Expert Answers about Heaters


  • Recommended Oil Heater For A 2005 Subaru Outback 2.5
  • Your best bet will be to go with the Kats Heaters Engine Oil Dipstick Heater # KH15200. We do not offer an immersion style heater that will work with your 2005 Subaru Outback. The Dipstick Heater, on the other hand, will be a great fit. Another option is to go with a magnetic heater like the Kat's Heaters Handi-Heat Magnetic Heater # KH1155. The heater itself is 3-5/8" long x 2-1/4" wide and can be attached to the oil pan.

  • How Does Kats Heaters Thermostatically Controlled Circulating Tank Heater Install
  • The Kat's Heaters Thermostatically Controlled Circulating Tank Heater # KH30115 basically just installs in the lower radiator hose and plugs in when needed. After that you'd just need to plug the heater in and you'd be set. To install the heater you will first need to drain the cooling system. Then cut the lower radiator hose in the middle of the hose and install the Lower Radiator Hose Connector for Kat's Heaters Circulating Tank Heaters part # KH28115 (included) into the lower hose...

  • Recommended Oil Pan Heater for a 2006 Dodge Sprinter 2500 with 2.7L I5 Engine
  • I have a few options for your 2006 Dodge Sprinter 2500 with 2.7L I5 Engine, a block heater like the Kat's Heaters Custom Engine Block Heater part # KH11483 or an engine oil pan heater like the Kat's Heaters Oil or Transmission Pan Heating Pad part # KH24500. I recommend the block heater as it's a custom fit, designed for your exact vehicle whereas the oil pan heater is a universal stick-on type. I agree that an oil pan heater with direct submersion would be best but this is unfortunately...

  • How Does Kats Circulating Tank Heater KH13150 Install
  • I really wish we had the chance to install the Kat's heater # KH13150 so we could provide an install video or pictures but the best is the following written instructions: To install the heater you will first need to drain the cooling system. Then cut the lower radiator hose in the middle of the hose and install the 1-1/2" Lower Radiator Hose Connector for Kat's Heaters Circulating Tank Heaters part # KH28115 into the lower hose and secure with two hose clamps.

  • Replacement Water Heater for Atwood GC10A-E3
  • Based on my research, the GC10A-3E is a 10-gallon Atwood gas and electric water heater. While we don't have any standard water heaters that have that capacity what you could use is a tankless water heater like the part # LSB44FR. What's really great about these types of water heaters is that since they don't have a tank and heat the water as it passes through it you don't ever run out of hot water.

  • Supplemental Heater Solution for 2000 Fleetwood Pace Arrow
  • We have supplemental heaters that would work great in your 2000 Fleetwood Pace Arrow like the Camco Olympian Wave 8 Catalytic Safety Heater # CAM57351 but based on the limitations of this heater and the length of your Fleetwood Pace Arrow this wouldn't be adequate as a primary heater source.

  • Installing Kats Heaters Handi-Heat Magnetic Heater on 2014 Ford Escape
  • The Kat's Heaters Handi-Heat Magnetic Heater # KH1155 referenced in your question will simply be placed on a flat area at the bottom of the oil pan for your 2014 Ford Escape. If you are wanting to install the heater permanently you will unscrew the oil pan gasket bolt and secure the heater by bolting a piece of perforated metal strapping in place. Remove the handle from the heater and place it in the oil pan making sure it is low enough for maximum heat conduction. One thing you will...

  • The Kat's Heaters Custom Engine Block Heater - Frost Plug Style - 120V - 400 Watts - 28 mm, part # KH11419, installs in your engines frost plug. The frost plug is on the front left side of the engine, about halfway down. I have printed the instructions from the Kat's Engine Block Heater Owner's Manual.

This cartridge style heater will install in the rear right (RR) position on the engine block, which is the point of the engine that is closest to the passenger seat on your Santa Fe. I have attached a diagram to assist.

  • Which Kats Heater Do I Use for My 2016 Chevy Equinox 2.4L I-4 Engine
  • I checked with Kat's Heaters and they determine which heater to use by the OEM parts that are available for your vehicle. The 2016 Chevy Equinox with the 2.4L I-4 engine did not use a plug heater like the # KH11811, but instead will use an oil pan heater to accomplish the same thing. You will want to use the Kat's Heaters Oil or Transmission Pan Heating Pad # KH24100, which is the correct heater for your vehicle and will work on oil or transmissions with no more than 7 quarts of fluid....

  • Recommended Replacement Water Heater for an Atwood GC10A-4E
  • For your Atwood GC10A-4E water heater, I recommend going with the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR68SR. This water heater has a 13,000 - 60,000 Btu heating capacity, has cut out dimensions of 12-3/4" to 12-13/16" wide, 12-5/8" to 12-3/4" high, and requires a depth of at least 23 1/2".

  • Instructions for Katt's Block Heaters
  • The Katt's heater instructions for the # K11814 aren't super detailed. I pulled them up and found this block of text to be the only real instructions: 1) Locate cartridge hole on the engine block. 2) Clean cartridge hole of all debris. Use compressed air. 3) Attach cord to heater. 4) Install heater into the hole. Rotate the clip on the cord to the proper position to secure the heater and cord to the engine block and heater. 5) Route the cord through the grill, using cable ties to prevent...

  • Recommended Heater for Basement of Slide-In Truck Camper
  • The Kat's Heaters # KH37100 that you'd looked at works very well, but at 900 watts of output it's more than you'd need for the small space you described. I'd recommend going with a 12V heater like the # KH37500 which has a 150 or a 300 watt setting that should be perfect for the basement of your slide in camper since it sounds like you don't necessarily want the area to be heated to room temperature, but would like it warm enough so that the pipes and tanks don't freeze and the propane...

  • Recommended Tankless Water Heater to Replace Atwood Water Heater
  • Excellent idea to go with a tankless water heater to replace your Atwood heater. Tankless heaters give you immediate hot water right away and use much less energy, so it's truly a major upgrade. As for the best option, I recommend the Furrion tankless water heaters because they give you the largest amount of hot water - 144 gallons per hour - are designed more robustly than other heaters to withstand the movement and vibration that occurs in a trailer, and are easy to use with the included...

  • Wiring Diagram for Dometic RV Water Heater
  • There's a wiring diagram in the install instructions for the Dometic RV Water Heater part # DMC74FR that I attached to this page. I don't have a way to verify what the wires of your RV are that ran to your old water heater though. We do have to recommend that a qualified tech be who installs the water heater.
