AM-VHB Series Hood
AM-VHB Series
Adobe PDF Version 
Heat & Condensate Vent Hoods

Exhaust only hoods to be used over equipment not producing grease laden vapors. Hoods have fully welded 10 gauge corner hanging angle, and hoods over 12' have additional fully welded 10 gauge center hanging angles. Hat channels and trim strips are installed on top of the hood and have been designed to make the top of the hood rigid. This allows installation without damaging the top roof panels. This series of hoods has been designed using the latest in solid modeling software. The manufacturing and assembly processes being used are state of the art. Each hood goes through a rigorous computerized quality control system that is designed to make sure the very best products are shipped to the customer.

Hoods can be built with a double wall option. This option is used when switches are needed on the face of the hood. The double wall option also adds rigidity to the front of the hood at the same time guiding moisture laden air and heat towards the exhaust riser and away from the front of the hood.

The gutter option (-G), is a full perimeter gutter with a drain for high condensate applications. 430 stainless steel is standard on all panels, and 304 stainless panels are standard on hoods with gutters.
