Wells WVU-96SS Universal Ventless Exhaust Hood System w/ 96" Cook Zone

Engineered to eliminate the prohibitive cost and structural demands of installing traditional exterior ductwork, the Wells WVU-96SS Universal Ventless Hood System delivers a high-capacity, self-contained ventilation solution ideal for large restaurants, hotel kitchens, food halls, stadiums, historic buildings, and leased commercial spaces with ducting restrictions. Position this expansive 98-inch-wide unit over multiple electric cooking appliances—including fryers, griddles, hot plates, or ovens up to a total combined length of 96 inches—and connect it to an electrical power supply to capture grease-laden vapors and cooking odors right at the source. The unit utilizes a completely self-contained, multi-stage filtration process featuring stainless steel baffle grease filters alongside high-efficiency HEPA and activated charcoal combination filters that 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 filters cannot safely capture or remove, whereas electric units generate 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 cooking equipment if filters are missing or full, the Wells WVU-96SS complies with NFPA 96 standards to give operators maximum cookline flexibility, peace of mind, and a rapid 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.
