Product Features

Designed for the FBB4 blower (OEM)

Engineered by Empire for the FBB4 blower kit, the FBBX wire extension maintains factory-spec wiring lengths and routing for reliable operation and a tidy install.

Essential for compact fireboxes

Short, tight cabinets—like Vail 26—often need extra lead length to position the blower’s temperature switch and controls correctly. FBBX solves that without splicing.

Cleaner, quicker installation

With the correct harness length and connectors, installers can stage wiring before running the gas line—Empire explicitly recommends installing the optional blower before connecting the gas.

Supports correct snap-disc location

Proper temperature-switch placement helps ensure the blower comes on when the firebox is hot and off as it cools—key for comfort and safety (see model manual for switch location details).

Factory look, no guesswork

Using the OEM FBBX harness avoids ad-hoc extensions, preserves warranty intent, and keeps your Empire gas fireplace upgrade compliant with the manual.
