Default Run 2 warmers with 1 pressure switch

I want to know would it be possible to run 2 warmers on 1 bottle using 1 presseure switch. Could or would the voltage cause an overload from the switch? I need a bottle warmer for my 10lb bottle and I have read that one warmer isn't enough when spraying alot, so I figured 2 with 1 switch would be easier as far as installing and less cash spent. Is anybody doing this or caution against it?

Yes of course you can! I don't know how you're running things, but the pressure switch should really only be used to activate a relay.


If you run into a problem, it will more than likely be that you're using too small of a gauge wire from the relay, or if you have a dinky relay, then it'll blow it's internal fuse (if equipped with one) because of the two heaters pulling so many amps.

I don't think you'll have enough bottle to wrap two heaters. You'll be better off running a bottle blanket and insulation over one heater.

I don't know what type of heater you are using but I would think you could use the same pressure switch and run a seprate relay for each heater.
