This frost-plug heater with a plate installs 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.

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 and surrounding plate is designed to custom fit your vehicle, and installs in the 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 240-volt outlet or extension cord. If needed, a longer or shorter cord (sold separately) can be purchased for your application. Make sure the heating element is fully submerged in the coolant before plugging it in.

Great product. Installed in my Vermeer chipper with an older model Perkins diesel. Works perfectly. Engine starts with ease in NH winters. Way less expensive than local auto parts stores.

I have used this type of Freeze Plug Heater on different pieces of equipment. With the cold weather is Wisconsin the engine is kept luke warm when this heater is pluged in.

This product was offered at a fair price. Ounce we get the AC unit out of the way it should b a simple to install.



by:

A little slow delivery, good prices, very good products so far. Electrical portion of my order needs more time for durability.



by:

Great price and fast delivery on the Kats block heater I purchased.
Thanks, etrailer folks !



by:

Item is here already and is exactly what we needed for an odd application. We accidentally found the exact unit we needed, delighted to see the vehicle listing in the shipped materials.



by:

Didn’t use it due to lack of instructions. Contacted e-trailer and they quickly put me in contact with the manufacturer.
The answer that the manufacturer had was that the heater may or may not work. The only way to find out would be to start removing freeze plugs and checking.
Kat’s customer service made no offer of instructions or anything else.



by:

Great product was delivered quickly and on time. When I contacted customer care about verifying my address everyone was polite and professional and very helpful.



by:

I bought this as a supposed upgrade for the stock 750w heater in my 12v Cummins. This heater failed almost immediately, I think I used it twice before realizing it wasn't working anymore. etrailer was helpful and offered to exchange it under warranty, but I did some research and found a lot of negative reviews of this style of Kat's heaters.

I decided I would be better off washing my hands of this heater altogether, and ultimately ended up installing two 750w Cummins heaters in my engine to satisfy my desire to upgrade.
