Wells WVU-31CT Universal Countertop Ventless Exhaust Hood - Stainless Steel

Engineered to eliminate the high expense and installation barriers of traditional external ductwork, the Wells WVU-31CT Universal Countertop Ventless Hood System provides a space-saving, self-contained ventilation solution ideal for food trucks, historic buildings, convenience stores, concession stands, kiosks, and leased commercial kitchens with structural venting restrictions. Simply mount or set this compact 33-inch unit onto a heavy-duty equipment counter over compatible electric appliances—such as countertop fryers, griddles, or hot plates up to 31 inches wide—and connect it to an electrical power line to capture grease particulates and cooking odors at the source. The unit features a multi-stage filtration assembly that includes stainless steel baffle grease filters alongside high-efficiency HEPA and charcoal combination filters to clean and recirculate air back into the kitchen. This ventilation system is designed exclusively for electric equipment because ventless hoods recirculate indoor air; gas-powered appliances produce dangerous combustion byproducts like carbon monoxide, gas flues, and excessive moisture that recirculating air filters cannot remove, whereas electric appliances produce only grease-laden vapor and steam. Constructed with durable stainless steel, a factory-installed Ansul fire suppression system, illuminated status controls, and airflow-sensing technology that automatically shuts off connected cooking equipment if filters are missing or full, the Wells WVU-31CT complies with NFPA 96 standards to deliver maximum operational flexibility, enhanced kitchen safety, and a fast return on investment wherever power is available.

Mandatory Note

OWNERS RESPONSIBILITY: Before any Wells Mfg. Ventless unit can be powered up for the first time, the UL300 Ansul fire suppression system (provided by others) must be charged with "Ansulex" and commissioned and tagged by a certified and locally licensed ANSUL Fire Suppression contractor. This commissioning is also the commencement of an agreement between the Ansul agent and the owner and cannot be consummated by Wells Mfg, its agents, dealers or service agencies. Cost will vary by individual Ansul agent and paid by the owner, not by Wells.
