Are you looking for a schematic or a general install document?

Here are some instructions installing in a Lopi freestanding.

Thanks for the info.Any idea what to do if my blower doesn't have the quick connect wires?

I haven't had a chance to look at how my blower is wired up but my hunch is the thermodisc simply acts as a thermal relay to turn on/off blower via other electronics within the variable speed control unit. The power to drive motor does not pass through the quick connect wires/thermodisc since gauge of wire is far different between the two.

Can you provide any info about the blower you do have? Does it have a part number? Is it variable speed?

Most often on woodstoves the thermodisc is rated to switch the amperage of the blower and is direct wired in series with the low-amperage blower. If you are not electrically inclined, maybe keep it simple using a Stove-Stat?

I wasn't sure on mine... that is probably how mine is as well.

Good recommendation... that unit should easily do the job.
