Question:

I would like to install the thermaheat pads on fresh, gray and black water tanks. I will also add two elbows and a longer stretch. That’s 6 pieces. Can these be connected in parallel and connected to the empty Tank heater switch on main switch panel?

Helpful Expert Reply:

The Thermaheat heating pads like the part # 277-000163 can be wired in parallel like you are wanting.

This means that you will daisy-chain all of the positive (Red) wires together and connect them to the battery on your RV, and you will daisy-chain all of the negative (White) wires together and ground them. You can add wire length as needed # 12-1-1.
