Can I Wire My Filaments Like This?
They're in parallel, and it sure keeps the runs short. Any reason not do it this way?

Re: Can I Wire My Filaments Like This?
I might be understanding what you're proposing, but can you make a better diagram that shows where the pairs of wires are running? One issue I can see is too many wires to connect to a single socket lug...
Re: Can I Wire My Filaments Like This?
Make sure that you can fit the required number of wires of the correct gauge into each socket solder tab using that approach.
Other than that (and keeping track of the phasing), I don't think that there are any issues going that route.

Forgot, it's for my 5C8, which in a moment of inattention I posted here. Can it be moved to the technical discussion, Tom?
It's all octal with 20awg I should be good on fitting the wires, it just looked very odd compared to the typical daisy chain, but it makes the leads so short and that's got to be good. It'll be PTP which explains the branching layout.
Martin I have no ink in my printer so I can't just draw it on paper and scan (no ink no scanner, f$ck HP!) Above was the best I could figure out in Word. So each arrow is a heater braid, comes in from the PT and then just branches hitting each tube in parallel with the shortest possible run but looked unusual enough that I thought I'd check here first. Once I get the heaters done then the fun can begin.
