EPTEX Coatings Paint Booth Exhaust Ductwork
EPTEX Coatings booth exhaust ductwork should support the intended booth air pattern while fitting the building and production area. Duct routes, fan access, make-up air, supports, penetrations and nearby utilities should be reviewed before installation or modification begins.

Capture Path and Fan Location
The exhaust path should move air from the booth through the filters and fan with as few conflicts as practical. Fan position, transition geometry, duct length and turns can all affect performance and service access.
Replacement Air for the Finish Room
Exhaust ductwork cannot be planned in isolation. Replacement air, HVAC supply, open doors, oven exhaust and other process fans influence room pressure and powder containment.
- Identify other exhaust loads in the same area.
- Review where make-up air enters the room.
- Check whether door openings disturb the booth face.
Building Penetrations and Supports
Roof or wall routes may require coordination with structure, cranes, sprinkler piping, lighting, conduit and stored material. Support locations should keep the duct stable while preserving access to fans and dampers.
Measurements for Duct Layout
Helpful field information includes booth location, fan data, ceiling height, roof or wall construction, structural spacing, utility routes, photos and notes about production areas that must remain open.
Frequently asked questions
What determines the duct route for an EPTEX Coatings booth?
The route depends on booth location, fan arrangement, ceiling height, structure, roof or wall access, utility conflicts and service access.
Why review other exhaust systems nearby?
Other exhaust systems can change room pressure and affect how well the booth captures powder at the opening.
What should be checked at the roof or wall?
Check penetration location, structure, weather protection needs, access, nearby equipment and how the duct will be supported.
Can ductwork be updated during booth service?
Yes. Duct changes can be coordinated with booth repair, relocation, lighting or other work when the affected areas are accessible.
