Features

  • Dual‑Power Capability: Operates on DeWalt FLEXVOLT® batteries; select models include integrated shore power (120–240V AC).
  • AMCA 240‑22 Certified Airflow: Verified performance for both High‑Speed and MAX‑Mode output.
  • Brushless Variable‑Speed DC Motor: Efficient, durable motor design for consistent airflow.
  • V‑MAX Performance Design: Optimized cone and blade geometry for maximum pressure and output.
  • Multiple Size Options: Available in 16", 18", and 20" configurations.
  • Rehab‑Ready Runtime: Extended low‑speed runtime for cooling and ventilation operations.


What Is It?

The DeWalt FLEXVOLT® V‑MAX fan is a high‑output, battery‑powered positive pressure ventilation (PPV) fan designed for fire service, emergency response, and industrial ventilation applications. These fans deliver AMCA‑certified airflow using DeWalt FLEXVOLT® battery technology, with select models offering integrated shore power for continuous operation.


How Is It Used?

The fan is positioned outside a structure and angled toward an entry point to force fresh air inside, improving visibility, reducing heat, and removing smoke or contaminants. Variable‑speed controls allow adjustment for attack, overhaul, or rehab operations.


Who Uses It?

  • Fire departments
  • Emergency response teams
  • Urban search and rescue (USAR)
  • Industrial safety and maintenance crews
  • Training facilities


Power Options

  • Battery‑Only Models (BD): FLEXVOLT® battery operation
  • Shore Power Models (SP): FLEXVOLT® battery operation plus 120–240V AC, 50/60Hz shore power


Maintenance Information

  • Keep intake and exhaust areas clear of debris
  • Inspect fan blades and housing regularly
  • Store batteries according to manufacturer recommendations
  • Clean exterior surfaces after use in smoke or debris‑heavy environments


What Is It Used With?

  • DeWalt FLEXVOLT® batteries
  • Battery chargers
  • Fireground ventilation accessories
  • PPV door entry setups


Materials

  • Heavy‑duty fan housing
  • High‑impact composite blades
  • Industrial‑grade motor components


Operational Performance Notes

  • AMCA 240‑22 certified airflow reflects real‑world performance, not free‑air ratings
  • Output ratings are measured at:
    • 15 ft (4.6 m) setback
    • 10° fan angle
  • Variable‑speed control allows operators to balance airflow, noise, and runtime based on conditions


Typical Use Scenarios

Fire attack ventilation

  • Post‑fire overhaul
  • Rehab area cooling
  • Confined space air movement
  • Training facility ventilation
  • Industrial air exchange


Portability & Deployment

Balanced design for single‑person carry

  • Compact depth allows easier transport and storage on apparatus
  • Stable base helps maintain airflow angle during operation


Noise & Rehab Use

  • Lower‑speed settings support extended Rehab operations
  • Allows airflow without excessive noise during medical monitoring and recovery periods


Storage & Transport Notes

  • Store batteries separately according to battery manufacturer guidelines
  • Fan housing is designed for repeated transport and field use
  • Keep intake and exhaust areas clear during storage to prevent debris buildup


Training & Safety Notes

Operators should be trained on:

    • Proper fan placement distance and angle
    • Battery management during extended incidents
    • Transitioning between battery and shore power (SP models)


Why Customers Choose V‑MAX

Verified airflow instead of estimated ratings

  • Battery flexibility for changing incident demands
  • Shore power option for station, training, or long‑duration use
  • Consistent performance across all size options
