What Tools Are Needed When Installing A Fume Hood

When installing a fume hood, a variety of tools are needed, which are mainly used for drilling, fixing, connecting and cleaning, etc. The following are some commonly used tools and their uses:

Screwdriver: Screws and fasteners used to fix the fume hood, ensuring that the fume hood is firmly installed on the wall.

Electric drill: It is used to drill holes in the wall to fix the fume hood on the wall. The selection of an electric drill should be determined based on the material of the wall and the size of the screws.

Wall drill: Similar to an electric drill, it is also a tool used for drilling holes in walls. Wall drills may be more suitable for specific types of walls or situations where large holes need to be drilled.

Vacuum cleaner: After installation is completed, use a vacuum cleaner to clean the installation site, remove dust and debris, and maintain a clean laboratory environment.

Wrench: It is used to tighten and loosen various connecting parts, such as pipe connections, valves, etc.

Level: Ensure that the fume hood is installed horizontally to avoid affecting the usage effect and safety due to tilting.

Tape measure or measuring tool: Used to measure the position of holes, the size of fume hoods, etc., to ensure installation accuracy.

Safety equipment: such as safety helmets, protective glasses, gloves, etc., to ensure the safety of personnel during the installation process.
