Point of Entry Safety Light
Honda GX-series VENTRY Fans are available with an optional 12-volt Articulated Light for point of entry (POE) lighting. Self-contained, waterproof, and powered by a small alternator in the GX-series engines, it provides instant light when the fan starts, right where it’s needed, before, during, and after operations.
It aims in any direction and folds down when not in use, adding nothing to the fan’s storage dimensions, and takes firefighter abuse. (It is a rugged light, covered under the five-year parts and workmanship warranty). This is a tremendous safety feature for fire fighters as a point of entry light, lighting the scene before entry, lighting the exit on the way out, and lighting the fan itself during rapid departures!
The light provides 100 watts of power on the GX200 fan and 50 watts on the GX160 and GX120 models. Note, the Safety Light is not an add-on to existing fans, as the engine itself must be selected with the internal power supply at the time of sale (see FAQ).
Do not worry about breaking the light - it will stand up to firefighter use and abuse and, like all of our products, is covered under our five-year warranty!

Wheels & Folding Tow Handle
As of July 2008, the Wheels & Folding Tow Handle option on 20-inch VENTRY Fans will use Razor® Wheels, as shown in the middle left photo. These will be the same price as the solid rubber wheels. Click here for the press release.
VENTRY Fans are available with Wheels and a Folding Tow Handle, making transport even easier and increasing maneuverability. The wheels do not touch the ground when the fan is in operation, so stability is not compromised. The wheels are available as either solid rubber or 8-inch pneumatic. Solid rubber wheels and the folding tow handle are standard on the 24-inch Honda GX-200 and the 24-inch Kohler CH6 models. Pneumatic wheels are only available on 24-inch models and are standard on the propane-powered fan.

Spark Arrester
The Spark Arrester fits just inside the muffle. It captures sparks, preventing any from exiting the motor during operation. Spark Arresters (also spelled spark arrestors) are required on all engines operated in national parks within the United States.

Tachometer
The digital Tiny Tach is a tachometer and hourmeter. It tracks hours and RPM, allowing for performance report, diagnostics and maintenance scheduling. Complete details are available at www.tinytach.com.

Filtered Misting Ring Kit
Our fan’s water Misting Ring Kit is filtered! Tiny impurities in water supplies can render most misters useless very quickly, but a 22-micron filter (right) on ours flushes clear with the turn of a switch. Retrofits to any fan with a guard. Click here for photos and more details on the misters.

Safety Propeller
Unique to VENTRY Fans, and included on every model, our Safety Propellers hold the secret to high CFMs and are a combination of state-of-the-art proprietary technology and good old-fashioned hand craftsmanship. Available in either 20- or 24-inch sizes and for a range of engine horsepower. The propellers may be purchased for use on other fans, but the fans must be able to handle the thrust produced. More...
Engines
We offer several engines from which to choose, including Honda GX-series, Honda GC-series, and Kohler 6 hp CH6 (Command Pro 6). Specifications are available on the Specifications page and also from the manufacturers. Click here for the FAQ on GX versus GC engines.
