heat tape question

Where is a good place to get 11 or 12" heat tape that comes already to go with clamps and wire? I would need 20ft. I want to run it as one whole strand throughout my rack

+1. You can even have them set up the tape for you prior to shipping. Making the set up as easy as stick, plug in and go.

I would go withTHG heat tape over ebay heat tape. With something as important (and potentially dangerous if its faulty) as heat you should go with a trusted company that is great quality.

Would it be better to run one large strip of 12" heat tape or hook it up individually? I'm going to make the rack out of melamine and the tubs will be 74 qt tubs so 44" x 19". How much heat tape would I need?

I def prefer to run individual strips as needed, as opposed to one long S-run of heat tape.

X2 I only run a solid strip on smaller tub racks, Neo racks and hold back racks(6qt and 16qt tubs).

That's a really big tub, what are you keeping in them?
My 41q tubs have a 9"x12" on each shelf.
