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 is 100 watts 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!

All Wheels now include a Vertical Handle and some include Stair Skids.

Large Pneumatics do not come with Stair Skids. The vertical handle is up in this photo but can be lowered as desired.

Three Wheel Options

There are now three different Wheel options available on VENTRY Fans*:

• Solid Rubber
• Small Pneumatic (NEW!)
• Large Pneumatic

1) Solid Rubber - includes vertical handle and Stair Skids

Solid rubber wheels are polyurethane wheels with ABEC-5 bearings which roll very smoothly and are extra rugged. 5 inches in diameter, they are ideal for rural environments and mostly smooth ground. Stair Skids are included with these wheels. (If you already own a VENTRY with the original black solid wheels, you can upgrade to these new wheels very easily and inexpensively.

2) Small Pneumatics - includes vertical handle and Stair Skids

Pneumatic tires are air-filled and allow for easy transport over very rough terrain, rocks and gravel. The small pneumatic tires are 6 x 1-1/4 inches. They are small enough to be practical even on 20-inch fan models! Stair Skids are included with these wheels.

3) Large Pneumatics - includes vertical handle

Pneumatic tires are air-filled and allow for easy transport over very rough terrain, rocks and gravel. The large pneumatic tires are very big (8.5 inches in diameter). Stair Skids are unnecessary with Large Pneumatics because the tires stick forward far enough to protect the guard. Large Pneumatics are too big to be optional on 20-inch fans.

Vertical Handle. A Vertical Handle is now included with all wheel options, as wheels aren’t very helpful unless you have a handle to grab! It raises and lowers straight up and down from the middle 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.

Stair Skids. Stair Skids are included with Solid Rubber and Small Pneumatic wheel options. Skids allow the fans to slide up and down curbs and stairs easily, without damaging the guard. They are not necessary, and therefore not included, with Large Pneumatics.

Size and weight. Wheel options may increase a fan’s weight and storage size. Be sure to check dimensions carefully to make sure the fan will fit your compartment with the options you choose.

Retrofit? Wheels do not retrofit to fans; they must be specified at time of order. Please see Fan Prices for availability. Wheels are included on several fan models and may be optional on others.

Do You Need Wheels or Not? In choosing whether to have wheels or not, it maybe helpful to see how fans can be carried and to consider the size and weight of the fans.

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. Can be sold separately.

Tachometer

The digital Tiny Tach is a tachometer and hourmeter. It tracks hours and RPM, allowing for performance report, diagnostics and maintenance scheduling. Can be sold separately. 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. Can be sold separately. Click here for the page dedicated to Misting Rings.

Ultimate Door Stops

One free Ultimate Door Stop is included with the purchase of every new VENTRY Fan. Additional Door Stops are sold separately. Click here for catalog listing.

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.

Safety Propeller

Unique to VENTRY Fans, and standard/included on every fan, 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...
