Robertshaw FK-165-RT Fan Kit
The Robertshaw FK-165-RT Fan Kit is a heavy-duty fireplace blower replacement engineered to optimize heat distribution in gas hearth products. This universal fireplace fan kit features a high-performance 165 CFM cross flow blower with sealed ball bearing construction, ensuring quiet, long-term operation under high-temperature conditions. Designed for versatility, this kit is compatible with Heatilator, Heat & Glo, and Skytech models, often serving as a direct field upgrade for GFK4 and FK4 series blowers.
Installation is streamlined via magnetic mounting strips and foam anti-vibration pads that minimize mechanical resonance against the firebox. The system includes a rheostat manual speed control and a thermostat sensor (thermistor) that automatically activates the motor when the combustion chamber reaches 110°F and deactivates it once the unit cools below 90°F. Operating on standard 120V AC 60Hz power, the FK-165-RT helps contractors reduce callbacks by providing a reliable, energy-efficient fireplace blower solution that maintains consistent ambient room temperatures.
Key Benefits- High Airflow Output: Delivers 165 CFM to maximize heat transfer efficiency in large living spaces.
- Durable Construction: Features sealed ball bearings and single cross-flow blades for reduced friction and extended service life.
- Automated Thermal Control: The 110°F/90°F temperature sensor ensures the fan only runs when the fireplace is at operational temperature.
- Variable Speed Adjustment: Included rheostat speed control allows for precise manual airflow tuning to balance noise and performance.
- Universal Compatibility: Fits a wide range of hearth brands, replacing common numbers like R7-RB74K and GFK4B.
Is the Robertshaw FK-165-RT compatible with my existing fireplace?
This kit is designed as a universal gas fireplace fan and fits most units with a rear mounting area of 12.75" W x 4" H x 3.5" D. It is a common replacement for Skytech FK-165 and Heatilator GFK4 series.
How do I install the temperature sensor for proper activation?
The sensor must be placed against the metal surface of the combustion chamber where it can heat up quickly. If the sensor is laying on the floor of the fireplace, it may not reach the 110°F activation threshold.
Can I adjust the fan speed manually?
Yes, the rheostat control knob allows you to turn the fan on/off and adjust the blower speed to your preferred comfort level.
