- 99000123 front mount blower assembly for Lopi & Avalon Answer, Revere, 1250 Insert & 1750 Insert. Dual blower assemblies with high temp sealed ball bearings, high temp aluminum wheels and improved air flow. High quality ball bearings provide quite and smooth operation, while prolonging the life of the blower assembly. Blowers do NOT require oiling, but we still recommend regular cleaning of the blowers.
Please note that #99000123 replaces #99000128. #99000123 is backwards compatible with the older model #99000128.

Can this be used Infront of a wood fireplace heat area? Not directly infront of the fire are but slighlty higher up.How hot can the unit get?
It's not designed to be used in that way, but could theoretically be used on a hearth to help distribute heat. We'd probably recommend bypassing the temp sensor then on the backside, which automatically controls when the blowers turn on and off. A sensor in your case wouldn't really help. These are made with higher heat environments in mind, but not designed to be directly exposed to nearby flames. You'd have to have this far enough away from any standing flame as to not ruin sensitive electrical and wiring. Hope that helps. -Jason
Is it easy to to clean mine?Its starting to get loud
These need to be cleaned on a regular basis due to the environment they're being used in. Compressed air (don't spin wheels) along with a soft bristle brush and vacuum cleaner attachment will go a long way. Access to the blowers is tight on these units, so it helps to remove the screws so the housing can be disassembled and the blowers access more easily. If you have an original kit, the rivets all need to be removed in order to open the housing. Hope this helps! Cheers, Jason
Will this fit Lopi evergreen insert ?
The official Evergreen blower part number is #99000132, but this does fit the Evergreen. Few aesthetic issues when mounted to the Evergreen, but nothing serious that causes any performance issue. It technically bolts right up :) Regards, Jason
I don't get the benefit of the thermal sensor. I have operated my Lopi too many times and for quite a few hours and apparently the sensor is not getting hot enough to start the blower. Hard to believe.
Hey Karen, some like the sensor while others don't. They are easy to bypass if you'd prefer to run manually. Feel free to call us directly and we can always help. We can also walk you through how to properly test to make sure the sensor is actually working. Cheers, Jason
I have an Ironstrike Performer C260 with blower. Do you have any videos with this unit?
Not on the C260 yet, but if you have one you'd like to send us, we'd be happy to work on it for you :)
Thanks. Don’t need service yet, but when I do…
I’m actually having trouble understanding how the auto feature works with the rheostat
@@michaelgadeke5712 The auto / off switch either bypasses the thermostat sensor and allows you to control the blower manually, or engages it and makes the blower automatic. So in auto mode, the thermostat sensor becomes part of the wiring harness, which means the blower won't turn on until the sensor is hot. It will also turn the blower off once the sensor cools off. If you prefer to use the blower manually instead, you move the switch to the OFF setting and the thermostat sensor is bypassed. Hope that helps!
@@fireplaceblowers makes sense. Thank you. In auto mode where do I place the blower fan speed adjuster?
@@michaelgadeke5712 Anywhere you'd like! The rheostat can be adjusted to whatever speed you'd like while in auto or manual mode :)
I have an OEM version of this attached to my lopi stove. I feel like it is very loud and does not actually move that much air... How much more air does this move comparitively?
Great question! If we were comparing the OEM and our aftermarket kit brand new out of the box, our blowers are rated 30 CFM more each and have a 20% higher static pressure rating. Both of these equate to a better performing blower assembly. They are also 100% sealed ball bearing, whereas some of the original blowers were brass sleeve. We also use a metal wheel vs the composite wheel on the OEM kits, which helps eliminate any possibility of the wheel warping, cracking or melting if an ember were to get into the blower housing. Hope this helps! Regards, Jason
