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 there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a quick look at this Kat's Heaters Custom Engine Block Heater. This is gonna replace the frost plug or core plug in your engine block, and it will submerge in the coolant. It's gonna help keep your engine fluid warm, especially in those cold temperatures. It's gonna keep the fluid from thickening and protect against damage. It will also help to ensure smoother startups, faster heating and defrosting of your cab.
And it's gonna reduce the condensation in your engine block, so it will emit less pollution and fewer gas emissions. Now, this is advertised as being a custom fit, but if you look at the list of vehicles that this fits, it is pretty extensive. So I'm just gonna generalize and say that it does fit a multitude of six and eight cylinder engines for many manufacturers, vehicle manufacturers. We do have a vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com. So if you type in your year, make, and model, we'll let you know specifically which vehicles this will work with.
This does include this removable power cord and that you can route through your grill and then plug into your standard 120 volt AC outlet or extension cord. A couple of notes with this, you do not want to use this heater with 100% antifreeze solution. You do wanna make sure that the heating element is fully submerged in your coolant before you plug it in, and you do not want to start your engine with the heater plugged in. So few little notes there to make sure that you're using this appropriately. This is constructed of a corrosion resistant brass here in the USA.
It's got a diameter of 41 millimeters, it's gonna use 600 watts, about five amps and it is CSA approved, so you can trust it is going to be good quality for you, and do a good job of warming up those fluids. So that completes our look for today. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching..
Thank you!
