I'll make a more spiffy post later. Just wanted to spread the joy/be a post whore
Fan Filter Units or ffu are designed mainly as ceiling units for clean rooms. They possess a blower, a housing and a filter. The filters are on most models are HEPA 99.99%
Cue 2001 space odessy opening music!
Take that same unit and stand it upright!

Add some typical shit..

It's a flowhood
Share your ffu and all the pleasures they bring you!!

I've been wondering all week about the difference bt the two, to the point that I was going to post about it somewhere today. I know I could google, but thanks for the clarification.
Awesome unit, congrats! Definitely my next significant investment.

Nice Mush. I'm looking to upgrade the first FH I built 2x2 to a 2x4 so I can have more space to work in front of the filter. I've noticed there's a ton of options with really good pricing. Very clean. I dislike accidentally bending the pleats on my current HEPA. Makes it look less appealing, so this is the next step for me too. Ty for sharing.

I bought (3) 2x4 units for 800 bucks. So fucking worth it. I have. a flow wall. Even though I only use about a 2x2 section of it for most things.

I just bought this one yesterday! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YY637PV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Im curious though, do I need to have something that covers the top of my work area? Like create a boxed in area or can I just plop it where my SAB is now: on that table back there

Look up the instructions you need minimum 6inches clearance behind the unit.

Was this $800 each? I always see people talking about finding steals on FFU’s that blow building your own flow hood out of the water, but when I look it’s often about the same price or more when you consider shipping. The FFU’s come with a better metal frame and assembled by professionals though…

Didn't know this thread existed so I'll be reposting a pic, I love my FFU 

2x3', paid around $900 for two of these bad boys, love working with them, no more strained sweaty 2 hours sessions in the SAB.

Never understood why people wanted to build their own! FFU FTW. I have a 2x4 Envirco got for a steal on Ebay for $500 and a 2x4 Terra universal for $1000

800 for all 3. It was a steal, I know. They were practically brand new. They're the Envirco MAC 10 LEDC models.
