Wells WVU-48SS Universal Ventless Exhaust System w/ 48" Cook Zone

Designed to eliminate the high installation and structural costs of traditional exterior ductwork, the Wells WVU-48 Universal Ventless Hood System provides a versatile, self-contained ventilation solution ideal for restaurants, food trucks, airports, kiosks, and leased commercial kitchens with strict ventilation restrictions. Position this 50-inch-wide unit over single or multiple electric cooking appliances—such as fryers, griddles, or ranges up to a total of 48 inches in combined width—and connect it to a single 208V/240V electrical source to capture grease-laden vapors and food odors at the source. The unit utilizes a multi-stage filtration process consisting of stainless steel baffle grease filters and high-efficiency HEPA/charcoal combination filters that recirculate clean air back into the room. This system is engineered exclusively for electric cooking equipment because ventless hoods recirculate indoor air; gas equipment generates toxic combustion byproducts such as carbon monoxide, gas flues, and excessive moisture that air filtration media cannot remove, whereas electric equipment produces only grease particulate and steam. Built with durable stainless steel, an integrated Ansul fire suppression system, LED task lighting, and smart airflow sensors that prevent appliance operation if filters are missing or full, the Wells WVU-48 complies with NFPA 96 standards to offer foodservice operators maximum equipment flexibility, fast ROI, and hassle-free menu expansion anywhere electrical 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.
