My gas water heater is a crappy Rheem low NOx with motorized damper valve unit that only works well when there is a strong flue draft or when the water heater has been running and the flue is warm. If it were not for a local gas company rebate i would not have gotten this unreliable low NOx version. However, this draft inducer fan makes the gas heater run more reliably and the heater does not fault out and throw error codes as much, and it is about an order of magnitude more reliable than before. This fan did the trick. I used a generous amount of high temp heat duct aluminum foil tape to seal the pipe around and after the fan to make sure exhaust gases are not coming into the house. The fan makes some noise and a little bit of vibration, but it is acceptable and inline with my expectations. I put in a breakbean IR sensor on the motorized damper valve with a relay to only turn on the draft inducer fan when the damper is open. Its been working well for a year now so far.

The price and the quality

Works great

Great Seller and Item, Pleasure doing business with.

Item desirable! Delivery was remarkably quick. Quality of the wrapping was meritorious. Recommended.

Bought this unit as backup for a twenty plus year old unit in a woodstove flue pipe. Old unit removed two or three times a year and creosote removed. Motor getting tired and getting hard to restart. Decided to install new unit and move old unit to backup.Old unit installed securely with four corner screws, three side screws, and two top screws. New unit - only four (now much smaller) corner screws. Enlarged four corner holes to work with old unit corner screws. Drilled 5 new holes for three side screws and two top screws. Now installed in place of old unit. Other than mounting holes, new unit seems identical to old, twenty plus year old unit. Now securely installed and running perfectly. Well designed, well constructed unit. Solid Scandinavian (most likely Dansk!). Great device for wood stove with poor natural draft.

I have a through the wall pipe for my wood stoveWas getting smoke during startup and loadingThe fire was also not burning like it should lazy fire-Solved the smoke problem about 95 percent which is great!-Fires are really easy to light and they continue to flame when the doors shut-Gets the wood stove up to operating temperature within minutes (250 degrees)-Makes starting and maintaining heat much easier for my older dad--less work.If you are having any wood stove problems get one of these--rated at 575 degrees.Used an angle grinder to cut the hole (came with a sticker that adheres to the pipe)I used self tapping screws instead of the ones included.Used Red high heat silicone to seal it (under the side flanges and then on the top and bottom on the outside.Insert the small flange on top--into the stove pipe, then put in the bottom, once flush push the unit up and hold (may need some help) while you get your first screw into place.Bought a 3 foot plug with open wires and wire nutted the like colored wires together (fan and plug)--plug in, the fan is on--unplug the fan, is off--easy.Mounted the fan vertically after the damper and before the elbow (includes examples for locations and wiring differences).So far so good--been running without issue about a week.

Created a draft on a 4 pipe perfectly...

Decent price especially with two day delivery. Relatively easy installation. Runs quietly.

Easy install, first noise level, really recommend

The good: The draft inducer works great.We bought it to help with a smoke problem in our newly built coal fired forge.The inducer works great! We were a little skeptical about its ability to move enough air to be effective.It turns out to have plenty of volume.The installation was a little tricky but the wiring was a piece of cake. I wish it would come with all the hardware. Missing was a conduit clamp that you have to use to keep the incoming conduit from getting cut over time.The bad: Well, it really isn't all that bad. Just annoying.The problem is in the template. You have to be VERY careful when applying the template to the exhaust tube or it will not line up square which causes the mounting holes to be off just enough to be problematic.Once the hole is cut out in that case, it can't really be easily fixed properly.We wound up replacing one piece of the exhaust tube. Luckily I had made a copy of the template just in case.Overall thought this is a good product.Hopefully it will last for the long haul.

Loved it

Very easy to install, nice and quiet fan.
