The original FAK-1500 and FAK-3000 forced air blower kits were discontinued by Lennox and Superior several years ago and no direct replacement was offered by IHP following their discontinuation.  The original kits were a cartridge style axial fan kit that worked unconventionally compared to most standard gas and wood fireplace blowers, which usually mount in the rear of the fireplace and force air up and over the firebox.  The original kits forced air towards the floor and opened a small flapper on the end of the fan cartridge housing, which forced air back out the lower louvered panel.  We offer two models to accommodate installations on these older models.  First, our Horizontal model will force air towards the back wall like the original blower and will be installed on the floor so that air flow is being pushed towards the back wall.  If you have enough clearance at the rear wall for the blower to sit against ther rear wall, then we suggest using our Vertical option.  The vertical option allows the blower to be positioned against the rear wall so it's pushing air vertically into that rear opening.  This method is the preferred solution when space is available, since the air flow can be pushed into the rear gap with limited restrictions.  

The kit includes a 100% ball bearing blower w/ powerful neodynium magnets, noise reduction padding, power cord and wiring harness.  Also included is a wall mounted speed controller package that will replace your existing wall switch.  The rheostat provides seemless control of the blower's speed, as well as a way to turn the blower on and off from the convenience of your wall switch.

So if you have an older Lennox or Superior fireplace that used one of the FAK forced air kit variants, please contact us directly at 262-989-4882 with any questions on installation or fitment.

Steps To Finding a Blower Kit That Will Fit
  • Take all applicable measurements from your fireplace. We need to know how much vertical and horizontal clearance you have below your fireplace where the blower needs to be installed (center section, lower fireplace area)
  • Do you have an electrical outlet below your fireplace that is functioning?  3-prong or 2-prong outlet?
  • Is your fireplace circulating?  Do you have louvered or vented upper and lower panels?
  • Finally, we can recommend a universally fit blower kit that will fit your space.
