Having a blower kit installed with the fireplace was an option that we went back and forth with about since the builder told us there wasn't an on/off switch for the blower. We were concerned that the noise of the blower might be too loud and then we would be stuck with it every time we wanted to use the fireplace. After doing some research, I found this blower which could be turned on and off and could also be adjusted. My husband and I watched the video on youtube to figure out how to install, the written instructions that come with the blower are kind of useless. I would also recommend that people watch the video before buying this unit and then take a look at the area below your firebox and make sure you've got the room to get everything inside okay. Once you get the unit and are ready to install, I'd suggest hooking the blower up to an outlet and testing the heat sensor with a lighter to make sure the unit is working properly before going through the hassle of installing it and then finding out you have a faulty blower. I'd also suggest making sure your outlet below the fireplace is working properly. We found out the hard way that one of our outlets below the firebox wasn't live. The space where the blower was being installed on our fireplace was seriously small. You should do a dry run with the velcro tabs in place before trying to get this unit in its final position, and make sure you've gotten the area free of dust and debris. We had barely any wiggle room at all and decided to pull back the tabs on the velcro strips just a tiny bit, get the blower almost entirely in place and then pull them off at the last minute. If we had taken them off before trying to place the blower (like the video suggested) we never would have been able to get the unit inside without it sticking to every surface but the one we wanted it to adhere to. Once the unit is set up, leave the space where you installed the unit open as you test the blower and give the fireplace a trial run. It's going to take 10-15 minutes for the bottom of the fireplace to heat up to 120 degrees (which is the temperature that will activate the blower), so don't think the blower isn't working when it doesn't come on as soon as you turn your fireplace on. When we lit our fireplace, we realized that our heat sensor was a little too far away from where the real heat was being generated and we moved it more to the middle of the bottom of the firebox so it would activate sooner. Once the blower was activated, we fiddled with the blower setting until we found a sweet spot where the air was moving nicely, but the blower noise wasn't overwhelming. Then we closed everything up. This is not a difficult install if you take your time, watch the video and think about how you're going to go about placing the unit before you do it. We saved approximately $150 doing it ourselves instead of having the builder do the job and got a better understanding of how the blower and our fireplace worked. Review: Very High Quality Blower - I have an older gas fireplace (an old Mendota DXV 35). The original blower was very loud. I think my fireplace is older than the ones I can find manuals for because the replacement blowers do not match what I had. I bought this along with several others to try to find a solution that would work. This one was by far the highest quality. Most of the others I bought claimed to have ball bearing support, but didn't actually. This one does. The wiring was all pre assembled, which was nice. The pads for reducing vibration were already installed on the bottom of the unit. My personal favorite part is that there are strong magnets on the back for mounting the blower to the back of the unit. This makes installation super easy, and, presumably, any service that's needed in the future. I also appreciate that the thermodisc is magnetic... again, making installation easy. I put the rheostat on an existing control plate. The included nut was a bit odd in that there are no threads on the rheostat base, but I was able to make it work. This unit was about twice the price of others I purchased, but was definitely much higher quality and a better value! Also, for those that might be in my situation with an old Mendota DXV - 35: this isn't as wide as the original blower (original was about 12.5 inches in opening, this one is about 9.5) and is larger in diameter. I'm not certain what the CFM rating of the original blower was, but it was likely either 130 or 160 cfm. So far, I think this one has sufficient flow to circulate air. This does fit without removing the entire firebox, although it takes some finagling. ## Features - Fireplace Blower Fan Kit: Circulate warm air efficiently with our blower kit for gas fireplace; this kit includes a ball bearing blower, a 3-prong power cord, a rheostat, a snap disc thermostat, mounting neodymium-style magnets, & noise reduction padding - Premium Quality: Built with a ball bearing blower assembly and high-quality components, our heatilator blower kit is engineered for smooth, efficient operation with reduced wear over time for long-lasting performance - High Airflow Performance: Equipped with a ball bearing motor delivering 3000 RPM and 130 CFM of high-pressure airflow, our gas fireplace fan blower kit provides efficient circulation with low vibration, quiet operation, and improved efficiency - Easy Installation: Fully assembled and pre-wired, this fireplace heat blower kit includes a thermostat, rheostat speed control, and mounting accessories; a perfect DIY solution for upgrading your blower for a gas fireplace without complex setup - Wide Compatibility: Compatible with multiple models, including Heatilator and similar units, our universal fireplace blower fan kit works as a versatile upgrade; ideal as a replacement fireplace blower kit, it fits a wide range of gas fireplace systems ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004UJ3SVK | | Air Flow Capacity | 130 cfm | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,544,626 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) #279 in Fireplace Fans | | Blade Material | Plastic | | Brand | FireplaceBlowersOnline | | Brand Name | FireplaceBlowersOnline | | Collection Name | Fireplace Blower Kits | | Color | Metal | | Connector Type | Standard North American 3-prong electrical outlet | | Control Method | Touch | | Controller Type | Rheostat | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 691 Reviews | | Electric Fan Design | Blower | | Electric fan design | Blower | | Finish Type | Finished | | Included Components | Cord | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Installation Type | DIY | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 4"D x 13"W x 4"H | | Item Weight | 2.04 kg | | Main Power Connector Type | C13 or C14 | | Manufacturer | FireplaceBlowersOnline | | Material | Metal | | Model Name | GFK4 | | Model Number | AMAZON-GFK4KIT | | Motor Type | brushless | | Mounting Type | Velcro | | Noise Level | 1 sones | | Number of Blades | 4 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Number of Power Levels | 3 | | Number of Speeds | 3 | | Part Number | GFK4KIT | | Power Source | AC | | Product Dimensions | 4"D x 13"W x 4"H | | Recommended Uses For Product | Air Circulation | | Room Type | Bedroom, Living Room | | Size | 12.5" x 3.23" x 3.73" | | Special Features | Variable Speed Dial | | Speed | 3000 rpm | | Style | Modern | | UPC | 658354404045 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Voltage | 115 volts | | Warranty Description | We back all of our products with a comprehensive 1 year warranty. | | Wattage | 35 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** FireplaceBlowersOnline - **Color:** Metal - **Electric fan design:** Blower - **Mounting Type:** Velcro - **Power Source:** AC - **Product Dimensions:** 4"D x 13"W x 4"H - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Air Circulation - **Room Type:** Bedroom, Living Room - **Special Feature:** Variable Speed Dial - **Style:** Modern ## Images ![GFK4, GFK4A, FK4 Fireplace Blower Kit for Heatilator - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Bd1n20FdL.jpg) ![GFK4, GFK4A, FK4 Fireplace Blower Kit for Heatilator - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81mFOZ4PxKL.jpg) ![GFK4, GFK4A, FK4 Fireplace Blower Kit for Heatilator - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Rf2qYs0EL.jpg) ![GFK4, GFK4A, FK4 Fireplace Blower Kit for Heatilator - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81HkyyooqsL.jpg) ![GFK4, GFK4A, FK4 Fireplace Blower Kit for Heatilator - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81FoElSmCaL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Heatilator told me that i need the GFK4B model. This one does not say B. Do you have the B?** A: Hi Mike, great question. Our GFK4 is essentially the same thing as the GFK4A or GFK4B. The "A" stood for automatic, which meant the kit included a thermostat. The "B" was used by some brands to indicate that a timer feature was added to the kit, but most manufacturers use "A" and "B" synonymously to mean that the blower kit is automatic. Our GFK4 covers all examples, so if Heatilator recommended the GFK4B, our GFK4 will work wonderfully. If you have any additional questions, just let us know. **Q: i have a lopi berkshire gas stove. i would like to install a fan. will this unit gfk4 fit in my stove? how many sones??? thank you** A: Bob, if you have 3.5 inches of clearance between the bottom of the lower opening and the top of that same opening you should be able to get this in. You will have to remove anything that is in the bottom of the stove except the gas valve itself. That means the electrial unit that is there and the gas line that feeds the burner unit. Not too bad if you are comfortable with doing it, but if you are uncomfortable with removing gas lines, etc. someone else should do this for you. It takes about 45 minutes from start to finish. **Q: Is this correct for the Heatilator nb4842 model?** A: Yes, the GFK4 is the correct blower kit for the NB4842 model! Regards, Jason **Q: Will the fit the Desa International fireplace v42ps-a??** A: Yes, this will fit the V42, but we typically use the larger BKT blower kit on these models. I do have the BKT blower kit available here on Amazon, so let me know if you have any questions.

They are well built units and work well. I also want to mention that the support from "fireplaceblowers" is excellent. They promptly answered questions by email and were available by phone as advertised on their website. My installation is good but my friend's installation had an issue. These work by placing the blower below and at the back of the firebox so it blows air up the back air gap and out the top grill. The issue is my friend's fireplace has a much larger air gap (3" vs 1" in my fireplace) along the sides of the firebox which allowed a lot of the air to go down the sides to the bottom instead of out the top grill and thus recirculate into the blower. This heated up the gap under of the fireplace box which should have been cooled by incoming air. Fireplaceblowers immediately answered my phone call but, unfortuneately, did not have a ready solution. However, being able to discuss it with them helped as I devised a solution. I bought a 3x3 ft sheet of galvanized steel at Lowes, cut two 2.75 inch strips and put one strip in each air gap along the sides of fireplace to restrict the air flow along the sides. I left the 0.25 inch gap to allow side air flow if the fireplace is run without the blower. I also tested this reduced air gap to ensure I did not overheat anything but since the 3" air gap is still there, the only thing is a slight restriction of a thermally driven flow. Without an exact sketch of how I placed these sheet strips, I hope you get the idea. This worked to restrict downward side air flow, recirculating air along the sides is minimal, and good warm air is flowing out the top grill. ## Frequently Bought Together - FireplaceBlowersOnline GFK4 GFK4A FK4 Fireplace Blower Kit for Heatilator, Majestic, CFM, Vermont Castings, Monessen, Rotom HB-RB74K R7-RB74K | Ball Bearing, Quiet, High Air Flow - Midwest Hearth Rock Wool for Gas Log - 6 oz.
