Engine Heater SafeStart 400 series

The flange in 400 series heaters (except 420 – 423) consists of a metal pipe. This pipe can surround all of, or parts of, the active element. The heater is placed in a specified location in one of the engine’s water hoses, end on end with a metal component, such as on the water pump. In this way, the entire active part of the element is surrounded by metal.
