Product Details

The Kat's 11426 is a 400-watt frost plug engine heater designed to keep your engine warm during cold weather conditions. This direct-immersion heater installs into the engine block by replacing a 38mm frost plug (also called a freeze plug or expansion plug), positioning the heating element directly in the engine coolant for efficient heat transfer.

Key Features:

  • 400-watt heating element provides efficient engine warming
  • Fits 38mm (1.5-inch) frost plug openings in the engine block
  • Direct coolant contact for superior heat distribution
  • Reduces engine wear by ensuring proper oil flow at startup
  • Improves cold-weather starting performance
  • Reduces emissions and improves fuel economy during warm-up
  • Helps prevent engine damage from cold starts

By warming the engine block and coolant before starting, this heater ensures that engine oil maintains proper viscosity and flows immediately to critical engine components. This pre-warming significantly reduces the stress and wear associated with cold starts, extends engine life, and helps your vehicle reach operating temperature faster for improved cabin heating.

One of the top 10 places online to find the best deals on performance parts, either for street or strip. In the last two weeks I found more better deals at Autoplicity then at any other online performance parts store.. Gone_10_in_Sec..

nice and easy

Great price and quick communication. Can't beat them.

Pre drilled holes for the bolts to go in would be nice to have

i ordered on a weekend so there was an unexpected one day delay on the shipping, website did not update the shipping when i called shipping did not answer but emailing got a quick response and an appology, i ordered on a sunday 3/4/12 recived my hella supertone horns today 3/12 i kind of wished they put some bubble wrap or something inside the box that they shipped in tho. i installed them already and they work like a dream

After weeks of shopping around, I was able to find the best price from Autoplicity. The ordering process was very simple since I had the option to pay through my Amazon account. Great experience.
