The distance from the aperture to the aperture of an
opposing fume hood, fume cupboard, etc. should be
in excess of 3 m (10’)
You should not position the fume hood in a location
where there is an opposing wall (or other obstruction
likely to affect airflow) within 2 m (7’) of the front
aperture.
As with walls, any large obstruction such as a pillar or column projecting beyond the plane of the front
aperture should not be within 30 cm (1’) of the sides of the fume hood.
4.1.1.3 Relocating the Hood
Normally ductless fume hood are rarely moved once they are in their ideal positions, but if the need arise to
relocate or even repackage the unit, then here is some considerations:
•
Before moving the fume hood, remember to secure all moving parts, ex: sash.
•
Fume hood is heavy, be careful with the weight distribution. Usually it will take 6 or more people to
move it.
For repackaging:
•
Bolt the fume hood to the pallet.
•
Strap the fume hood body down to the pallet.
•
Repackage as necessary. If possible, use original packaging.
•
When moving the fume hood, use material handling equipment and lift the pallet.

4.1.3 Support Requirements
•
The support/cabinetry should be leveled
•
The support/cabinetry must be able to withstand the weight of the cabinet and any apparatus within
•
The support/cabinetry must be ergonomics
•
Esco recommends Esco support stand with leveling feet for BSC
•
WithoutEsco’s support stand, Esco cannot guarantee the cabinet’s resistance against tipping
and hence the user would be solely responsible for ensuring that the cabinet is securely
fastened to third party support/cabinetry.
•
The use of non ‐ leveling feet Esco support stand will nullify the third party certification (NSF or
TÜV) that the cabinet may have, because only Esco leveling feet support stand was used
during certification. The maximum NSF approved leg levelers adjustment is 50 mm (2”).
