Core Benefits
See Every Angle, Every Time
Built with 5mm high-strength tempered explosion-proof glass on all four sides, the JH-FC048 delivers uninterrupted 360° visibility. Whether you’re demonstrating a procedure to a full classroom or monitoring a colleague’s technique from across the bench, nothing is hidden from view.
Double the Utilization, Not the Footprint
Independent vertical sashes on both the front and back allow two operators to work simultaneously and safely, back-to-back. This doubles the practical utilization of a single hood—ideal for labs with limited bench space and budgets.
Smart, Integrated Controls
Intelligent control panels and multi-functional power sockets are built into both columns, giving each user independent access to airflow monitoring, lighting, and power—no matter which side they’re working from.
Space-Saving by Design
As a benchtop model, the JH-FC048 installs directly onto standard laboratory benches or purpose-built workbenches, avoiding the added cost, weight, and space demands of a floor-standing fume hood.
Why Choose the JH-FC048
Traditional fume hoods are built for one user, facing one direction. That works well for individual research, but it falls short in teaching environments and collaborative labs where visibility, interaction, and shared access matter most.
The JH-FC048 was designed specifically to close that gap. Its panoramic glass structure lets instructors, students, and observers follow a demonstration from any angle, while the double-sided sash system lets two people work independently without waiting their turn. For labs that want to maximize equipment use while maintaining safety and visibility standards, this model offers a practical, cost-effective alternative to running two separate hoods.
Who It’s For
- University Teaching Labs: Give every student a clear view of demonstrations, regardless of where they’re seated.
- Training Centers: Support hands-on group learning with a hood built for visibility and interaction.
- Collaborative R&D Benches: Allow two researchers to work side-by-side (or back-to-back) without hood-sharing delays.
- Shared Workstations: Maximize equipment ROI in labs where bench space and budget are tightly managed.
Key Features
360° Panoramic Visibility
All four sides are constructed with 5mm high-strength, tempered, explosion-proof glass, providing unobstructed sightlines for demonstrations, supervision, and collaborative work.
Double-Sided Vertical Sash
Independent, smooth-operating vertical lifting doors on the front and back allow two personnel to use the hood at the same time, from opposite sides.
Integrated Smart Control System
Intelligent control panels and multi-functional power sockets are built into both columns, ensuring each side operates independently and efficiently.
Premium Steel Construction
The cabinet frame is built from 1.0mm high-quality cold-rolled steel with an epoxy resin powder coating, offering long-term durability and corrosion resistance in demanding lab environments.
Stepless Counterweight Sash System
A stepless counterweight balancing mechanism ensures smooth, controlled sash movement and helps maintain consistent face velocity.
Flexible Worktop Options
Choose from 16mm phenolic resin, 19mm epoxy resin, or 20mm ceramic worktops to match your lab’s chemical resistance and durability requirements.
VAV Compatibility
Fully compatible with Variable Air Volume (VAV) systems, allowing integration into modern lab ventilation infrastructure.

FAQs
Can the JH-FC048 be installed on any existing lab bench?
The JH-FC048 is designed for flexible benchtop installation and fits most standard laboratory benches, as well as specially designed workbenches. Please confirm your bench dimensions with our team to ensure proper fit.
How does the double-sided sash system improve lab efficiency?
Because the front and back sashes operate independently, two people can use the hood at the same time from opposite sides. This effectively doubles the hood’s utilization without requiring a second unit.
Is this fume hood suitable for teaching environments?
Yes. The 360° panoramic glass design was specifically developed for teaching and demonstration settings, allowing students and observers to clearly see procedures from any angle.
Is the JH-FC048 compatible with our building’s ventilation system?
The unit is compatible with Variable Air Volume (VAV) systems and is designed to maintain a face velocity of 0.4–0.6 m/s. We recommend consulting with your facilities team to confirm compatibility with your specific ventilation setup.
What worktop material should I choose?
This depends on the chemicals and procedures used in your lab. Phenolic resin, epoxy resin, and ceramic worktops each offer different levels of chemical resistance and durability—our team can help you select the best option for your application.
