Notes:
Start your engine easier and warm your cab faster in cold weather with this immersion heater. Heating your engine fluid 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 immersion heater installs by screwing into your oil pan or 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 oil or coolant before plugging it in.

Today, we're going to take a look at the Kat's Heaters 120-Volt, 300-Watt Oil and Coolant Threaded Immersion Heater. Now, this part will ensure smoother startups and faster heating and defrosting of your cab. It'll install into the oil pan or the engine block and it submerges in the oil or the coolant. This'll warm your engine fluids to increase lubrication and performance and it keeps the fluids from thickening and protects against damage in cold weather. This will preheat the engine to reduce condensation in the engine block, so it will emit less pollution and fewer gas emissions.Now, it does include this removable power cord. It's a six-foot long cord and you can route this cord through your grill and plug it into a standard 120-volt AC outlet.
Mentioned it is removable, so if you unscrew this nut right here, slide it down. And you can see, you can pop it right off there. It's a two pin plug. This part would be in your engine and then you can just push this plug in, line up the two holes, and then push it all the way in. And then, for security, put this nut in there and then just tighten it down.Now, you do want to make sure the heating element is fully submerged in the oil or the coolant before plugging it in because this element can burn out in seconds if it's not surrounded by oil or coolant.
It is constructed of a durable rust-proof stainless steel. It is CSA-approved and it is made in the USA. The thread size on this is three-quarter inch NPT. The heating element length, from here to here, is three and three-fourths inches. The wattage, I mentioned, is 300 watts.
And a couple of notes on this is you do not want to use this heater with a hundred percent antifreeze solution and you do not want to start your engine with the heater plugged in. It does come with a nice set of detailed instructions. But, that should do it for the review on the Kat's Heaters 120-Volt, 300-Watt Oil and Coolant Threaded Immersion Heater..

This 3-3/4" long immersion heater submerges in your oil or engine coolant to keep your engine fluid from thickening. The result is easier start-ups, faster heating of your cab, and less wear and tear on your vehicle in cold weather.Works great! I built a preheater out of 1" pipe and used your heater with a tiny thermostat for heating the fuel for my converted hot air furnace which burns used motor oil in my workshop.
we used the device to conduct an experiment in side a gearbox with a new prototype design seal we need the the internal temperature to go to 70 C it was able to do this but it was not able to achieve our 100 C BUT IT PERFORMED IN A MANNER THAT WE WERE HAPPY WITH THANKS FOR THE DEVICE IT HELPED US ACHIEVE OUR GOAL
I have recently purchased this product as an experiment and not for its intended use. I purchased this product to heat oil on a small homemade quench tank. So far so good! I have not been able to get an exact temperature of the oil but it works for what I intended it to be. The slight problem was the threads. If you purchase this product for any fluids under pressure you may have to rechase the threads. I could not find any couplers to fit over the 1” NPT. Where I do not have fluids under pressure I was able to get one full turn out of the threads with no leakage.
Hi' I bought this heater for my snowblower motor. (22Hp. twin Briggs & Sratton) I just bought a 1/2" x 3/8" bushing (motor drain plug is 3/8"), 2- 1/2" unions. And there I GO. Thank You! & Okee-Dokee I'm in busness.
The heater works great. Heated 8 quarts of 50W racing oil to 230deg.F in about 40min. in a dry sump tank.
I need to preheat the straight 50W oil prior to startup on a cold engine.
