Line voltage thermostat for radiators

in THE MAIN WALL
I am looking for a line voltage thermostat to attach to a ceiling mounted steam radiator to turn on a fan when the radiator is hot, and to turn it off when it cools.

The radiator is mounted between the original ceiling and a drop ceiling, and the heat gets trapped up there, so I thought that a ventilation fan would help this situation.

If anyone knows where to buy somthing like this, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Phillip

    You could use a surface mount aquastat that would mount to the return pipe coming out of the unit heater. once the water reached the desired temp it would close allowing power to the fan. The aquastat is probably less than $60.00 then you have your wiring and labor of course.
