301242 - Miller 6-Inch Telescoping Fume Extraction Arm

Precision Fume Capture for Confined Spaces

The Miller 301242 Telescoping Extraction Arm is a specialized component designed to enhance air quality control in industrial welding environments. Engineered with a 6-inch diameter, this arm is optimized for efficient airflow and particulate capture, ensuring that hazardous weld fumes are removed from the operator's breathing zone before they can disperse into the facility. Its defining feature is its telescoping capability, which allows the arm to extend and retract to accommodate varying workspace geometries. This makes it an ideal solution for welding stations with limited overhead clearance or for applications where the distance between the mounting point and the workpiece varies frequently.

Industrial-Grade Construction

Manufactured by Miller, a leader in welding technology, this extraction arm is built to withstand the harsh conditions typical of metal fabrication shops. The robust materials used in its construction resist wear and tear from daily positioning and exposure to welding byproducts. The telescoping mechanism is designed for smooth operation, allowing operators to easily adjust the hood's position with minimal effort. This ease of use encourages consistent utilization of fume extraction equipment, thereby promoting a culture of safety and compliance with occupational health standards.

Seamless System Integration

The 301242 arm is designed to integrate seamlessly with compatible Miller fume extraction systems. Its 6-inch diameter is a standard size for high-velocity low-volume (HVLV) and low-vacuum high-volume capture systems, ensuring appropriate velocity pressures are maintained for effective particulate removal. By capturing fumes at the source, this telescoping arm protects not only the welder but also other personnel in the vicinity, reducing the overall background concentration of welding fumes in the facility. Whether used in maintenance repair operations (MRO), training facilities, or production lines, this arm provides the flexibility and performance required for modern industrial hygiene.

Operational Flexibility

Unlike fixed-length arms that require a large radius for movement, the telescoping design of the Miller 301242 offers a compact footprint when retracted and extended reach when needed. This versatility is particularly valuable in booths or cells where space is at a premium. The arm stays out of the way when not in use but can be quickly deployed to the exact point of welding, ensuring that productivity is not hampered by the safety equipment. Investing in the correct extraction arm configuration is critical for maximizing the efficiency of your fume management strategy.
