Re: Legality of third party fans

This rule is now anachronistic and silly. It should be changed to allow all 12v fan motors provided they meet some reasonable CFM spec. Come on Frank/FRC/GDC people... do the right thing.

Over the years I think we've given away or thrown out 90% of the simple box fans included in the kit so I couldn't give you a part number if I wanted to. I honestly don't think most inspectors could tell you if one came from the kit or not for that matter and I'm reasonably certain there are enough parts from old kits that I could pull out that an inspector would now tell me are illegal...

This is a silly rule.
