Flex sealed on bottom. If possible do this outside this stuff has a nice odor to it. My wife will be ****** when she gets home. Also where I had to cut the bottom of cabinet to fit the Trigger 34 in place.

You caulk the corners for a tight seal?

All corners caulked prior to flex seal.

Lighting up the stand.

Looking good it’s coming along

If I do this with my dorso overflow will it be ok to put a gate valve on return pipe?

 

[galantra]

I don’t see why not, I you trying to reduce flow for the return?

 

[enemec1]

Can I use this between my heater and Apex controller?

 

[galantra]

Doesn’t the apex has its own temp prob? I think that’s adding a extra controller

Yes it does but was thinking if one failed I would have a back up in line to prevent any issues.

You have so much space down there nice!

Let’s hear your ideas on how you think on planning it out?

 

[enemec1]

Access door for wires. All components will mount to grey area. Still need to configure and mount.

 

[dantimdad]

Make sure you heatshrink the temp probe with clear silicone heatshrink tubing.

If you don't it won't last and won't calibrate after a bit.

Looking excellent so far!

So power switch will be only item on the left? I am liking how it looks so far

Heat shrink? This method really keeps it functioning longer?

 

[dantimdad]

Yes, but it has to be silicone heat shrink. I buy mine from ranco website. It's fairly inexpensive.
