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 qualified 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 final 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 traffic aisle. Contaminated air
can potentially be pulled out from underneath the canopy when someone passes by.
• Remember, airflow 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 flow, 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.

Select a wall fastener suitable for your wall construction and
the weight of the canopy.
1. Installation
• Mark a level line at the desired mounting height, Figure 1
Note: On wood or metal framed stud walls it is recommended to
align or move the mounting holes in the lower mounting bracket to
be centered on wall studs for a more secure mounting.
• Drill a pilot hole that is compatible with fastener type.
• Lift the canopy and align to line from Figure 1.
• Attach Canopy to wall with fasteners.
2. Installation of Exhaust and Electrical
Connect Exhaust Ducting to top exhaust collar

Safety considerations require that a schedule of inspections and documentation be set up for every
canopy hood.
An inspection record should be maintained. This record may be in the form of a label attached to the
fume hood or a log maintained by the laboratory director or safety officer.
Inspection procedures should include instrument verification of fume hood face velocity
performance and usage by observations and interview.
Procedures should consist of a physical examination of liner condition and cleanliness, baffle and
sash operation and condition, sash cable and guide wheels, and service fixture function.
All results should be recorded and reported to the proper authority for any required action.
Consult your company safety department for recommendations covering the materials you plan on
using.
Cross-drafts, created by the room ventilation system or from an open window or corridor, if located
adjacent to the hood, can drastically disturb the flow of air entering the fume hood face and even
cause a reverse flow of air out of the front of the hood. Room conditions such as these should be
avoided. The velocity of the cross drafts should not exceed 20 percent of the fume hood face velocity.
Your Laboratory Safety Plan and Company Procedures should combine to create a safe and
healthful work environment.
MAINTENANCE
To preserve looks, periodic cleaning with mild detergent is usually sufficient.
