Direct Drive Positive Pressure Fan
If you prefer the reliability and power of a gasoline-powered PPV then look no further than the Direct-Drive Gas Fan from Tempest – where precision meets reliability. And it's American-made.
Reliable, High-Powered Operation - Experience power, durability, and unmatched performance with the Direct-Drive Gas Fan, designed specifically for positive pressure ventilation (PPV/PPA).
AirFlex Composite Impeller – Available with you choice of 16", 18", 21", or 24" AirFlex Fiberglass Reinforced Polyamide Blades.

Enhanced Safety Grille - Continuous spun wire grilles at front and rear, strengthened by eight tie-point bars, maintain structural integrity and adhere strictly to CE Safety Standards.
Ergonomic Design - Perfected over three decades of rigorous research, field testing, and refinement, the ergonomic frame provides effortless lifting, carrying, and transport with strategically placed handles.

Best-in-Class Gasoline Engines - Equipped with the renowned Honda® GX Series engines, these fans offer unbeatable reliability and high-performance output, ideal for residential positive pressure attack.
Durable Non-Pneumatic Wheels – Easily navigate stairs, curbs, fire hoses, and rough terrain effortlessly with robust 8" non-pneumatic wheels. Stability is enhanced by anti-vibration rubber feet, eliminating unwanted movement during operation.
Convenient Foldable Handle – The comfortable folding handle is full-width for easy handling with gloved hands. The handle securely locks upright when needed and neatly folds down for compact storage saving valuable space.
