Upon Receiving Canopy Hood

The HEMCO Corner Canopy hoods are shipped in cartons and wrapped for maximum protection and
ease of handling. If damaged call the adjuster for the delivering carrier promptly and notify HEMCO at
[phone].

• Carefully unpack the hood from the shipping carton.

• Check for any interior or exterior damage incurred during shipping.
Installation of hood shall be performed by qualifi ed professional who has read and understands these

instructions and is familiar with proper safety precautions. Read this manual thoroughly before
installing this equipment.

SITE PREPARATION

1. Provide clearance around installation site to safely rig and lift equipment into its fi nal position.

2. For proper exhaust range, install unit within 10-12’ of external exit point.

3. Thoroughly review plans showing engineered placement.

4. Verify no interferences to keep exhaust ducting straight and without bends or twists.

5. Determine that enough room above hood is available for any duct or electrical connections.
It is important to check with local authority having jurisdiction to determine that the installation method

is satisfactory to meet their requirements prior to installing the equipment.

Avoid any obstruction while raising hood so as to not scratch or damage hood while being hoisted.

• A Corner Canopy Hood can be mounted to the wall or attached to optional side wall panels.
Wall Mounting Kits are included.

• Canopy Hoods typically are mounted 30” to 36” above the work surface by locally accepted
installation guidelines.

• Keep in mind the closer the position the better the capture of fumes.

• Where connected to ceiling support should be as engineered at a structurally supportive
location and approved by contractor.

• It is recommended to not locate the canopy hood along a high traffi c aisle. Contaminated air
can potentially be pulled out from underneath the canopy when someone passes by.

• Remember, airfl ow patterns are different with canopy hoods than traditional bench top fume
hoods. Canopy hoods pull lighter than air gases up and out Fume hoods pull light and
heavier than air hazardous fumes back and up and out.

• Unlike a bench-top fume hood, Face Velocity is not measured across the vertical front opening
of a canopy hood. Generally air is being pulled from 3 to 4 sides. CFM is based on the square
foot area of the bottom of the canopy.

• To ensure the proper exhaust fl ow, the length of the ductwork and the number of 90° elbows
needs to be known to calculate a total static pressure or resistance to size an exhaust fan.
