Would this work as a wall-mount thermostat for a gas fireplace?

maybe yes maybe no...if you already have an existing switch on the wall that is just on/off that is 110v... then yes....just take it out and replace with this...if no then you will need additional components.

This is a thermostat that is normally used for 220V (or even 110V) AC systems. Other thermostats are typically used for DC systems (e.g. where a transformer is present in the circuit).I would consult the gas fireplace wiring diagram.That being said, the thermostat mechanism seems to be MECHANICAL so it could switch any electrical signal...which means it could work for your gas fireplace even though that is NOT the anticipated use for this thermostat.There is no battery or control circuitry/LED in this simple unit.

I wouldn't these are for baseboard heaters , 220 volt and would work for 110 , if you are needing one to turn on na blower for your fireplace there are various good kits for this and use thermal switches that stick ( magnet ) to the fire box or are mounted and if you need one to turn on the gas it is a whole other kit and you would need to get one for that application , hope this helps .

The Owners Manual specifically says that the on-board thermostat can be bypassed and can work with a wall mounted thermostat. Very easy to do. This ability is important as the heating unit must be installed not less than 6 feet from the floor, which would make the built in thermostat difficult for most people to reach. Adding a wall mounted thermostat is very convenient.

It will work only if the fireplace insert extends 5 inches or more out of the flush wall of the original firebox. This will give you a place to set the fan on. I doubt it would work well with a gas fireplace insert because the temperatures reached are not high enough to make the fan spin. It does work well with a wood fireplace insert.

It had mounts to the wall and is sturdy. I think it would be a good option for your fireplace. Good luck.

These items mount to a single box but not into a box.. They protrude about 1 to 1.5 inches from wall just like any other thermostat. You could put it on the end of the 4 gang box and modify the switch panel cover to accomodate this unit.

Yes. I have this thermostat on both just a furnace and a furnace with central air. Works great.

If you can turn your fireplace on/off with a regular wall switch you buy at a hardware store then you can use this to do it remotely. It is just a remote controller AC wall switch. For your gas fireplace, unless you can turn if off and on electrically, this will not work.There are electrically controlled natural gas valves that you might be able to rig up with a remote controlled switch but I don't know an out of the box solution.

I would say yes, if the tv is not too big. It would be unbalanced and unattractive if too large. The top of the fireplace is roughly 3' wide, it is level and stable but mine is also leaning against the wall. It would not be too hot for the TV, I run mine not continually. It doesn't overheat the wall or the fireplace. I have a large, heavy mirror on mine, and framed pictures and some brass pieces. It is fine. holding its shape. hope this helps.

The thermostats we purchased went on the baseboard, but they do make a model for a wall mount it will have a wire between the two. They are made to fit in a switch box.

Hi Bruce, the GreatCo 50" Wall Mount Fireplace has a bottom vent heater, so mounting a tv above the unit should not be an issue.

No you would need to purchase the thermostat separately and it mounts on the end of the baseboard.

I would think so, however it works fantastic as designed with the thermostat..

This thermostat is for hydronic heating systems (hot water radiators heated by a gas or oil furnace). If thats what your in wall gas heater does, then this is the ticket - it only has 2 wires to hook up - right to the ones from your old thermostat I'd guess. If its hot air you've got I'm not sure if this is the one you'd want. You might talk to a local heating guy about it.

Absolutely! The contact is isolated so it can switch anything up to it's current and/or voltage rating. Your fireplace mV thermocouple signal is not a problem.

Yes. The sensor insider will work regardless of what position it is in, i.e. it's not affected by gravity. Mine is on the wall just above and to the side of my kitchen fireplace.

I would not do that unless you knew the location of the internal thermostat. Check with manufacturer or schematic.

No it's designed for heaters or furnaces requiring external thermostats. the do make thermostats like you're after there a little pricey. But allows you to have an outlet that is controlled by the temp
