it's recommended to do this - sticky side of UTH to sticky side of foil tape. Personally, I'd use electrical tape or similar to ensure the probe remains in contact with the UTH just in case there would be any sagging.

    You could also use the Fluker's brand UTH and just attach it with foil - it is non-adhesive, perfect for re-use as needed
