What's Your Style of Welding Fume Extraction Arm?

August 1, 2022

Standard vs Telescopic Welding Fume Extraction Arms

It can often be difficult to decide what kind of welding fume extraction arm you need, whether standard or telescopic. Here are some reasons and applications where these products work their best. 

Welding fume extraction arms from IAP

Standard Fume Extraction Arms


1. These fume arms are GREAT in any industrial/manufacturing application where you want your product to be robust enough for industrial use. 

2. These fume arms are great in any high spark welding application. With there being more ridged tubing than flex hose, there’s less chance for the sparks to burn through. However, we still recommend going to a higher grade of specialty hose for this application and the use of spark protectors. 

3. Due to the external joints and hardware, these standard fume arms can be used in a wider variety of applications that arms with internal hardware just won’t last in. These applications include: Oil Mist, Dust, Powder, etc. 

4. Also due to the external hardware, these arms are VERY easy to work on and adjust when the time comes!

Telescopic welding fume extraction arms from IAP

Telescopic Fume Extraction Arms


1. These telescoping fume arms are great in areas where space might be a little limited. For example, welding booths. 

2. These extraction arms are great where safety is a BIG priority. Particularly, schools where students are typically not always on guard. These fume arms are primarily flex hose so there’s a lot less to hit your head on!

3. When you’re having to be mindful of your budget, these telescopic arms are typically at a low to  mid-range price point!

4. Telescopic arms are built for welding smoke, fume extraction. While there may be other applications to use these in, you’ll want to stay away from applications that can gunk up the internal hardware!

5. Lastly, these arms are great because of the limited number of parts. Should you need to replace any parts on your telescopic arm, there are typically only a handful of parts that makeup the entire arm!

We believe that IAP Air Products welding fume extraction arms carry all of these best qualities. No matter which style you decide is best for your application, we hope you’ll give us a chance and if you need any help deciding which style is best for you, we are more than happy to help!
