A contractor shall furnish and install the FSX Gradient Slot Lighted (GSL) Hood with integral high intensity lighting and gradient slot design per plan. Each unit shall consist of aluminum gradient spread slot capture baffle, (4) fluorescent bulbs, receptacle fixtures, ballast junction and conduit, two slide out lenses, aluminum transition plenum and 14” dia. intake collar.

The aluminum hood shall be of gradient slot design (assures uniform capture across entire hood area). A wide shouldered aluminum plenum shall promote inbound air flow distribution and minimize hood restriction loss. Integral 115 VAC fluorescent lighting shall be installed recessed into the baffle either side of the gradient slots. Lighting lenses will be slide guide mounted, flush with the baffle surface (avoids air flow contour interference). The baffle flange shall be surrounded with a formed lip for hand positioning of the hood. Hoods shall be available in three sizes.
