The ESX-2 model is the sloped-front version of EX-2 hood. This wall canopy, Type I, exhaust-only unit operates at low CFM and is the hood of choice for low-ceiling applications. It is ETL Listed for use over 400°F and 600°F cooking surface temperatures.

• Exhaust Flow Rates: Superior exhaust flow rates (A 4' Hood can operate at 228 CFM/ft or 912 total CFM.)
• ETL Listed: ETL Listed for use over 400°F and 600°F cooking surface temperatures, provides flexibility in designing kitchen ventilation systems. ETL Listed to Canadian safety standards, NSF Listed and built in accordance with NFPA 96.
• Sloped front: for low ceiling applications.
• Capture and Containment: Insulated, double-wall rigid front has aerodynamic design that reduces radiant heat into kitchen, prevents condensation and provides exceptional capture and containment of cooking vapors. This is accomplished with the signature ND "triangle" on the front of the hood’s capture area and the "C-shaped" design of the hood’s capture area.
• Stainless Steel Construction: Polished stainless steel on the interior and exterior of the front enhance aesthetics. Fully welded and polished front corners.
• Reduced Weight: Rigid single wall end panels reduce weight.
• Convenient Design: Factory pre-wired lighting to illuminate the cooking surface is accessible from the bottom of the hood. Easily accessible hanging angles. Will accommodate 16 inch risers.
• Channels: Hood comes standard with structural channels on top and wrapper channels on the bottom.
• Grease Extraction: All hoods come standard with a Patent Pending fully welded grease sub-assembly, high efficiency stainless steel baffle filters, and a deep grease trough which allows for easy cleaning. Captrate Combo® and Captrate Solo® filters are optional.
• Reduced Lead Times: Produced on a high volume assembly line with a Patent Pending stud welded assembly process reduces lead times.
• Clearance to Combustibles: Standard built in 3" rear standoff to meet NFPA 96 requirements.
• Controls: Hoods can be equipped with modular utility cabinets and end standoffs. Optional UL Listed light and fan control switches flush mounted and pre-wired through electrical chaseway.
• Optional Make-Up Air: Up to 80% make-up air can be supplied through an optional front and side plenums (ESX-2 Series with PSP Accessory).
