heat tape question

[Salem]

I have been scanning the forms but can't find the answer I am looking for.

I am wanting to get heat tape for the rack I am building but would like to do 1 long piece weaved from shelf to shelf with only 1 plug in. I only have 4 tubs so shouldn't be too long of a piece, my question is, can I plug 1 long piece of heat tape into my thermostat?

this is my t stat

and planning on having RPI connect my plug in to the heat tape before they ship it.

will that work??

Should be fine.

omg nevermind, totally just figured it out myself............6 watts per foot, would mean I could have at least 100 feet of tape and still be ok..........obviously won't have that much ,lol!!
I feel stupid...........sorry guys!
