    Plymovent Metal Tube Arms FAQs

    Straight answers to the questions people ask most when choosing and using metal tube fume extraction arms.

    What is a metal tube extraction arm and when is it the right choice?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    A metal tube extraction arm is a jointed arm made of rigid metal tube sections, with swivelling joints that let you place the hood right next to the weld. It is connected to a fan or a filter unit, which draws fume away at the source before it reaches the welder's breathing zone.

    Rigid tube arms hold their position once set, stay smooth inside for good airflow and tend to be tougher than flexible hose in a busy workshop. They suit fixed welding stations, benches and repeat work where the hood can be parked and left.

    How do I choose the right arm length and reach?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    Measure from the mounting point to the furthest place you will actually weld, and choose an arm that reaches it with the joints still slightly bent. An arm stretched fully straight is harder to position and tends to droop or pull out of place.

    Also think about the area the arm must cover: a long arm covers a wider circle but is heavier and harder to move precisely. If the work area is large, two arms or a different mounting point is often better than one very long arm.

    How close does the hood need to be to the weld?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    As close as you can get it without being in the way. Capture drops off quickly with distance, so a hood close to the arc catches far more fume than the same hood held further back. Guidance on the best distance varies between makers and hood designs, so check the manual for your own arm.

    Position the hood to the side or just behind the arc, in the direction the fume rises, so the airflow carries fume away from your face rather than across it. Keep cross-draughts away from the work.

    What is the difference between hanging, standing and wall mounting?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    Hanging mounts fix the arm from above, from a ceiling, beam or frame, which keeps the floor and bench clear. Standing mounts sit on a base or stand on the floor or bench, which is handy where there is nothing overhead to fix to. Wall mounts bolt the arm to a wall or column and swing it out over the work.

    Whichever you choose, the fixing point must be strong enough to carry the arm and cope with it being pulled and pushed. If you are unsure about the structure, ask a competent person to check it.
