Can you use these on the sides or do they have to be on the bottom?

if you are trying to avoid draining your water bed to install this heater i would not recommend it a portion of it may stick above the mattress and over heat and possible result in failure and or fire it needs to be completely covered to transfer the heat it produces. (just my opinion)

I am not sure if I understand the question correctly, as the bottom can mean many different things to many different people. However, I have never mounted any thermostats, for a waterbed heater underneath the bed. And I have done professional set ups, with deliveries for waterbeds for many years. And I have put thermostats in many places on a waterbed, but never underneath the frame or the deck. This is typically because the deck is not traditionally thick enough to hold the mounting screws, for the thermostats but the side boards generally are. I have this particular model of heater with the thermostat installed on the out side of the head of the bed, so I can reach it during the night to adjust it with greater ease and it works fine for me with no problems.

Mine is mounted on the bottom outside of the bedframe. It works perfectly there as long as there is a place to feed the wires through so that it comes out to the outside where ever you want to install it.

Mine did, on the bottom. There should not be one on the other end as far as I am concerned, allows you to put it where you want.

I've seen them put on both sides, and mine are on the bottom left, but they rotate so they can adjust to different angles.

The elements are just on the bottom. However, the sides will get hot when it's on so you will want to use the handles if you need to move it.

Not really. Not saying you couldn't but, there is a bevel on the top sides and not on the bottom.

No, however, i took mine out of the container and placed them in a small container on their sides, so far no issues!

There are rubber feet on one side, I think it would be pretty hard to remove them but yes, you could use both sides otherwise.

They aren't designed to be stacked, but you could. If you did they wouldn't be secured together. No rubber or feet on the bottom.

You can use either side to be top or bottom. One side has more of texture for when they are needing traction to crawl, the other is slick/soft with no ridges.

I used them on their sides for a day and liked it. I stood them up because of desk space. Other than that, I see no reason not to use them I their sides. The instructions suggest that you can use them on their sides. Like any electronics, I would give them some air space around them so they don't get too hot.

Yes, each strip can be used either on the top or bottom. One side is notched, and the instructions show how to position it for top or bottom.

you can mount them on the side if you have about a 3" flat space since there are two mounting points.

You can turn them any way you want. However, you won't be able to hang them very easily. By this I mean they work best when the pants are still damp of even still wet.

You can use them on either. But if you're using extremely high heat, it's recommended that you let them cool down before you wash them. Otherwise, the bottoms can warp when they hit the dishwater.

You can always put anything sode by side, but if you're asking if they attach like one unit, then if say no. The feet on a good surface won't move so they could be used together, I suppose.

I wouldn't recommend that. Maybe leave the top one off but not the bottom one. It would be unstable I think.

You can use them either way. (Flat or on end) With the exception of the front pouch. Those have to be in on end to fit. Hope that helps. PS... Love mine!
