I can try to get some pics up but you might be able to find better pics from the people making the racks and cages.

Pretty much all the cages are set as follows.

PVC cage
Flexwatt taped to the bottom.

So your product is sandwiched in-between the PVC caging. Would it be better to have an air gap between the caging?


I guess the questions about the probes would be best for the T-stat company.

But how about the connections . Does your company provide the clips or are they an aftermarket item? What's best to seal those connections, electrical tape, liquid tape?
I read a lot of people say that soldering is way better than the clips. Is that true?
How about the other end, where the cut is. What's the best way to seal those ends?
