When it comes to protecting stormwater systems in demanding environments, not all solutions are created equal! While many manufacturers offer “standard” vented hoods, Fabco Industries has taken a different approach with our StormHood. Engineered for performance, adaptability, and long-term ease of use with all the customizability you’d expect from a Fabco solution.
One of the biggest challenges with traditional vented hoods is limited sizing options. Competitor models often come in a narrow set of standard dimensions, forcing engineers and contractors to compromise or retrofit during installation. Fabco changes that equation entirely.
The Fabco StormHood is built with customization in mind, offering a wide range of sizes and configurations to match your exact project requirements. Whether you’re dealing with unique pipe dimensions, rounded walls, or space constraints on-site, Fabco can fabricate a unit tailored to your system. The result is an accurate fit, better performance, and fewer headaches during installation and future maintenance.
On that note, installation is another area where Fabco separates itself from the competition. Traditional vented hoods often require complex wall mounting techniques that need drilling, or additional fabrication in the field.
The StormHood leverages Fabco’s proven expanding ring technology, which allows for quick, secure attachment to the outlet pipe without drilling into existing infrastructure. This reduces installation time compared to conventional methods without sacrificing structural stability.
This means contractors can spend less time wrestling with fittings and more time moving projects forward.
Ask any facility manager: maintenance accessibility can make or break a product over its lifecycle. Many competing vented hoods fall short here, offering limited access and requiring time-consuming disassembly just to check on the outlet pipe.
Fabco’s StormHood is designed to simplify every step of maintenance: The top hatch access allows technicians to quickly inspect and service internal components without dismantling the entire unit, and a front view port provides another access point for inspection and maintenance in case the hatch access isn’t ideal in a structure. The quick release plate also makes component removal and cleaning fast and tool-efficient, allowing you to remove the hood by hand without removing the expanding ring and mounting plate. Together, these features significantly reduce downtime and labor costs, making the StormHood a practical choice for facilities that value efficiency.
While competitor vented hoods may meet basic functional needs, the Fabco Industries StormHood goes further, delivering custom flexibility, user-friendly maintenance, and streamlined installation in one cohesive solution.
Choosing the right stormwater solution isn’t just about initial cost. It’s about reliability, environmental responsibility, and long-term value! Fabco’s metal inserts deliver all three.
