    Heat tape size?

    What size flexwatt do yall recommend for a rack that will hold 6 32qt tubs? And also when wiring each of the 6 shelves, do I have to splice all the wires into 1 plug to plug into the herpstat? If theres a thread on how to wire multiple shelves to one thermostat I'd like to be directed there. Thanks for the info!

    I went with back heat ! You wont have to splice anything . I have back heat on all my racks .
