An Optional Thermodisc Kit That Runs the Gateway Blower Automatically with Stove Temperature
The Empire Stove WT1QC quick connect thermodisc kit switches the optional WB1V blower on as the Gateway stove heats up and off as it cools, so the blower runs only when there is heat to move.

Product Features
Temperature-Controlled Blower Operation
The thermodisc senses the stove wall temperature, starting the blower once the stove is hot and cutting power as the stove cools, per the Empire quick connect thermodisc instructions.
Quick Connect Installation
The kit mounts to the stove with a ground wire eyelet, case back, and lid, and the blower cord connects to the power outlet on the thermodisc.
