If you decide to go the j-box route, i would use a 12/3, as you have the two separate conductors and a ground.</p> <p>Please let me know if you have any other questions!</p> <p>Seth</p> Mon, 10 Mar 2008 14:25:31 -0000 forum.warmlyyours.com:2:22:58 slavigne http://forum.warmlyyours.com/forums/2/topics/22 <p>Seth, thanks for the response, that does indeed anwer my question! I would expect the temp of the floors in the two rooms to be reasonable close (within +/- a degree or 2) as they are both on the same crawlspace.</p> <p>An additional question, in the installation instructions I downloaded off the site, it says the lead wires can be extended, which I will obviously need to do. Do I need a special kind of wire to do that, or can I just wire nut the lead wires to some 12/2 Romex in a junction box to extended it over to the Kitchen?</p> <p>-Kevin</p> Wed, 05 Mar 2008 18:14:54 -0000 forum.warmlyyours.com:2:22:56 kevinrmac http://forum.warmlyyours.com/forums/2/topics/22 <p>Kevin,</p> <p>The only real limitation as to what you can run off of one thermostat is the amp draw of the heating mats. Our thermostats have a 15 amp capacity. Going off of the figures you provided me we are looking at 82 square feet, which would be pulling around 10-10.5 amps. There should be no problem for you to run both areas off of one thermostat.</p> <p>Placing your sensor wire in the kitchen should not be a problem for you, as long as the kitchen temperature is representative of the temperature in both areas. As one thermostat will be feeding both mats, they will heat up evenly.</p> <p>I hope this answers your questions, if anything else comes up, please don&#8217;t hesitate to contact me again.</p> <p>-Seth</p> Wed, 05 Mar 2008 15:20:25 -0000 forum.warmlyyours.com:2:22:53 slavigne http://forum.warmlyyours.com/forums/2/topics/22 <p>I have two rooms that are adjacent, (Laundry Room and Kitchen) and am wondering if I can use one Smartstat for both?</p> <p>I&#8217;m looking at 21 sqft of 120v heating mat for the Laundry room, and 46 sqft of 120v mat for the Kitchen. While the rooms are adjacent, there is about 12-15 feet between where the two mat would be placed. The easiest place for me to put the thermostat is at the far end of the kitchen run, although I&#8217;m sure the best place technically would be in the middle between the two.</p> Wed, 05 Mar 2008 01:02:23 -0000 forum.warmlyyours.com:2:22:49 kevinrmac http://forum.warmlyyours.com/forums/2/topics/22
