E-Z Heat Aircraft Engine heater for the Model 540- 2 pads - 3 1/4" X 4 1/2" X 1/32" and 21" cord connecting the two pads
Note: Please see "Engine Application Guide" Click Here for the correct EZ Heat model number for your application. Preheating engines for winter operations is at best a miserable chore and at worst can be a disaster for the plane, the pilot & flight operations - until the development of the E-Z Heat Aircraft Engine Heater. The E-Z Heat was designed to provide very efficient engine heating for virtually all propeller driven aircraft. The heaters consist of a flexible synthetic pad that easily conforms to the contours of the oil pan. This pad will heat 12 qts of oil from -40° to +60°F in an hour while using approximately 300 watts of electricity. The heater is 1/32" thick. which enables the immediate heat transfer from heater to engine. The heaters are thermostatically controlled, so leaving them plugged in overnight means the plane will be ready to go in the morning. Normally, complete pre-heating takes only 3-5 hours for the entire engine to be nice and warm. With this new lighted plug (110V models only, 220V models include no plug to allow for European outlet variance), the owner simply needs to look out the window or peek in the hangar to see if they remembered to plug in their E-Z Heat engine pre-heater. Molded into the male plug end is a newly designed light emitting diode (LED). This LED allows the operator to visually recognize if there is electrical power to the preheat system even from a distance. FAA approved for certificated aircraft. End your cold weather starting problems and reduce premature engine wear. |
Great speedy helpful service.
perfect fit and direction of installation was great. made it very easy
Easy to install and seems to heat up very fast. Early to tell about longevity but so far I’m pleased with this unit.
Bought two for my Baron. Even though it’s in a heated hangar I use the pads for preheating the oil during winter ops. Makes run ups much shorter in Northern Illinois.
I received this heater unit promptly with good instructions and easy to follow. Easy to install. I have not plugged the unit in as of yet, except to test due to not really any cold weather here yet. Worked well when tested.
6 quarts oil in a C145 Cont. 45deg to 65deg in 15min.
Great little heater, very light, easy to install and puts out a tonne of heat for its size. It heats up the whole engine in half the time that it says.
Perfect fit. Happy!
I installed model 441 on my 172M and it works as advertised. Outside air temp was 10F. I had an engine blanket on and plugged it in overnight. The temp according to the digital sender in my engine monitor said the oil temp was 66F, well within a safe temp for starting. The cylinders also felt warm to the touch and after starting, the engine was quickly up to operating temp. Great product.
Thoroughly impressed. As others have stated this pad will heat the entire engine, cylinders included. Sub-freezing temps in the hangar and my oil temp was 80 with a blanket over the cowl, 65 without blanket. Highly reccomend.

Approx 2.4 amps
These are the same units, only difference is the input voltage. The 07-05200 is intended for use with 110v input voltage. The 07-05200-2 is intended for 220v input voltage. 220v input is commonly found in Europe. The USA wall outlets are all 110v.
The heaters can take a slight curve but can not be creased due to the fact that they have heating elements throughout the pad so they can get broken, burning out the pad, if creased or bent to sharply. The round sump will take the 360 which has tabs so that you don't have to bend it.
As long as the paint is in good shape and not chipping or pealing off, you can just stick it on the painted sump.
