Fume Hoods for Laboratory Safety
We offer a full range of fume hoods including bypass, add air, variable air volume, and ADA compliant fume hoods that provide reliable airflow control and fume containment in laboratory spaces. These units feature rugged internal frames, chemical-resistant interiors, and adaptable sash configurations for optimized performance. Designed to support research, academic, and industrial labs, our fume hoods meet CSI 11 53 13 ventilation standards while delivering energy efficiency and user safety.
Bypass Laboratory Fume Hoods
Bypass fume hoods maintain consistent exhaust flow through upper and lower bypass slots to balance face velocity as the sash moves. These units are ideal for labs with sufficient room air supply and offer chemical-resistant interiors and integrated lighting.
Features include:
- Double bypass design for steady airflow
- Automatic upper bypass control with sash movement
- Lower bypass maintains workspace protection
- Available in resin-chem, PVC, or stainless interiors
- PVC or stainless sash guides with fluorescent lighting
Add Air Laboratory Fume Hoods
Add air fume hoods integrate a dedicated makeup air plenum to conserve conditioned lab air by reintroducing up to 70 percent of exhaust volume. Bypass airflow and sash control features ensure safe operation.
Features Include:
- Makeup air plenum conserves HVAC load
- Bypass design manages airflow balance
- Interiors available in resin-chem, PVC, or stainless steel
- Adjustable sash and baffle alignment
Variable Air Volume (VAV) Laboratory Fume Hoods
Variable Air Volume fume hoods adjust exhaust airflow based on sash position to optimize energy use. These systems feature dampers and lintels to provide responsive ventilation while minimizing HVAC demand.
Features Include:- Adjustable damper control for airflow efficiency
- Lintel replaces upper bypass for controlled intake
- Compatible with VAV control systems
- Chemical resistant interior and sash options
ADA Compliant Laboratory Fume Hoods
ADA compliant fume hoods provide wheelchair-accessible sash height while maintaining full containment and airflow performance. These models offer chemical resistant interiors and adjustable sash and baffle systems.
Features include:
- Wheelchair accessible sash design
- Maintains full airflow performance
- Resin-chem, PVC, or stainless interiors
- Adjustable sash and baffle settings
