Ventry Fan Model 20GX160
This fan is the most popular model for fire fighting and positive pressure ventilation for several reasons. First, its engine is the largest available on 20-inch models. Its output is comparable to much larger fans but it weighs less, is less noisy, and has far lower emissions than other brands. Finally, it is the only 20-inch Ventry Fan available with the popular optional Point of Entry LED or Halogen light.
ALL-TERRAIN LEGS. Three outward-curving, independently-adjustable legs made of solid, aircraft-grade aluminum, each having a easy-to-grab locking knob for fast, secure adjustments. They give the fan three-point stability, unlimited tilt/aiming, and fast deployment. Legs provide a rock-solid stance and truly stand-alone operation, no matter the terrain or obstacles (snow, stairs, standing water, debris, rose bushes...).
VENTRY SAFETY PROPELLER. Two-blade, aircraft style, state-of-the-art propeller, engineered specifically for the 4.8 hp motor. Provides high CFM, longevity, and fail-safe performance.
CLEARANCE. Up to 14 inches between propeller and ground allows no intake of foreign matter, so debris won’t be picked up or plug the fan. For added safety and performance, always extend the legs on your Ventry Fan when in use, even if it’s only 6 inches!
FREE-FLOW GUARD. Un-shrouded, double reinforced wire guard allows maximum air supply to the propeller which increases air volume (CFM) and decreases noise. Video: noise drops and CFM increases as a solid shroud is removed from a Ventry Fan in this demonstration.
DUAL SIDE HANDLES. Side handles provide an easy, fast way for one or two people to lift and carry the fan.
LONG DISTANCE VENTILATION. Forward sweeping propeller tips produce narrow, consistent air stream for placement far from the target (8-15 ft is ideal). Fan is well out of the way of crew and equipment and allows for safer and more effective ventilation.
GX HONDA ENGINE. The Honda GX160 is a 4.8 hp heavy-duty motor featuring cast iron bores, low-oil shut off protection, an on/off switch separate from the throttle, and a fuel shut-off valve.
WARRANTIES. Backed by a 3-year warranty on the Honda motor, our overall 5-year “No BS” warranty on workmanship and materials, and Lifetime Factory Support.
