Thats the way I bought mine, make sure to use a relay! These things pull some serious amperage! BTW the + and - don't matter you can use either wire. I use spade clips on mine so I can unplug it when removing the bottle for fill ups. Good luck!

On the side of the relay it should say 40A or 30A. I use a 40 Amp on mine. Works great.

Any automotive 12 volt 30a (or higher) relay will work.
I have the NOS heater and threw out the thermostat.
The nos Thermostat works fine,untill you need to get the bottle pressure up in the summer when the sun is setting and the air temps are still in the mid 80's.
