UTH and foil tape

[PitOnTheProwl]

Yes, I know...http://www.reptilebasics.com/heat-tape
What they are saying is that if you use heat tape on metal or with metal tape, that thin cover of plastic that it's encased in is NOT enough for safety.
As I said, foil tape (if used to secure 'heat tape') should not be over any of the inner electrical connections. It can short...

Sorry, I missed that from OP what kind of UTH was meant. And I bet there's ppl using foil tape to secure "heat-tapes".

Actually it is. The electrical part they are talking about are the main power bars that are exposed at the cut ends. After the ends are properly insulated they are not a risk of shock or short.
