Benefits of Using a Frost Plug Heater

1. Simplifies Winter Starts: Keeps engine fluids at optimal temperatures, making cold-weather starts more reliable and reducing stress on the battery.
2. Enhances Engine Performance: Warm starts produce better fuel vaporization, reducing condensation in the engine block and lowering emissions.
3. Durable and Replaceable Components: The removable power cord allows easy replacement without needing to buy a new heater.

How It Works

The frost-plug heater replaces the core plug (also known as a freeze plug) in your engine block. The heating element submerges into the coolant, warming it to prevent freezing or thickening. The included power cord, which can be routed through your vehicle’s grille, plugs into any standard 120-volt outlet for quick and convenient use.

If additional cord length is required for your specific application, longer or shorter cords are available for purchase separately.
