I looked at the options and decided to build my own Zerostart heater kit. The one I'll be installing has a one-way valve.
I've seen threads where the zerostart kit was ordered from Frostheater.com and a thread where a guy used a heater similar to mine and removed the valve to install it inline.
I'll be installing mine parallel so the coolant doesn't flow through it when the engine is running. Two fittings will be used to accomplish this and I'm not sure if I will need another hose to make the bend into the top of the heater.
The white fitting came with the heater and the black one I picked up at the parts store.
I'll post part numbers and what not later after I've completed the install...
The only other component I don't have a picture of is a formed hose I got at Oreilly and it was a 5/8" with a 90* angle formed into it about 18" long of which I used 12" of, Gates part #28468.
After doing the necessary research the coolant flows down into the oil cooler then returns back to the water pump via the metal pipe that runs behind the injection pump.
Taking advantage of the integral one way valve, I will insert the fittings at strategic points to allow hot coolant to bypass the the Zerostart heater when the engine is running. However, the Zerostart will be able to move the coolant from the oil cooler up into the heater then back to the head.
The 1500W 8000 series Zerostart has the following features.
Integral check valve supports extensive range of plumbing configurations
Top-side location of power cord connection provides damage protection from road debris and chemicals, detachable power cord enhances ease of installation
Temperature sensing safety thermostat provides overheat protection 147˚F (64˚C) ON - 185˚F (85˚C) OFF
CSA approved; volts: 120, watts: 1,500, plug type: 120 volt, 12.5 amp; inlet/outlet size: 5/8” (16mm)
Convenient design and universal mounting strap
