Help installing Zerostart engine heater

[Fred431]

I am trying to install a Zerostart recirculating engine heater on my M1009 and have a question . According to the directions the bottom connection to the unit must be connected to the drain plug hole with a nipple that is supplied 1/4 NPT fitting on the other end. Does this mean the drain at the bottom of the radiator or somewhere else. The instructions arnt clear as to where only that it has to be at the lowest accessible part of the block. Any help or suggestions?

I would put a freeze plug heater in before I messed with a inline unit.. loose too much heat in the hoses.

A little late for that as I already have the unit and cannot return it. so I need to use what I have

and it is the pet cock that you have to remove and replace with the nipple

How about using a " Tee " fitting or some kind of configuration of piping were you could still be able to put a peck cock at the bottom....??
