Low Bench Fume Hood

Airfoil Low Bench & Walk-In Chemical Fume Hoods

Large apparatus or complex set-ups may require the use of a Fume Hood specifically designed to meet these requirements. The BMC Low Bench Fume Hood is supported by an 18" high table and has an interior height of 63 3/4 ". The Walk-In Fume Hood has two vertical rising sash that allow you to roll in large equipment or portable work stations.

Design

The Low Bench Fume Hood has a four panel horizontal sliding sash. Each panel is a 7/32" thick laminated safety glass and is trimmed on the edges with stainless steel "U" channel.

The Walk-In Fume Hood is equipped with two independently operating, full view, vertical rising sash. Each sash is glazed with 7/32" laminated safety glass and is counterweighted for one finger operation of any position.

Both Low Bench and Walk-In Hoods are framed with inward angled members to minimize turbulence and provide smooth movement of air into the Hood. The lower airfoil on the Low Bench Hood maintains a 1" space, below the horizontal sliding sash panels, which allows air to flow continuously across the work surface of the Hood.

Low Bench and Walk-In Hoods have a double wall construction that allows for easy installation of service fixtures and routing of interior plumbing and electrical lines. The Hood interior is white "Resin-Chem" and has removable interior access panels on both sides.

Interior Lighting

A maximum width, two tube light fixture, complete with tubes, is provided with the Low Bench and Walk-In Hoods. The light fixture is mounted above a sealed safety glass panel isolating it from corrosive fumes and hazardous vapors. The tube lights are easily replaced through the top front of the Fume Hood superstructure.

Options

A variety of service fixtures are available for installation in the Low Bench and Walk-In Fume Hoods. Mounting holes for fixtures and electrical receptacles are provided in the superstructures for final on-site installation of optional equipment.
