While Kat's does not give a specific amount of time the Lower Radiator Hose Heater # KH16500 will take to warm up a vehicle, I have found several reviews which state it only take between 30 minutes and 1 hour for the vehicle to get up to temperature.

As this can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer you will typically see the ground wires ran to a frame/chassis ground. This reduces the number and amount of wiring that is required to run all the wiring directly to the battery.
