Walk-In Fume Hood
The Iroquois walk-in fume hood is a floor-mounted hood designed to handle large laboratory equipment with roll-in accessibility. The full airfoil design of the LA-series side posts promotes smooth airflow around the sash perimeter. Wide Post (flat front) and Slimline (thin wall) post styles are also available. Two independent full-framed vertical rising sashes are standard equipment. Our distillation hood, a shorter version of the walk-in, can be floor- or low table-mounted. Drawing from a half century of hood-making experience, we build hoods to accommodate almost every variety of apparatus and procedures.
Standard features include:
- Welded superstructure for structural rigidity and design flexibility to contain large equipment and conveyances
- Three-piece baffle system with three adjustable dampers to regulate lighter- and heavier-than-air gases
- Airfoil around top and sides of sash opening, with electrical fixtures and plumbing controls mounted on bias surface
- Bypass grill with adjustable louvers to control bypass air volume
- Two independent, full-framed, stainless steel vertical sash with integral stainless steel finger pulls
