Flexwatt wiring question

[Blue Apple Herps]

I have a question on wiring flexwatt. Lets say I have a 2' piece that is wired and ready to be plugged in, a 4' piece that is wired and ready to be plugged in, and and three 3' pieces that are wired in parallel with one another (all pieces are 4" flexwatt) with one single plug for all three ready to be plugged in.

If I plug the 2' piece, the 4' piece and the 3' pieces into an outlet strip and run this to the thermostat will they all run at the same temp? Or would the be at different temps? Does the fact that some are at different lengths or that several are wired in parallel and others not have any effect on temp?

Thanks.

They will all run at the same temp - the 4" tape is 8watts per foot. Assuming you are using a thermostat (if not you need one) they will all be the same temp that you set too. Most better thermostats can handle up to 500watts so you have room for many many more feet.

Ok, thanks. No I'm using a Herpstat Pro. I've always just wired a rack in parallel and had a thermostat controlling just that one rack. I'm in a situation where I need to wire things differently from element to another, and have the elements be different sizes, but all at the same temp.

I just wanted to make sure that I could have different pieces at different lengths and wired differently (some in parallel, some not, etc) and still get a uniform temp across the elements.

(I hope this makes sense ).

Yes, makes sense...the flex will all be the same temp but if you are using more or less per tub then the actual tub temps could be different. (hopefully this makes sense?) (ie. If you use 3 feet for one tub and 2 feet for another tub the temps inside the tub will be different - you just want to make sure the same amount of flex is under each tub so the inside tub temps are the same)

Gotcha. Thanks for the help.
