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.

Common models include the AFA-500 and AFA-1000 series digital face velocity monitors, which mount on the hood superstructure and sound an alarm below the set fpm threshold. Before ordering a monitor/alarm for an existing hood, confirm the hood already has (or can accept) a junction box for the alarm’s low-voltage wiring, a nearby power connection, and a clear cable run from the monitor to the blower or damper it references. Labs USA can supply install instructions and photos for the specific monitor model with your quote.

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
