The right fume hood accessories improve safety, extend hood life, and customize your hood for specific applications. From airflow monitoring to specialty liners, these components turn a standard fume hood into a purpose-built workstation for your lab’s exact needs.

Airflow Monitors

Continuous face velocity monitoring with visual and audible alarms when airflow drops below safe levels. Digital displays show real-time FPM. Required in many jurisdictions and recommended in all labs handling hazardous chemicals. Retrofit kits available for existing hoods.

Base Cabinets & Stands

Support cabinets beneath bench-mounted hoods for chemical storage, solvent waste, and general storage. Options include acid/corrosive cabinets (with integral spill containment), flammable storage cabinets (FM/UL approved), combination cabinets, and open base stands for equipment.

Interior Liners

  • Fiberglass (FRP) — General chemistry; good chemical resistance, cost-effective
  • Polypropylene — Acid digestion, HF use; excellent acid resistance
  • PVC — Acid and corrosion resistance at moderate cost
  • Stainless Steel — High-temperature work, perchloric acid, and cleanroom applications
  • Epoxy-coated Steel — Budget-friendly option for light-duty chemistry

Service Fixtures

Gas turrets, air valves, vacuum outlets, water faucets, and electrical receptacles mounted inside or on fume hood side posts. Remote-operated fixtures keep hands outside the hood during adjustment. DI water, nitrogen, and specialty gas connections available.

Additional Accessories

  • Sash stops & sash restrictors — Limit maximum sash opening for energy savings and safety
  • Work surface inserts — Drop-in cup sinks, trough liners, and hot plate recesses
  • Explosion-proof lighting — Required when handling flammable solvents
  • Exhaust blowers — Centrifugal or axial fans, fiberglass or PVC construction for corrosive exhaust
  • Ductwork transitions — Round-to-rectangular adapters, flexible connectors, and dampers
  • Shelves & storage — Interior shelves for reagent bottles and apparatus
