Last year i ran 2 10lb bottles with a 6an "Y" fitting right by the valves but only used 1 bottle wrap style heater used with a pressure switch and relay etc.
It worked good but what i discovered is that even though i ran with both bottles completely open it would only empty the one that had the heater on it. so this year i've got a 2nd wrap style heater but i want to use it with the same pressure switch so they come on at the same time etc.

My question is, can i use the same pressure switch and will i have to add a 2nd relay? I'm not sure if the relay will handle that much draw from both heaters?

Thanks!

Village idiot's opinion:
Can't you run a higher amp relay then splice the power/ground to the heater blankets? A pressure switch shouldn't have any problems connecting. Its just a switch.

I run two heaters off one pressure switch, I used two relays and have no problems. I think with just 1 relay you will probably be at the max amp load of it.

Use 2 relays. My only concern would be is where your pressure switch is mounted...you'll want to make sure its in a location where both or either bottle(s) cannot be over-pressurized.

Correct with just one you'll be over the amp load of the relay. Using 2 of them will be in your best interest Ksths2.

Couldn't agree more here.

yep that is what i was hoping to do (2 relays)

My pressure switch is mounted immediately after the "Y" fitting in the main feed line, basically 1' max away from both valves. (i don't see any way to get it closer since i have to run dual blow down tubes as well)

Thanks a bunch guys!
