Frequently asked questions

Is this quote-only?

Yes. Fume hoods should be quoted by configuration because width, liner, sash, services, blower, and base/countertop selections affect the final product.

Are blowers included?

Blowers are listed as optional equipment and should be sized to the hood and ductwork.

Can dimensions be customized?

Standard sizes are available on the cut sheets; custom sizes are available where noted and must be validated by iQ Labs.
