Looks good. That is exactly what I had in mind.

Nice. Thanks for the great suggestion! There is not much clearance to cut the hole. We thought about installing it closer to the front (where there is much more clearance) but we store stuff in there and didn't want it to get blocked. We used an electrician's (sheath) knife and tapped it with a hammer to cut the hole. We had to use REALLY short screws so we put a bead of clear caulk around the edge to help secure it.

Anyway, I couldn't find a good angle to get a picture but here's a shot at it. We filled the grooves with "Great Stuff" so road gunk can't get up on top of the heater where the adhesive isn't attached.

(I know that I've dug up an old post....but I haven't seen that anyone else on the forum has shared that they've installed a tank heater).

Hi Malinda,
Can you share if the UltraHeat 12v/ 120volt tank heater ended up working out for you? Can you share if you've used both the AC as well as DC?

I haven't seen that anyone else on the forum has shared that they've installed one,

I'm considering adding a heater to my grey tank, as well, and will probably go ahead and add gate valve heaters at the same time.


Thanks,
Rich
