The New Esco Frontier Duo Fume Hood - Generation 2

The Frontier Duo Fume Hood served as the flagship model for Esco’s Fume Hood line until the arrival of the Frontier Acela Fume Hood. The Generation 2 Frontier Duo Fume Hood incorporates several important features of the Frontier Acela line.

The main enhancement made to the EFD-G2 is to change the baffle and airfoil design to improve containment. The number of provisions for service fixtures and electrical outlets has been increased therefore increasing the model’s flexibility to cater to different customer requirements.
