UTH attachment

[knott00]

I'm sorry I can't help you out with your question. I just bought my UTH and was at Lowe's looking for Foil Tape today and he suggested Velcro strips. I couldn't tell if he knew what he was talking about or not so I by passed that idea.

I did want to make sure that I bought the right tape though. The package says "Aluminum Foil Tape". Is that the right stuff???

Also, if it is correct, then do I simply peel off the paper on the UTH and stick the tape on it (covering the sticky side)? Then attach it to the bottom of my tank? Is it supposed to go on the warm side?

If you're using the foil tape DO NOT peel off the paper on your UTH. Aluminum foil is not a good conductor of heat.(Have you ever put aluminum foil in your oven to cover the racks and notice that after you're done baking your brownies the aluminum foil is still cool enough to pick up with your fingers?)
If you put the aluminum tape between the tank and the UTH you'll find yourself having heating problems. Just keep the paper on, slap the UTH on the bottom of the tank and tape it in place.
