301048008 - Miller Low Profile Fume Extraction Hood 8x16

Enhanced Air Quality Control with Miller Extraction Accessories

The Miller 301048008 Extraction Hood is a specialized component designed to maximize the efficiency of your welding fume extraction system. In industrial environments where air quality and safety compliance are critical, capturing hazardous particulates at the source is the most effective strategy. This hood features a distinct low-profile design, measuring 8 inches by 16 inches, which is specifically engineered to operate in spaces where traditional, bell-shaped hoods may be too bulky or obtrusive. By utilizing a rectangular geometry, it provides a broad capture zone that aligns well with linear weld joints, ensuring that smoke and fumes are drawn away from the operator's breathing zone immediately upon generation.

Manufactured by Miller Electric, a trusted name in welding technology, this accessory is built to meet the rigorous demands of professional fabrication shops. The hood is constructed from durable materials capable of withstanding the thermal and physical stresses common in welding operations. Its design not only facilitates access to tight corners and confined spaces but also optimizes airflow dynamics. This ensures that the vacuum pressure generated by the extraction unit is effectively translated into suction velocity at the hood face, capturing even fine particulates like hexavalent chromium and manganese before they disperse into the ambient air.

Integrating the Miller 8x16 Low Profile Hood into your workflow represents a proactive step towards a safer workplace. It is particularly beneficial for bench work, jig welding, and applications where overhead clearance is limited. The hood attaches securely to compatible Miller extraction arms, maintaining the system's integrity and performance. By choosing genuine Miller parts, facility managers can ensure seamless compatibility and reliability, reducing downtime associated with equipment adjustments or failures.

Furthermore, the ergonomic benefits of this low-profile hood cannot be overstated. Because it is less intrusive, operators are more likely to position it correctly, which is the single most important factor in the effectiveness of any local exhaust ventilation system. This product delivers a balance of high-performance fume control and practical usability, making it an essential addition to any safety-conscious welding operation utilizing Miller extraction equipment.
