ILS-3-8T Solid State Variable Speed Control – 3 Amp, 300 Watt, 120V – 7ft Cord – Fireplace & Stove Blower Fan Controller
Take control of your fireplace or wood stove blower with the ILS-3-8T Solid State Variable Speed Control. This convenient plug-in fan speed controller provides infinitely variable speed adjustment for compatible electric fans and blowers, allowing you to adjust airflow to suit your heating and ventilation needs.
Designed for use with compatible split capacitor, universal, and shaded pole motors, the ILS-3-8T is rated for 3 amps, 300 watts, and 120 VAC. Its convenient 7-foot power cord provides additional reach to nearby electrical outlets, making it a practical solution for compatible fireplace blowers, wood stove fans, and other blower applications.
Similar in function to the SC-300 plug-in speed control, this solid-state assembly offers the added convenience of an extended cord for flexible placement.

Not every motor can be controlled using a solid-state variable speed controller. Always verify that the motor manufacturer permits electronic speed control before connecting this product.
Why Use a Variable Speed Blower Controller?
Many fireplace and stove blowers operate at a fixed speed, which may produce more airflow or fan noise than desired. A compatible variable speed controller allows you to adjust the blower output to better suit your heating needs.
Reducing blower speed may help lower airflow noise, while increasing the speed can provide greater air circulation when additional heat distribution is desired.
Benefits of Adjustable Blower Speed:
• Customize airflow to suit room comfort
• Reduce fan noise when lower airflow is sufficient
• Increase air circulation when additional heat distribution is needed
• Adjust compatible blower output without changing the blower motor
• Conveniently control compatible fans from an accessible location
7-Foot Cord for Convenient Placement:
The ILS-3-8T includes a 7-foot cord, providing additional reach compared with controllers that must be positioned directly at an outlet.
This extended cord makes it easier to position the control where it can be conveniently accessed while maintaining the required clearance from hot appliance surfaces.
ILS-3-8T vs. ILS-3-8:
• ILS-3-8T – 7-foot cord
• ILS-3-8 – 8-foot cord
Both models are identified as solid-state variable speed control assemblies. This listing is specifically for ILS-3-8T with the 7-foot cord.
Important Compatibility & Electrical Notes:
• Use only with motors approved for solid-state variable speed control
• Maximum controller rating is 3 amps and 300 watts at 120 VAC
• Do not exceed either the current or wattage rating
• Verify the motor's electrical specifications before use
• Do not use with motors that require a different control method
• Do not use with incompatible electronically commutated motors (ECM), electronically controlled motors, or other equipment not approved for this type of controller
• Keep the controller and cord away from hot stove or fireplace surfaces
• Follow the appliance and motor manufacturer's electrical safety instructions
Important Safety Note:
This controller is intended for compatible 120V fan and blower motor applications. It is not a universal speed controller for every electric motor or appliance.
Do not use this controller to reduce the speed of a combustion or exhaust blower where doing so could interfere with the appliance's required airflow or safety systems. Never bypass factory-installed temperature switches, safety controls, or protective devices.
