I want to connect the 3 strips but the strip is too thick b/c of the waterproof plastic on top. What do I do?

Return the product and find strips in 3 foot sections and a "Y" or multi connector to the lights

Plastic can be peeled back, and cut! DO NOT cut against the strip, will break condition

If you can go on utube it shows how to peal the coating to hook them together.you might go on amazon and you can buy the parts to hook them together l hope this helps u

I cannot answer definitely, but I also wanted this and could not find any way to do it. Although you can add up to six strips per adapter, I could find no one that sold only the strips. I had to order 3 sets and do some maneuvering to get mine in order. Hope you can do the same.

The connector on the bottom is extended, But I believe the box may be too thick.

Yes you can. Remember, you need a repeater every 5 meters. I highly recommend you to seal and protect well where you join the wire to the strip piece. I personally add hot glue and string plastic to secure it.

The strips must be connected to use the same power source. I suppose if you had a long enough extender, the one that comes with it is maybe 4", it might work.

Connectors are a hit our miss, so soldering is the way to go. Cut the strips the size you want then scratch a small area with a razor knife down to the copper base then put a dab of flux on that area and add a dab of solder with a hot soldering iron. This is called tinning. Do the same to the wire that you are using then take the iron without adding more solder and touch both together.

Attach it to a flat metal snake with zip ties and some tape over the ties to prevent snags. Then feed them into the pipe. I purchased the flat snake through amazon as well. Hope this helps. Mine had no connector in the middle? Just an insulator which is also water proof.

If anything would help ,I would use the regular black Gorilla tape which has a cloth backing. Clean the back and apply 4" strips across the split and then 2 strips over the length .Trim the ends if needed. Then press down firmly ( step on it ) .I hope that this helps, Dave , Good Luck.

I would say no. Strip fits into a channel. I think a small amount of clear silicon would work the best

I have three lines (telephone cable) going to three different devices I want monitored (sump pump well, water heater and water softener). I just pig-tail the three lines off the one thats included with the device. One line goes into my sump well, and the other two make a circle around the base of the heater and softener. I stripped the pair of wire so its all copper wire exposed. I hot glued the wires down separated about 1/4" apart. So a stream of water will make a "connection" between the two lines and call me.

You must first thoroughly soak the strips in cold water. You then wrap them around the pan and fasten them with the little metal pins that come with them (just stick the metal pins through both layers of the strips). It is completely ok for the strips to overlap.

Hey, just taking a shot at answering your question. Look at the pic, one end connects to the top of the membrane and the other to the bottom of the 4th. If that dosnt help they may have sent you the wrong connector.

This will not work; too spongy. Try paint with sand in it. Or check for self-adhesive strips with "sandpaper" on one side.

I haven't tried doing that, but it should work. The Velcro connection is the whole length of the strips.

I have found soldering them is the best way. I use them in marine apps with fail proof connections so far.........hope this helps:)

The connectors come off too easily. Maybe google the company to see if they sell more parts. We bought two and they connect.

What I have done in that case, and I've done it a lot, is cut at the "scissors" mark, where there is a pair of connections. Solder a pair of wires from the end of one segment to the next. Keep in mind that polarity matters, + to +, - to -. There are products available, as mentioned in the other answer, but I have had problems with getting good continuity with the water proof style strips, they do work well with the non water proof version. Also they are too short to go from shelf to shelf, only 6" or so.
