PLYMOTH WALL MOUNT FUME EXTRACTION ARM 3MT X160MM
Plymoth P-008 IS Fume Extraction Arm Ø160mm x 3m
The Plymoth P-008 is a wall or pole-mounted fume extraction arm, Ø160mm x 3m, using internal support (IS) technology instead of an external bellows frame — giving you a rigid, self-supporting arm that stays exactly where you position it, without sagging under its own weight over a shift. It's built as a benchwork extractor for welding cubicles, workshops, and any low-ceiling space where an overhead-supported arm isn't practical.
The internal parallelogram mechanism with spring-controlled lock is what sets an IS arm apart from a standard external-bellows design: it takes noticeably less effort to reposition, and it holds its angle under vibration instead of drooping toward the floor over the course of a shift. Under Australia's welding fume exposure standards (WES-to-WEL, effective 1 December 2026, AS/NZS ISO 21904), an extraction arm is only doing its job if it's actually captured over the arc — and an arm that's easy to reposition is one that's more likely to get repositioned correctly, shift after shift, rather than left pointed wherever it landed last time.
The extraction hood swings through 110°+ in every direction, and the damper lets you tune volume to the fan behind it. Note the P-008 is the arm only — you'll need a compatible extraction fan (and possibly a filter) to complete the system; QWS can help match one to your workshop.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between an internally supported (IS) arm and a standard extraction arm? An IS arm uses an internal parallelogram mechanism with a spring-controlled lock to hold position, rather than relying on external bellows tension. That makes it easier to move and more resistant to drooping over a work shift — useful anywhere precise, repeatable hood positioning matters.
Does the P-008 come with a fan? No — the P-008 is the extraction arm only. You'll need a compatible extraction fan, and possibly a filter, to complete the system. QWS can help size the right fan for your setup.
What length options are available in this range? The Plymoth IS arm range runs from 1.5m to 5m, in both 160mm and 200mm diameters — the P-008 is the 160mm x 3m option.
Is this arm suitable for a low-ceiling workshop? Yes — wall or pole mounting is specifically suited to workshops, welding cubicles, and school/training environments where there isn't clearance for a ceiling-hung system.
