Kats Heaters Vehicle Heaters - KH11419

  • Engine Block Heater
  • Frost Plug Style
  • 400 Watts
  • Kats Heaters
  • CSA Approved

This frost-plug heater replaces the frost plug in your engine block and submerges in the coolant to keep engine fluids from thickening. Results in easier start-ups, faster heating of your cab, and less wear and tear on your vehicle in cold weather.


Features:

  • Ensures smoother start-ups and faster heating and defrosting of your cab
    • Replaces frost plug (core plug) in engine block and submerges in coolant
  • Warms engine fluid to increase lubrication and performance
    • Keeps fluid from thickening and protects against damage in cold weather
  • Pre-heats engine to reduce condensation in the engine block
    • Emits less pollution and fewer gas emissions
  • Includes removable power cord
    • Route through your grille and plug into standard 120-volt AC outlet
  • Constructed of corrosion-resistant brass
  • Custom fit for your vehicle
  • CSA approved
  • Made in the USA


Specs:

  • Diameter: 28 mm
  • Wattage: 400 watts
  • Amperage: 3.3 amps
  • 1-Year limited warranty


Notes:

  • Do not use this heater with a 100-percent antifreeze solution.
  • Do not start your engine with the heater plugged in.

Start your engine easier and warm your cab faster in cold weather with this frost-plug-style engine block heater. Heating your engine coolant keeps it from thickening and freezing, resulting in more reliable start-ups and smoother operation altogether. It also lessens the workload and extends the life of your vehicle's battery. And because starting your engine when it's warm creates less condensation in the engine block than starting it when it's cold, your engine will get better initial fuel vaporization, which causes fewer emissions and less pollution.


This frost-plug heater replaces the core plug in your engine block. The power cord on the heater is removable so that you won't need to buy a whole new heater if the cord gets damaged. The cord can be routed through your grille for easy access to a 120-volt outlet or extension cord. If needed, a longer or shorter cord (sold separately) can be purchased to better fit your application. Make sure the heating element is fully submerged in the coolant before plugging it in.

Easy to choose the correct engine block heater for my vehicle on their website. Great follow up throughout the delivery progress. Easy to install instructions, it corresponded well with the OEM detailed instruction. Everything required to complete the installation was included in the kit.

I keep it plugged in whenever the temperature goes below - 15 C. It keeps the engine oil warm, next time starting the car is easy and don't need to warm up before driving, which save time & gas.

Hey Russell. Thanks for taking the time to share this feedback. We don't have a way to track these types of applications so I know it will be helpful to someone else along the way!

It was horrible. Lasted less than 1 week. Heating element burnt out. I got one warrantied and the second one was just as bad. etrailer did do a good job of handling warranty and replaced and refunded as needed. I will continue to shop etrailer, but never buy another product from Kat's

Made in USA! The construction quality looks good. Way less expensive than the Subaru brand heater.

Product arrived a day late. Actually, according to the only tracking that is offered by etailer reported it arrived on the date as expected only the product was not left on the porch as reported. I reported this to etrailer and phoned the local post office. The shipping number I had to get from etrailer. Post office said no such number is in the system. The package arrived the next day, with the number that was not in existence. Etailer had started the refund to my card. I had to call them back to again pay for the block heater. Seems the post office is suspect. I think a bit better transparency for the client to track the products would be an improvement.

This review is for block heater KH11461 installed in a Mahindra 5010 with the 49 hp Daedong engine, after one year. This block heater came with the tapered bushing to fit in a 1 1/4" frost plug hole next to the starter. Tap out the frost plug (screwdriver, hammer) Tap in bushing (hammer piece of wood and sleeve retainer from NAPA). Screw in the block heater. Fill with antifreeze and run the engine to ensure there is no air in the cooling system to prevent burning out the heater. I also added a battery heater and trickle charger all on 1 cord permanently mounted under the hood. This now starts well below zero easily. etrailer has a video of this product.

Kat's is the only block heater company that could come up with a perfect fit for my application. I have spent months trying to find a block heater for my rig (on line & in person at parts houses) and nobody else had accurate information - all had the wrong freeze out plug diameters. Success at last!! Thank you Kats!!

  • Can Honda CR-V Be Started with Block Heater Plugged In
    Hey Dee, with block heaters like the Kat's part # KH11419 that fit your 2013 Honda CR-V you do not want to start them with the block heater still plugged in. It's not that something will necessarily happen immediately but it's very easy to forget to unplug it at that point and drive away with it plugged in.

    The location of the frost plug depends on the engine you have in your CR-V. According to the chart that Kat's provides, if you have a 2.0L or 1.6L engine, the plug is located on the front of the engine on the passenger side.

If you let me know what size engine you have in your CR-V I will be glad to make a recommendation...

I recommend using a heater plug cover such as part # KH28405 to protect the plug on the power cord from corrosion while not in use.

  • Using A Kat's Engine Block Heater While The Engine Is Running
    Per the manufacturer the heating element # KH11419 should not be energized while starting the engine. The vibrations in conjunction with the added engine heat will cause the element to burn out or rupture. It is also advisable to wait a minimum of 1 minute after unplugging heater before starting engine. Additionally, if the heater is being used on a generator or other stand-by equipment an oil pressure switch for automatic cut-off may be required.
