Product Features

Purpose-Built for Millivolt Systems

FWS1 provides a dry-contact closure across the millivolt valve’s control terminals, delivering dependable on/off operation for Empire/White Mountain Hearth remote-ready fireplaces.

Hard-Wired = Always Ready

Unlike remotes, a wired wall switch isn’t impacted by low batteries or pairing issues—perfect for primary living spaces and rental properties where simplicity matters.

Clean, Familiar Styling

Standard single-gang format with a low-profile toggle makes it easy for anyone to use and blends with common wall plates.

Install with Thermostat Cable

Run low-voltage thermostat wire from the firebox control compartment to the switch location; follow your fireplace manual for routing, strain relief, and maximum cable length. No wire included.

Complements Other Controls

Use FWS1 as your primary control or as a backup alongside handheld remotes or smart thermostatic accessories (when supported by your fireplace model).
