Airfoil ADA Chemical Fume Hood

BMC's ADA Fume Hood is designed to meet the unique needs of wheelchair operators. The ADA Fume Hood delivers all the features and capabilities of our standard Fume Hood line with special accommodations built in to meet the specific requirements needed to provide a safe work site for wheelchair operators.

Design

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits discrimination in hiring and promotion on the basis of physical disability. The BMC ADA Fume Hood is designed to provide a safe and comfortable work area for a wheelchair bound person. The extended height of the sash also makes the ADA Fume Hood a practical work station for a standing individual.

The ADA Fume Hood comes complete with a full framed combination horizontal/vertical sliding sash. The sash is glazed with 7/32" laminated safety glass and is counterweighted for one finger vertical operation. The four horizontal sliding panels glide on a dual track system for easy access into the Hood.

Double wall construction of the Hood superstructure allows for easy installation of service fixtures and service lines. The entrance of the Hood is framed with inward angled members to provide for smooth movement of air into the Hood. The interior lining is white "Resin-Chem" and has a removable access panel on each interior side.

Interior Lighting

A fluorescent light fixture completed with tubes illuminates the interior of the ADA Fume Hood. The light fixture is isolated from the Hood interior by a sealed safety glass panel. Relamping of the fixture is accomplished from the top front of the superstructure.

Options

In addition to optional service and electrical fixtures for the ADA Fume Hood, BMC also features an optional sash with a split viewing panel, secondary containment trough, airfoil, remote adjustable baffle, baffle screen, and air-flow monitor. Any or all of these options can be incorporated to meet specific needs or HOPEC requirements.
