Compact Screw-Plug Immersion Heaters for Oil and Coolant


Heat oil or coolant inside small containers to reduce the viscosity of the liquid and improve flow. These heaters fit in compact openings that are 1 NPT or smaller. With a low-watt density, these heaters operate efficiently and won’t burn out when used with a wide range of oils and coolants. The heating element is made of stainless steel, so it resists corroding when exposed to chemicals.
Both ends of these heaters are threaded, so one side fits into your tank and the other can be threaded into a conduit to protect the wiring. For the most evenly distributed heating, choose the largest length of heater that will fit in your container. To control the settings of the heater, they must be connected to a temperature switch or controller (required but not included).
Note: Fully submerge the heating element in liquid to prevent heater failure.
