301045005 - Miller 5x10 Low Profile Fume Extraction Nozzle

Optimized Source Capture for Precision Welding

The Miller 301045005 Low Profile Extraction Hood is a specialized accessory designed to enhance the efficacy of Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) systems in industrial welding environments. Unlike standard bell-mouth or conical hoods, this unit features a rectangular 5-inch by 10-inch aperture. This geometric configuration is engineered to provide a wider capture zone along the axis of the weld joint, reducing the frequency with which the operator must reposition the extraction arm during longitudinal welding passes. By maintaining a consistent capture velocity across a broader linear area, the hood ensures compliance with industrial hygiene standards while minimizing process interruption.

The "Low Profile" designation refers to the hood's reduced vertical footprint. In complex fabrication scenarios, large extraction nozzles can physically interfere with the workpiece or obscure the operator's line of sight to the arc. This hood mitigates such issues by offering a sleek, unobtrusive profile that can be positioned in close proximity to the source of particulate generation without impeding torch manipulation. The aerodynamic design within the plenum ensures that airflow is distributed evenly, preventing turbulence that could otherwise disturb shielding gas coverage while effectively removing manganese, hexavalent chromium, and other hazardous fume constituents.

Constructed from durable, heat-resistant materials, the Miller 301045005 is built to withstand the thermal cycling and mechanical rigors typical of heavy manufacturing. It integrates seamlessly with compatible Miller extraction arms, ensuring a secure seal and optimal static pressure maintenance. For facility managers and safety officers, equipping stations with task-specific hoods like this 5x10 model represents a proactive step towards maximizing the ROI of fume extraction infrastructure by ensuring that the suction is applied exactly where it is most effective.
