Wells WVU-72SS Universal Ventless Hood System w/ 72" Cooking Zone

Engineered to eliminate the high capital costs and structural challenges of installing traditional ductwork, the Wells WVU-72SS Universal Ventless Hood System delivers a high-capacity, self-contained ventilation solution ideal for high-volume restaurants, food halls, historic buildings, hotel kitchens, cafeterias, and leased commercial spaces with ducting restrictions. Position this 74-inch-wide unit over single or multiple electric cooking appliances—such as fryers, griddles, hot plates, or ovens up to a total combined length of 77 inches—and connect it to an electrical power supply to capture grease-laden vapors and cooking odors right at the source. The system utilizes a completely self-contained, multi-stage filtration assembly featuring stainless steel baffle grease filters alongside high-efficiency HEPA and activated charcoal combination filters to clean and recirculate air back into the room. This system is designed exclusively for electric cooking equipment because ventless hoods recirculate indoor air; gas-powered equipment produces dangerous combustion byproducts like carbon monoxide, gas flues, and excessive moisture that recirculating air filters cannot safely remove, whereas electric appliances produce only grease particulate and steam. Constructed with durable stainless steel sides and back panels, an integrated Ansul fire suppression system, LED task lighting, and intelligent airflow sensors that automatically shut off power to connected cooking equipment if filters are missing or full, the Wells WVU-72SS complies with NFPA 96 standards to offer foodservice operators maximum cookline versatility, enhanced safety, and a fast return on investment anywhere electricity is accessible.

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.
