    Re: heat tape snaking question asap

    I think you can but double check the watts per foot. The 6" tape should be about 12watts per foot and 3" tape should be about 4 watts per foot, so if all strips are 1 foot each then you should be good as long as the thermostat is rated for a higher wattage.

    6" one foot each...3strips x12watts =36 watts
    3" one foot each...6strips x4watt =24 watts

    24+36=60 watts total

    I would say yes it will work as long as the thermostat is rated higher than 60 watts.

    Yes..what Deb Said
