Non-Routered Heat Tape in PVC Rack

Hey Everyone,

Im having the hardest time finding pre-fabbed rack that fits all of my needs. I have lower ambient temps in my apartment, usually hovering in upper 60s to low 70s and believe that I need a larger size heat tape to accommodate this when using a rack with ~41 qt tubs. Although Beeger boxes can accommodate this, they don't router out an area for the heat tape with larger sizes. They do use the new THG heat tape, which I believe has proven to be more rugged. I never routered out an area for the heat tape when I built melamine racks in the past, but wanted to know if any of you all had experience with this in newer PVC racks.

Thanks!
