Notes:
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.

Hi, everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a real quick look at this Kats heaters frost plug-style custom-engine block heater. Now, this does have quite a few fitments, so I have those listed there for you on your screen. As you can see, this is going to fit various years of your Ford Bronco, Lincoln Continental Ford Edge, F-150, Fusion, Lincoln MKX, and Nautilus. Now, on custom-fit parts such as this engine block heater, I do recommend taking advantage of our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com. Input the year, make, and model of your vehicle, and our fit guide will confirm if this will work for you or if we have something comparable that will work for you.
So this frost plug heater is going to actually replace the frost plug in your engine block and it's going to submerge in the coolant to keep engine fluids from thickening. That's going to help ensure smoother startups and faster heating and the frosting of your cab. So it's gonna preheat the engine to reduce condensation in the engine block. It's going to therefore emit less pollution and fewer gas emissions. It does include this removable power cord, and that's nice because if for whatever reason this cord gets damaged, all you have to do is replace the cord and not the entire heater itself.
You're just gonna route this through your grill and plug it into a standard 120 volt AC outlet or extension cable. This is constructed of durable copper. Again, custom-fit for your vehicle, CSA approved. The thread size is 3/4 of an inch NPT. The heating element length when it goes inside of here, it's gonna be about an inch and a half, 400 watts, 3.3 amps.
If you have any other further questions, don't hesitate to give us a ring. We do wanna make sure that you're getting exactly what you want and need. But I think that's gonna wrap up our look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy.
Thank you for joining me.
Ratings & Reviews
Heater is good but it didn't fit in the frost plug hole that had the existing heater in. This replacement had a longer element and it touched the inside of block no matter what angle i turned it and would not seal properly. I think if it was in one of the other frost plugs maybe it would work? I have ordered many other block heaters from here with no issues. Like I said prob fits in different frost plug location so beware have a plan b ready. Hard to give bad review at these prices
good seller ....product as described.
Fit perfectly, no issue since install over a year ago
Great item, works really well and saved me $300 by not going to the dealer, Thank you!
I bought this because it is advertised as a fit for the 2015 Nissan Rogue. When I took it to my Nissan dealership service center, and they attempted to install it, they said it is not the correct size for all 2015 Nissan Rogues because at some point there had an engine block revision that changed the size of the engine block service ports. Thus, the product information on etrailer.com is incorrect, or at the least, misleading. Installation of this item is not an easy task, so to expect the average car owner to disassemble down to the engine block to measure the service port to ensure a correct fit prior to purchase seems extremely unreasonable. When I called to do a return, I was told that because it fits some 2015 Rogues, I could return it, but I would have to pay the return shipping. I got the impression from the person on the phone that she was implying that it is somehow Nissan’s fault, since they revised the engine block. This is also after I had to pay labor for Nissan to attempt to install it without success. When all said and done, I’ll have lost money on this transaction, even if I didn’t have to pay the return shipping. It would just be a slightly smaller hit to the wallet if I didn’t . Poor customer service, etrailer.com. First and last time customer. Buyer beware!
Great service and product.
excellent communication and quality purchase item.
Thanks
I just received this block heater today and have not installed it yet but it looks real simple. etrailer.com was a great price and fast shipping
I needed a frost plug core heater for my tractor. The one I bought did not have my tractor as an application. Just autos and trucks. The measurements were exactly what I needed as well as the wattage. I called a rep to confirm that the measurements were accurate and took a chance and bought it. Exact fit, easy install and happy customer! Thanks Phillip for your help. I highly recommend e-trailer for parts, supplies and great customer service.
excellent for farm tractors; use on perkins diesels ,and simpson diesels; just installed and is working fine! a good one should last 20 years; the one I replaced (for a tractor from a tractor supply house lasted less than 2 YEARS, the one before had gone the 20 years) your block heater has a heavy duty cord and the threaded cuff lock down nut on the sender was an all time first for me, thanks. To use this kit 11409 your must already have the block bushing or the bushing for a block heater for this kit will be # 11461b and about $7.00. Noticed your were in SPRINGFIELD TN; I farm in Tn and Ky. good for you. thanks again. TERRY FITZPATRICK, Austin, Ky
Great product but took to long to get had to go purchase another one as temps were -35 c so no choice n
Fast delivery, easy check out
Right part number, wrong or defective threads. Seller refused a refund. I was out of the return policy window, but the product is unused and in original packaging. Defective and unusable. I would expect an exception to be made as this is a major job that has caused my car to be in the shop for weeks longer than it should have been. DO NOT RELY ON THEIR PARTS!!! extremely dissatisfied, I will never be ordering from this company again. Ordered another one from a different company, same part number and it thread right in, after my coolant was drained and water pump removed, sitting in the mechanics shops for WEEKS. cost me lots of time without a vehicle.
I am very satisfied. I had looked for awhile for this size and let me tell you, This company communicates and keeps you informed of your purchas and shipping. I installed this in a 1986 Massey Ferguson 3cyl diesel. No one else carries this size that I could find. I will buy from again.
Everything came fast. Customer service is amazing. Everything fits and works great. These guys are amazing. Will use them again. Ty Ty Ty
Just what I ordered and great communica tion!
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.
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.
Fit exatlly and the cord was long enouf , and arived on time . I am very happy with every thing and etrailer is very easy to work with . I would recumend their services and products . And Adam E is very good at his job he is truly an assett to your company .
Thank You Dwight
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!!
Made in USA! The construction quality looks good. Way less expensive than the Subaru brand heater.
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
the 1 and 5/8 size block heater I ordered fit perfectly , even though this engine was not listed as a fit
its an Kent 1.6 L ford industrial skidsteer engine common to bobcat,clark,Ghel,Maverick in the late 70's
my particular skidseer is a bobcat 632 1977 mfg date --works as it should,rjm
Product was not same as factory issue. Was not a direct replacement that I could see. $75 for product, $85 duties exchange taxes, an shipping. I dont really blame etrailer as I went to get proper heater a different supplier told me same thing etrailer had sent. Anyone wanna buy a heater lol
