Benefits of our fume hood products

Our reconditioned fume hoods all come supplied with a work surface (typically epoxy, resin, or stainless steel, depending on the hood) and base cabinets. Many of the chemical fume hoods we sell are supplied with flammable material or acid storage cabinets, so if you need a particular type of base cabinet we’ll make sure to offer hoods that meet your needs.

Our reconditioned fume hoods are in inspected for guaranteed quality

We inspect each fume hood to make sure the baffles are installed correctly and secure, that the sash and counterbalance systems work smoothly, and that any and all necessary fixtures such as water, air and gas valves are installed. We have a variety of widths available at any given time, including 3’, 4’, 5’, 6’ and 8’ benchtop models, as well as some floor model units. American Instrument Exchange also offers a 90 day warranty on all fume hoods.

High quality low cost fume hood products

But don’t mistake low cost for low quality: Our technicians inspect all fume hoods to make sure that the baffles are present and intact, the interior lights are functioning, and that the sash is intact and runs smoothly on the tracks along with the counterweights. We can also provide information on the fixtures installed on each hood. Please note that we do not provide blower motors with fume hood sales. For more information on blower motor selection please feel free to call or email us; we recommend speaking with an HVAC specialist regarding your particular motor needs.

tech working on fume hood

Fume hoods are designed to limit exposure to hazardous or toxic fumes, vapors or dusts. Air is drawn from the front (open) side of the cabinet. Ducted fume hoods expel vapors/dusts outside the lab through a facility’s exhaust system. Ductless hoods draw vapors and fumes through a filter or filters and circulate air back into a room without the need of an exhaust system. The expelling/filtration of the air protect the users from inhaling toxic gases.

We do not provide motors with our fume hood and do not recommend purchasing used blower motors. Because of all the different variables involved in selecting a blower motor we suggest that customers speak with their facilities managers or a HVAC services firm to determine what model motor is best suited for their space and application. Remember: a fume hood is supposed to protect personnel from breathing hazardous fumes, and selecting a blower that doesn’t help to effectively contain fumes defeats the entire purpose of having the hood.
