Have one that has been running for 22 years continuously. It is the 12" long model. I have it sitting on the very bottom of the safe, i.e. the "floor". Is that correct?

According to four different photos of the product on the manufacturer's website and in their video on their YouTube channel, you have it installed correctly.

Bottom is correct. The rod works by moving air through convection. It heats the air in the bottom of the safe, hot air rises. This keeps air moving in the safe. Along with drying it out, it is best of both.

The only issue is warmer air has the ability to hold more water vapor, but if inside an air conditioned house, it really doesn’t matter.

I purchased a wireless hygrometer to keep an eye on the safe without having to open it. Just remember to calibrate it. Easy to do, there are several YouTube videos showing one how to do it.
