Before you order

  • Check your rack is a VE-2. For a VE-6, choose the VE-6 tape instead.

  • Compare your old strip with the 38 in length.

Wiring is chosen separately from the tape. If you are not sure which tape and wiring you need, contact us with your rack model and a description of your heating setup and we will help.

Fitting it safely

  1. Unplug the rack before you inspect or replace any heating part.

  2. Check the old tape, cord, and connections for discolouration, rippling, cracks, worn insulation, or signs of overheating.

  3. Lay the new tape flat in its place. Never fold, overlap, kink, or pinch it.

  4. Secure and insulate every connection, and keep them away from moisture and rubbing. If you are not used to electrical work, have a qualified person do it.

  5. Connect a proportional thermostat and check its probe is secure.

  6. Let the temperature settle, then check each tub with a separate thermometer before animals go back in.

Know the warning signs
Dark spots, ripples, a changed texture, or an electrical or plastic smell mean unplug it at once. Our heat tape safety guide explains what to look for.

Questions

Does it come with wiring?

Wiring is a separate choice from the tape. Check what each wiring option includes, or ask us, before you order.

Will it fit another rack?

It is listed for one rack model, so confirm with us before using it in another.

Do I need a thermostat?

Yes. Never run heat tape without a proportional thermostat.
