local sources. PVC, CPVC, PP, Dual Laminate, and FRP materials are
used for construction depending upon each specific application. Hood
lengths can vary from as little as 12" to 40' long.
All KCH exhaust hoods are fabricated of Type I or Type II, Grade 1,
high impact PVC, polypropylene or FRP. The basic hood shape is fabricated
of .1875" (3/16) thick PVC and hot welded. For additional strength
and reliability, joints are welded both inside and outside wherever
possible and corners along the length of the hood are heat formed.
Slot dividers on vertical type hoods are internally
reinforced using .25" (1.4) thick PVC sheet, angle spaced not
greater than 12" and all lip type hoods have top and bottom slot
section reinforced with .25" (1/4) PVC.To prevent warping, additional
PVC reinforcing is used as required to strengthen the hood at critical
points. All KCH hoods are equipped
with a means of preventing liquid from accumulating in the bottom.
Hoods having a plenum lower than the lowest slot have a drain crease
in the bottom with a 1" threaded coupling. |
