B-AIR.COM 4Introduction Designed to move large volumes of air, the Vent VP-25 can be used for drying wet carpet, furniture and floors and may also be used for ventilation. Product Features Compact yet powerful, the Vent VP-25 is lightweight and perfect for use in crawl spaces, cabinets, closets, or any other cramped areas that need to be dried. The Vent VP-25 is just the right size for small drying jobs. Since the Vent VP-25 pulls only 2.1 amps on high and has daisy chain capability, up to 5 units can be connected together using just one outlet. This allows the operation of more equipment while creating a dynamic drying vortex. While the Vent VP-25 is lightweight, mobile and easy to transport, nothing is sacrificed in terms of air moving effectiveness. This is a unit that can be left on overnight for days until the job is completed and dry. Note: The unit should not be left unattended for any length of time. The Vent VP-25 can be daisy-chained with up to five units together to create a unique drying vortex, or the individual units can be directed into difficult-to-reach spots. As the Vent VP-25 draws only 2.1 amps at its highest setting, it is among the most efficient air movers in the industry.
