Halifax VHSF48 48" Ventless Hood System with Ansul Fire Suppression System - 208-240V

Ventless hoods cannot be used for frying funnel cakes and donuts due to the sugars creating different types of fumes compared to other types of foods.

With standard usage, it is recommended to replace the charcoal filters in your ventless Hood system every 90 days. Any usage longer than 90 days can cause damage to the unit. Automatic reordering is available.

Fire suppression systems are frequently required by code for type 1 hoods, and need to be designed to fit the specific layout of your cooking line.

Our ventless hoods are available with fire suppression factory-installed, or you can order them ready for fire suppression to be installed by a qualified technician in the field. Units with factory-installed systems use an Ansulex wet chemical fire suppression system to meet UL300 standards for fire protection. The Ansul® tank is shipped empty, and it must be charged and tested by a certified Ansul® distributor before use of the system. The tank is typically mounted on the wall next to the hood.

All nozzles on the integrated Ansul® system have been prepiped and factory-installed to their proper operating position. A manual pull is also preinstalled on the left side of the hood; it requires a 30” clearance on the left side. If this clearance is unavailable on the left side of your hood, please select to have the manual pull installed on the right side of the hood using the dropdowns.

If ordering a fire suppression-ready unit, the pull will not be installed, but a hole for it will be drilled on the side of your choice.

A member of our team will reach out to gather more information about your application so that the fire suppression system can be configured correctly. The sooner you provide answers to these questions, the sooner we can proceed with your order! If our team has any additional questions or concerns based on the information provided, we will work with you to resolve them and find the correct fire suppression solution for your business.

A ventless hood is a great option for commercial kitchens that do not have the capabilities for traditional vented hoods. However, ventless hoods have a special set of requirements and limitations due to their design. Because ventless hoods work by recirculating air through a system of filters, fresh air supply and ventilation of the room is needed for proper safety and functionality. We recommend consulting your local authority to find out if ventless can work in your kitchen.
