Paint Booth / Fume Hood

Fume hood for painting enclosed with plexiglass.

A conventional kitchen unit was remodeled for the purpose. The original fan was removed and the top vent was blocked-off. The original overhead light was left intact. A flanged air collector was fabricated and fastened to the top exhaust outlet. 2" PVC pipe is connected to a shop vacuum below.

The inlet side of the shop vaccum is connected to the top of the fume hood, while the exhaust side of the vacuum is plumbed through a wall to vent in the outside air.
