    Flexwatt and Helix Questions....
    I just built a new snake rack yesterday and I'm bouncing some questions around in my head... So i figured i would ask them.

    My new rack will hold 4 41 qt. tubs right now with room to expand it up to possibly 9 tubs. I plan on running 1 single run of 11" flexwatt under a tub then down then under then down and so on.

    Now to my questions... With my rack being expandable, can you wire two pieces of flexwatt together if i expand my rack one day and just have one plug going to the helix?

    Also, from what i can tell, the Helix comes with three outlets for plugs coming from the flexwatt. Can this be expanded to more plugs? I mean how do people with 5 or 6 individual pieces of flexwatt plug all of those into their thermostat that can only hold three plugs.

    I have seen long power strips on the rack with each piece of flexwatt pugged into that. Then the power strip plugs into the Helix.
    I see no need to modify the cord. Just watch the wattage.

    Have you ever heard of wiring two pieces of flexwatt together???? Seems like it would work.

    If you wire them in parallel you shouldn't have a problem.
