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.

Speaker 1: Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Kat's Heaters Oil and Coolant Immersion Heater.Now this is going to be a really great solution for those winter months when it's harder for your engine to start. A lot of times, what happens is, the fluids in our engine or our coolant tank tend to thicken up as it gets colder outside, and that can cause a lot of damage to the engine since there's just not as much lubrication happening with those fluids.So this is going to prevent that by keeping that fluid warm throughout the night, and then whenever you're ready to start your vehicle, you'll just remove it and start your engine like normal, and it should start it up a lot faster, smoother, and easier, and that's going to help the engine to heat up faster, and warm up your car faster as well.It's gonna make your vehicle more reliable, and also to prevent any damage that can happen whenever those fluids get bound up. It also helps to reduce condensation in your engine block, which is all gonna help to emit less pollution, and fewer gas emissions.Now, this does come with the power cord. It just plugs in. As you can see, it has a two-prong design. We'll just match that up to the power cord and push that together until it connects, and then thread on the included nut with that to keep everything snug and secure.Now one thing that's nice about this power cord being separate is that, should this every become damaged, all we have to do is replace the cord instead of the entire unit, and we can be on the road faster with that.The other end will just plug into a normal 120 volt AC outlet.
This can be routed out through your grill to get that plugged up.The heating element is constructed of durable rust-proof stainless steel. It is CSA-approved, and it's made in the USA.Now, as far as some dimensions for this, the thread size is going to be one inch by NTP standard, and then the length on that heating element is going to be about three and three-quarters of an inch long, and that's going from the end of the heating element to where the threads start.The wattage on this is going to be 150 watts.Now, a couple of other notes to keep in mind with this. You don't wanna use this heater without 100% antifreeze solution, and you definitely don't wanna start your engine with the heater plugged in. You wanna make sure that that's unplugged before you go to start your engine.And that's gonna do it for our look at the Kat's Heaters Oil and Coolant 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.
