Point of Entry Safety Light

VENTRY Fans with Honda GX160 and Honda GX200 motors 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 these two GX-series engines, it provides instant light when the fan starts, right where it’s needed, before, during, and after operations.

The Safety Light aims in any direction and folds down when not in use, adding nothing to the fan’s storage dimensions, and takes firefighter abuse. 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 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 is rugged and will stand up to firefighter use and abuse. It is covered under our five-year warranty!

***LIMITED SUPPLY*** We have a limited supply of special GX120 motors with the necessary charging coil needed to run a light. After these special motors are sold, GX120 fans will no longer be available with the Safety Light. The light is 50 watts on 20GX120 and 24GX120 models, while supplies last.

Wheels Options x 2

Wheels are standard on some VENTRY Fan models and optional on others. There are two different styles or configurations of Wheel options, the availability of which varies by model. Please see the Fan Price Charts for availability.

Solid Rubber vs. Pneumatic Wheels: You may have a choice between solid rubber or pneumatic tires, depending on whether you pick Wheels/Skids or Wheels & Folding Tow Handle. Solid rubber wheels are polyurethane wheels with ABEC-5 bearings which roll very smoothly and are extra rugged. Pneumatic wheels are air-filled and allow for easy transport over very rough terrain, rocks and gravel. Wheel options may increase a fan’s weight slightly and storage size; see the Fan Specifications sheet for details.

1) Wheels & Folding Tow Handle option

Fans with “Wheels & Folding Tow Handle” include either solid rubber wheels or pneumatic tires on the front and a handle in the back.

The folding tow handle lifts up and locks into place, extending horizontally out the back. The fan tips slightly away from you to roll. Pull the release to drop the handle back down against the fan body when not needed.

2) Wheels/Skids option

The “Wheels/Skids” option includes solid rubber wheels, a vertical handle, and stair skids. (Pneumatic wheels are not available on 20-inch fans or in combination with the stair skids.) The photo at left shows how this option works.

The vertical handle is pulled straight up from the center of the fan. Tip the fan toward you to roll. When not needed, pull a release and the handle may be lowered back down out of the way behind the guard. Stair skids are included when Wheels/Skids are chosen. Skids allow the fan to slide up and down curbs and stairs easily, without damaging the guard. Pic X shows Wheels/Skids clearly. Note the vertical handle is up in this photo, but could be retracted if desired.

Spark Arrester

The Spark Arrester fits just inside the muffler. 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 the page dedicated to Misting Rings.

Ultimate Door Stops

This is a clever, useful, well-engineered tool for firefighters, also called a Wedge It. It can be used in several different ways to keep a door open. Every firefighter needs one! Hang one or two on your VENTRY Fan, or make sure everyone in the department has one. These make terrific gifts for fire fighters. CLICK HERE for a brochure showing how they work.

One free Ultimate Door Stop is included with the purchase of every new VENTRY Fan. Additional Door Stops may be purchased. Click here for catalog listing.

Positive Pressure Attack book - Free with Fan Registration

Education and training are vital to the safe and successful use of Positive Pressure Attack and Positive Pressure Ventilation (the tactic is also sometimes called tactical ppv, ppv in a coordinated attack, or forced ventilation).

We offer a complimentary copy of the book “Positive Pressure Attack for Ventilation & Firefighting” by Garcia, Kauffman and Schelble to customers who order VENTRY Fans for fire/rescue applications and register their fan with us. Limit one per department.

To supplement the information provided in the book, we recommend also reading our Fan FAQ pages on the topics of propellers, shrouds, noise and pneumatic wheels.
