    THG vs flexwatt?

    So at the moment I'm using thg and it seems okay so far expect for one of my connections sometimes it's even sometimes its close to 10° in difference even with a thermostat so Im probably gonna scrap that connection anyone had any problems with thg? Im getting a lot of mixed reviews on both ends flex watt and THG what are your opinions?

    You said one of your connections of heat tape. How many connections do you have and how many connections per probe on the thermostat? How are they wired?

    It's a 2 level rack so each level has a connection both are 3.5ft and 6inch THG both directly plugged into the thermostat
    (The probe is directly on the heattape itself)

    K. Just making sure each length of tape was the same length if connected that way. Would make a huge difference if not.

    Yeah I tried it on a dimmer aswel seeing if it was still different and it was so I may have to re solder it or just toss it
