ADA-Compliant RX Smart Hood
Accessible, Adaptable, and Fully Certified for Modern Research
The ADA-compliant RX Smart Hood is designed to ensure that every researcher — including those who work seated — can operate a fume hood safely, comfortably, and independently. Built on the same engineering platform as our full-size RX Smart Hood, the ADA model delivers full performance with thoughtful accessibility features that support a wide range of users and laboratory environments.
Designed for Seated Accessibility
The ADA RX Smart Hood incorporates key features that make it easy and safe for seated researchers to work at the hood:
These features ensure that seated users can maintain proper posture, visibility, and containment-safe working positions without strain.
Certified Performance You Can Trust
The ADA RX Smart Hood is fully tested and validated to the same standards as our full-size models, including:
This ensures that accessibility never comes at the expense of performance, containment, or safety.
A Hood That Evolves With Your Lab
One of the most powerful advantages of the ADA RX Smart Hood is its ability to adapt as your facility’s needs change. The hood can be converted into a full-size, standard-height model by:
This allows facilities to maintain long-term flexibility without replacing the hood body — a future-proof investment for evolving research programs.
Smart, Connected, and Safety-Focused
Like all RX Smart Hoods, the ADA model includes advanced features that enhance safety and communication:
These features support a more inclusive and responsive laboratory environment.
Durable Construction With Easy Service Access
The ADA RX Smart Hood is built with the same high-quality materials and modular design as our full-size models:
This modularity ensures long-term serviceability and adaptability — essential for modern research facilities.
Produced in North Carolina. Supported Nationwide.
All RX Smart Hoods are manufactured in Charlotte, NC, ensuring:

Designed for Seated Accessibility
The ADA RX Smart Hood incorporates key features that make it easy and safe for seated researchers to work at the hood:
- Lowered control panel positioned within comfortable reach
- Ergonomic remote valve controls placed for intuitive access
- True knee space created by a chamber that is not fixed to the base cabinet
- Pull-out base cabinet for instant conversion to a seated workstation
These features ensure that seated users can maintain proper posture, visibility, and containment-safe working positions without strain.
Certified Performance You Can Trust
The ADA RX Smart Hood is fully tested and validated to the same standards as our full-size models, including:
- SEFA 1
- ASHRAE 110
- EN 14175
- UL listing for safety and electrical compliance
This ensures that accessibility never comes at the expense of performance, containment, or safety.
A Hood That Evolves With Your Lab
One of the most powerful advantages of the ADA RX Smart Hood is its ability to adapt as your facility’s needs change. The hood can be converted into a full-size, standard-height model by:
- Replacing the lower legs with standard-height supports
- Repositioning the control panel to the upper ergonomic zone
This allows facilities to maintain long-term flexibility without replacing the hood body — a future-proof investment for evolving research programs.
Smart, Connected, and Safety-Focused
Like all RX Smart Hoods, the ADA model includes advanced features that enhance safety and communication:
- Optional occupancy sensor that automatically adjusts sash behavior for energy savings and protection
- Two-way BAS connectivity, enabling the hood to receive building alerts and send status information
- Optional rear visual alert, ideal for hard-of-hearing researchers who may not see building strobes
These features support a more inclusive and responsive laboratory environment.
Durable Construction With Easy Service Access
The ADA RX Smart Hood is built with the same high-quality materials and modular design as our full-size models:
- Powder-coated aluminum wall construction for durability and corrosion resistance
- Easy-access service panels for maintenance and utility reconfiguration
- FR-grade laboratory HPL liner as standard
- Alternative liner materials and custom-sized options available for specialized equipment
This modularity ensures long-term serviceability and adaptability — essential for modern research facilities.
Produced in North Carolina. Supported Nationwide.
All RX Smart Hoods are manufactured in Charlotte, NC, ensuring:
- Tight quality control
- Competitive lead times
- Direct access to engineering and production teams
- Always in stock with max 2 week lead time
