    • Keeps oil from thickening for a better lubricated engine
    • Keeps battery from losing charge when installed on car battery hold down

  • Heating area: approximately 20 sq in
  • Heat output: 300 F - 400 F

Multiple Heating Options

This magnetic heater radiates approximately 20 square inches of heat to keep fluid from thickening and freezing in the winter. It is ideal for large engines and can be used on cars, diesel trucks, and farm machinery. Simply attach the powerful magnetic base onto the engine block, oil pan, intake manifold, transmission pan, or hydraulic system to heat the fluid in that area of your vehicle or piece of machinery.


Alternatively, you can keep your vehicle's battery warm by attaching the heater to your battery hold down. This will ensure that your battery maintains its charge so that it can get the engine to turn over faster and easier. Since this heater easily attaches to most metal surfaces, it can also come in handy for thawing frozen pipes, gutters, large livestock feeders, and more.

Cheap materials and it is made only for using indoor. I'm really afraid to let that thing plug all night inside of my garage. You can smell like a burning plastic after plug-in.
This items are supposed to be made for tough conditions ,I don't have time to crawl under the heavy duty equipment in a freezing temperature and clean the grease or mud out of the oil-pan.

I’m using the heater to keep the crankcase oil in an air compressor warm for easier starting in my cold garage in winter. It’s working great!

The magnetic heater is working just as I intended. I use it to keep the crankcase of an air compressor in my garage warm so I can use it during the winter. I plug the heater in when the weather turns cold, and it keeps the compressor ready to go. Without it, the compressor would often fail to start at all.

by:
It's great for me because I was looking at purchasing magnetic or adhesive type heating pads for multiple pieces of equipment parked in unheated building and several vehicles not equipped with block heaters that typically get parked outside but with this heater I can use one heater to take care of all of them and my generator and and it works for me because I really only ever want or need to use it on one thing at a time.
I just want to prevent unneeded wear and tear on machine engine parts /starters/ batteries/ etc.

The only downside is that the instructions say "Do Not store heater in temperatures lower than 0°F because of bi-metal thermostat so I won't be storing it in the shop/building/garage but that's not a big deal.
by:
I opened the box took the unite out and plugged it in to a AC outlet and it warmed up. I will be traveling to SD this December traveling through Montana, expect cold weather so II will be prepared.
by:
This an excellent product its user friendly and does its job all winter long the only change should be to make the power cord a foot or so longer

Do you have a question about this Oil Pan Heater?
  • How to Use Kats Heaters Handi-Heat Magnetic Heater
    The Kat's Heaters Handi-Heat Magnetic Heater # KH1155 is usually installed onto the oil or transmission pan to keep the fluid warm. Nothing will need to be cut for use. It's also intended to heat small engines like that of a snowblower or chainsaw. For a larger heater, that is designed to be used on a vehicle, the # KH1190 is what you're looking for. This is also usually placed on the oil or transmission pan but can be used on the engine block. There still is nothing that needs to...

  • Availability of Block Heater that Fits 2020 Nissan Sentra 2.0
    I wish we did, but at this time we do not have a block heater for your 2020 Nissan Sentra. We do have a magnetic heater with the Kat's part # KH1190 that you could attach to your block if that's something you'd consider?

  • What Engine Block Heater Works for a 2012 Suzuki Grand Vitara with a 2.4L 4 cyl Engine?
    Hi Rem, The only option I have for a heater for a 2012 Suzuki Grand Vitara with the 2.4L engine is the Kat's Heaters Handi-Heat Magnum Magnetic Heater part # KH1190. This heater must attach to a metal surface since it's magnetic, so you'll need to stick it to the lower section of the oil pan (bottom sump portion where the oil settles) that is made of stamped steel and make sure the heater is flat against the pan. The heater puts out 20 square inches of heat to help warm fluid in the engine...

  • Recommended Engine Heater for a 2023 Ford F-350
    Hey Dale. There's not enough flat space on your F-350's engine block for the Kat's Heaters Handi-Heat Magnum Magnetic Heater item # KH1190. This heater measures 5" x 4-1/4" and it needs a flat surface at least that large to attach to. Since your oil pan is aluminum that's not going to be a suitable mounting space either. As an alternative, I recommend the Kat's Heaters Oil or Transmission Pan Heating Pad item # KH24500. This is a 500 watt heating pad that you'll be able to attach directly...

  • Do You Have Any Magnetic Heater's for a Diesel Engine?
    Hey Ken. The best magnetic heater for your F-250's diesel engine is going to be the Kat's Heaters Handi-Heat Magnum Magnetic Heater item # KH1190. It's designed to heat an area up to 20 square inches and is made for larger trucks like yours. It will reach temperatures up to 300°F - 400°F. Heat transfer through the metal and ambient temperature will keep the oil in your engine from reaching this high of a temp though. The heater itself measures 5" long x 4-1/4" wide and is powered by a...

  • Does the Kat's Heaters Handi-Heater Start Heating When Plugged in?
    Hey Gary! The Kat's Heaters Handi-Heat Magnum Magnetic Heater # KH1190 will start to heat up as soon as you plug it in. There is that max temp sensor for safety, but it's not a working thermostat that starts and shuts off within a range of temperatures. Were you planning on leaving it on your vehicle long term during the winter?

    The Kat's Heaters Custom Fit Engine Block Heater - Cartridge Style - 120V - 400 Watts # KH11813 is a confirmed fit for the 3.5L V6. You should not need to alter the element or clip in any way and doing so is not recommended. You may want to consider also getting the Kat's Heaters Plug Cover for Power Cords with 3-Prong Plugs # KH28405. This heater is designed to heat your engine block, but with that -40 degree temperature, you should also consider using an oil pan heater like the Kat's...

  • Can I Leave The Kat's Heaters Handi-Heat Magnum Magnetic Heater On Overnight in Tractor
    I confirmed with Kats Heaters that the Kat's Heaters Handi-Heat Magnum Magnetic Heater part # KH1190 is safe to be left on a flat surface like the oil pan of your tractor overnight. There is a shut off at 250 degrees. Diesel fuel starts to gel at 32 degrees.

  • Can Kat's Heater KH1190 Be Left on Vehicle When Driving
    You can leave the Kat's heater part # KH1190 installed on your vehicle's oil pan at all times. You would need to make sure you unplug it before you start the vehicle though.

  • How To Use the Kat's Heaters Handi-Heat Magnum Magnetic Heater On a Chevy Tahoe
    The Kat's Heaters Handi-Heat Magnum Magnetic Heater part # KH1190 can be used on either an engine oil pan or transmission fluid pan. If needed, you could even use one on both pans to prepare the vehicle better for colder weather. That said, if you were to only do one I recommend the engine oil pan over the transmission fluid pan as it's a bit more critical of a component.

  • Does Kat's Magnetic Engine Oil Heater Have A Thermostat
    The Kat's Heaters Handi-Heat Magnum Magnetic Engine Oil Heater, part # KH1190, does not have a thermostat included. It has a heat output between 300 and 400 degrees F and the heating area is approximately 20 square inches. This does plug into a 110 outlet and is a 300 watt heater. Many customers will install the heater and leave it on overnight, while others will plug it in for a couple of hours before starting the vehicle to warm the oil. I have attached a link to a video that shows...

  • Engine Oil Heater for a 1997 Ford F- Series Pickup Truck with a 7.3L Diesel Engine
    The Kat's Heaters Engine Oil Dipstick Heater part # KH15200 is a universal fit item that will work on a variety of different makes and models. There are only two requirements for the dipstick heater to work. The engine oil dipstick opening must be 1/4" in diameter or larger and at least 5 inches of the heating element must be submerged in the oil. The heating element on the above dipstick is 23" long.

  • Can Kat's Heater Handi Heater be Left On for Three Days

  • How Much Does it Cost to Run the Kats Heaters Handi-Heat Magnum Magnetic Heater KH1190
    The Kat's Heaters Handi-Heat Magnum Magnetic Heater part # KH1190 pulls around 300 watts which you can then use to guesstimate cost. I have attached a formula for you below but we could not accurately inform of cost as there are to many variables at play. 1) Watts ÷ 1,000 = Kilowatts (kW) 2) Kilowatts (kW) x Hours of Use = Kilowatt Hours (kWh) 3) Kilowatt Hours (kWh) x kWh rate = Cost of Usage

  • Recommended Engine Heater for Kubota Tractor
    For your Kubota Tractor, I recommend looking at a magnetic heater like the Kat's Heaters Handi-Heat Magnum # KH1190. This particular heater will magnetically attach to the tractor's oil pain, warming the fluid in your engine block for faster startup during the winter months. Because of how this installs, it is considered a universal design so it will work well for your particular application. The heater itself measures 5 inches long and 4-1/4 inches wide. It has a heat output of between...

  • Amperage Draw of the Kat's Magnetic Heater Part # KH1190

  • Where Does Magnetic Block Heater Attach to 2001 Ford F-250
    There isn't an exact location you have to install the Kat's magnetic block heaters like the part # KH1155 that you referenced but ideally you attach it to the oil pan so that it keeps the engine oil as warm as possible. This is a pretty small heater though so for your Ford F-250 hopefully you have the larger version part # KH1190 instead.

These are designed to attach directly to your oil pan the Kat's Heaters Oil/Transmission Pan Heating Pad - 4" x 5" - 120V - 250W - part # KH26250 is one you can attach permanently using the provided adhesive or you can choose to go with the Kat's Heaters Handi-Heat Magnum Magnetic Heater - 120V -...

  • Will Kat's Heaters Handi-Heat Magnum Magnetic Heater Work in Outside Cold Climate
    The Kat's Heaters Handi-Heat Magnum Magnetic Heater # KH1190 is not vehicle-specific so it will work with your Kubota BX2200. It will also work really well outside, assuming you have the ability to plug it into 120-volt AC outlet. This heater will generate heat between 300 and 400 degrees so even in the frigid winter temps of the upper northeast, the Magnum Magnetic Heater # KH1190 will provide more than enough heat for your Kubtoa.

Instead I recommend the Kat's Heaters Handi-Heat Magnum Magnetic Heater - 120V - 5" x 4-1/4" - CSA Approved # KH1190 which will magnetically connect to your tractor's oil pan, engine block, battery hold down, transmission pan, or hydraulic...
