How to position an extraction arm

Plymovent Hose Tube Arms FAQs

Straight answers to the questions people ask most when choosing hose tube extraction arms for welding fume.

How do flexible hose arms differ from rigid tube arms?

Flexible arms use a hose that bends and can be moved freely, while rigid tube arms use stiff sections joined by swivel joints. The type of construction affects how well the arm holds its position, how smooth the airflow path is and how it stands up to wear.

Which suits you depends on how often the hood is moved, how rough the workplace is and the heat and spatter around the weld. Read the maker's description of the arm and its stated use, and check the data plate and manual for your own equipment.

What arm length should I choose?

Choose a length that reaches the work position without being stretched to its limit or left in a long loose loop. Longer arms give more reach but lose more airflow in the hose and are harder to hold in position.

Measure the distance from the mounting point to the furthest weld position and consider whether the arm will reach all the places you weld.

How close should the hood be to the weld?

As close as practical without getting in the way, because fume capture falls off quickly with distance. Place the hood to the side of or slightly above the weld so that fume is drawn away from the welder's face rather than across it.

Strong draughts can pull fume out of the hood's reach, so shield the work area from cross-breezes where possible. Reposition the hood as the work moves, and follow the guidance in the manual for your own arm.

Will a hose arm work with my fan or filter unit?

The arm's connection size must match the fan or unit, and the fan needs to supply enough airflow for the arm. Arms made as part of a system are the easiest to match.

Check the connection diameter and the airflow recommended for the arm. If you are unsure, our team can help you match the parts.
