Skytech Low Profile Universal Fireplace Fan Kit with Rheostat & Temperature Sensor | FK-165-RT
The Skytech FK-165-RT is a low profile universal fireplace fan kit that pairs the F-165-1 blower with a rheostat speed control and a temperature sensor. The sensor turns the fan on when it reaches 110°F and off once it cools below 90°F, and the knob sets how fast it runs. Skytech built it to fit many hearth products, mounting where the previous fan was installed.

Questions people ask us
Will it fit my fireplace?
Skytech sells it as a universal kit for many hearth products. The blower measures 12-3/4" L x 4" H x 3-1/2" D and mounts at the rear of the appliance where the old fan was. Your appliance manual decides whether a fan kit is allowed, so send us the model and we will check.
How long does the fan take to come on?
The sensor switches the fan on at 110°F. Skytech says that can take 15 to 20 minutes, and up to 30 minutes if the sensor sits on the firebox floor. It shuts off once the sensor cools below 90°F.
Does it need regular cleaning?
Yes. Skytech asks for the fan to be cleaned twice a year to keep the warranty in place.
How is it different from the FK-165-ESC?
Both use the same low profile F-165-1 blower. This kit runs off a temperature sensor and rheostat, while the FK-165-ESC uses the FK-ESC electronic control that follows the burner flame.
