Engine Block Heaters

Freeze Plug Heaters


Ensure quick winter starts and reduced engine wear with Zerostart® freeze plug heaters. These heaters have a die-cast aluminum mounting flange and copper heating element for maximum life and efficiency and are a direct OEM replacement in many applications. All freeze plug heaters include an electrical cord and installation instructions. Heaters attach to the engine by threading into the block or by using Zerostart's V-LOC™ system.
