Hi Bob,

 

Thanks for the great advice.  We have already contacted the supplier and will have someone onsite tomorrow.

 

Best,

Monique

Hi Monique!

 

Most manufacturers of hoods want to assist customers with these problems. The hood mentioned here may even have the counterweight system under some sort of warranty. 

 

With such failures, first step should be to contact the manufacturer.

 

Best Regards,

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Fume Hood Sash Mechanism Inspections

 

Hello Everyone,

 

Has anyone experienced issues with sash mechanisms?  I had one fail yesterday from what initially appears to be failure of the belt of the counterweight mechanism.  These fume hoods are fairly new and I am wondering how often it is recommended that these mechanisms be inspected.  And, does anyone have a written recommended procedure for such inspections that they are willing to share?

 

Thank you,

 

Monique
