Re: When wiring flex watt
the length of the wire has little to no effect. to say you would have identical temps is not something i'm willing to confimr. but they should be really close. and youd be fine to wire it like that

Re: When wiring flex watt
i think he means the length of the flexwatt is off by four inches, not the wire! Personally i would say, two separate tstats

Re: When wiring flex watt
What if you had 2 sections (30" long) of 4" wide heat tape and one section (30" long) of 3" wide heat tape and 4 sections (1 foot long) of 11" wide of heat tape. Will all of them have the same tempature????

It's suggested to not use different widths of flexwatt on the same thermostat since they use different wattage.

Well the 4" is 8 watts and the 3" is 10 watts. so NOPE you wouldnt get a consistant temp. I think the three would stay hotter.
Stick with the same size. length should effect anything though width will
