Standing Fume Arms: 3″ to 8″ Diameter, 3′ to 14′ Reach

Your welding station needs source capture that doesn’t get in the welder’s way. Standing fume arms mount to the bench or floor, stand straight up, then articulate down to the breathing zone. Pick your diameter to match your collector CFM, your length to match your reach.

What These Are

A self-supporting fume capture arm for fixed welding stations.

Standing fume arms mount onto a workbench or directly to the floor with a base plate. The arm rises straight up from the mount, then articulates over and down to position the hood within 6-12 inches of the weld puddle. Friction joints hold the arm wherever you put it, no spring tension fighting the welder. The hood pulls air at the breathing zone before fume reaches the welder’s lungs.

Pick a standing arm if

You have a fixed welding bench or station · You want the arm out of the welder’s way when not in use · Floor or bench mounting works for your layout · You’re matching the arm to a stationary collector or one of our mobile fume extractors.

Buyers most often need: 6″×10′ for general welding fab, 8″×7′ for high-CFM stainless production, 4″×5′ for benchtop work and trade school stations.

What’s included

Galvanized steel arm tube (26-gauge, blue powder coat) · Aluminum capture hood (black powder coat, sized to arm diameter) · Articulating joints with friction adjustment · Gas shock for vertical assist · Built-in shut-off damper at the hood · Grab handle on the hood · Black hose rated 195°F continuous / 260°F intermittent · Mounting bracket for bench or floor base.

Sizing Guide

Pick the diameter to match your collector CFM.

The arm diameter sets the airflow capacity. Use this table to match the right arm to your collector’s CFM rating. If your collector pulls more than the arm can deliver, you’ll choke the system. If less, you’ll waste airflow.

Arm Diameter Hood Size Recommended CFM Best For
3″ 8″ hood 80 – 120 CFM Light benchtop work, soldering, small TIG welding
4″ 10″ hood 200 – 275 CFM Trade school stations, light MIG welding, hobby fab
6″ 13″ hood 750 – 900 CFM General production welding, MFE-750 mobile units, single-station fab
8″ 14″ hood 1,200 – 1,500 CFM Heavy plate, stainless production, MFE-1350-SC mobile units

For length: 3′ for benchtop work, 5′ for standard work cells, 7′ for fixed weld stations with reach, 10′ for wide bays where the anchor sits well off to the side, 14′ for very large fabrications. Longer arms give you more reach but cost more, pick the shortest length that comfortably reaches your work.

Compatibility

Works with any collector pulling the right CFM.

ICAP Mobile Units

The 6″ arms (7′ or 10′) match the MFE-750 series exactly, same arm we bundle with that unit. The 8″ or dual 6″ arms match the MFE-1350-SC.

Central Cartridge Collectors

Running a central cartridge collector with one or more drops to welding stations? The arm at each drop should match the duct CFM at that drop. See our cartridge collectors.

Existing Third-Party Units

These arms work with any collector that pulls the right CFM and has a compatible duct connection. Call us at 602-456-9661 to verify fit before you order.

Cost

What you’ll spend.

Standing fume arms range from $1,279 (3″×3′) to $2,949 (8″×14′) depending on diameter and length. Use the configurator at the top of this page to see live pricing for any combination. Every configuration shows its freight at checkout before you pay.

Benchtop & Light Duty

$1,279 to $1,349
3″×3′, 3″×5′, or 4″×5′. Trade schools, hobby shops, soldering stations, light TIG.

General Production

$2,029 to $2,349
6″×7′, 6″×10′, or 6″×14′. Most popular for MIG/TIG fabrication and welding production.

Heavy Production

$2,559 to $2,949
8″×7′, 8″×10′, or 8″×14′. Heavy plate welding, stainless production, large fabrication assemblies.

When This Is NOT Right For You

When a different arm style fits your shop better.

Check these before you order.

  • Pollutants outside IAP’s list. IAP designs these arms for source capture of airborne pollutants from soldering, welding, cutting, polishing and painting.
  • A hot air stream. IAP rates the black hose for 195°F, 260°F intermittent.
  • No fan or filtration to connect it to. IAP attaches these arms to a mobile unit, a filtration system or a direct mount fan. The arm does not move or filter air on its own.

FAQ

Real questions buyers ask before placing an order.

Which diameter should I pick?

Match the arm diameter to your collector’s CFM. 3″ handles 80-120 CFM (light benchtop), 4″ handles 200-275 CFM (trade school), 6″ handles 750-900 CFM (general production), and 8″ handles 1,200-1,500 CFM (heavy production). If your collector pulls more than the arm capacity, you’ll restrict airflow and damage performance. If it pulls less, you waste capture velocity at the hood.

Which length should I pick?

Pick the shortest length that comfortably reaches your work area. 3′ for benchtop, 5′ for standard work cells, 7′ for fixed weld stations with some reach needed, 10′ for wide bays, 14′ for very large fabrications where the mount sits well off to the side. Longer arms cost more and weigh more, don’t over-buy.

Does the arm come with a base or mounting hardware?

Yes. Every standing arm ships with the mounting bracket included. Bolt the bracket to your workbench surface or to a floor base plate (also included), then drop the arm tube into the bracket and tighten. No additional hardware needed unless you’re mounting to an unusual surface like sheet metal or thin tabletop, in which case you’ll want backing plates or rivnuts.

What hood diameter comes with each arm size?

Hood size matches the arm diameter for proper capture velocity. 3″ arm = 8″ hood, 4″ arm = 10″ hood, 6″ arm = 13″ hood, 8″ arm = 14″ hood. The hood is integrated with the damper and grab handle, all aluminum with black powder coat finish. Hoods are not interchangeable between arm diameters.

Can I use this with my existing collector from another brand?

Yes, these arms work with any collector that pulls the right CFM range and has a compatible duct connection. The arm connects via flex hose with a worm-drive clamp on each end, which fits 3″-8″ diameter ducts. Call us at 602-456-9661 if you want to verify fit before ordering.

Why isn’t a 5″ diameter listed?

5″ diameter standing arms have been discontinued by the manufacturer. If you previously specified a 5″ arm, the 6″ diameter is the closest replacement (handles 750-900 CFM vs the older 5″ at 400-500 CFM). For applications that need closer to 400-500 CFM, use the 4″ diameter arm (200-275 CFM range) and verify your collector can match.

What hose temperature rating do the arms have?

Standard hose is rated 195°F continuous and 260°F intermittent, covers nearly all welding applications including MIG, TIG, stick, and most plasma cutting. For hotter applications like high-temp plasma, oxy-fuel cutting, or anywhere you’ll be pulling fume above 260°F intermittently, request the HT500 hose upgrade when ordering. The HT500 takes 500°F intermittent.

What’s the lead time and shipping cost?

Ships in 5 to 7 business days from IAP’s Tennessee warehouse. Transit time by LTL freight depends on your location. Freight is calculated at checkout for the lower 48. Anywhere else in the lower 48, your freight calculates the same way at checkout.
