Viking BVWH84878 48-Inch Brigade Hood
The BVWH84878 is a retired 48-inch Brigade wall hood, designed for commercial-style kitchens, with high-powered ventilators, a heavy-duty filter system, halogen lighting and heat lamps. At 48 inches it sits over a large range or rangetop.
A hood this wide demands a duct that can pass the full airflow, and a restricted duct is the usual reason overheat protection trips. We inspect the duct, damper and cap. Noise at high speed comes from a dirty or unbalanced blower wheel or from a worn bearing. The halogen lights and heat lamps are tested at the bulb, socket and switch, because the heat they make is hard on all three.
Filters are cleaned, and the stainless is wiped with the grain. Part availability for this retired hood is confirmed before we quote. A written price comes first, with a 30-day warranty.
A dirty or unbalanced blower wheel, or a worn bearing. We clean the wheel and replace the motor if the bearing is rough. A rough bearing can be heard even at low speed.
The duct is probably restricted or the damper is stuck. A hood this large needs a duct sized for its airflow. Cleaning the duct can also help.
Wipe with the grain using a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive pads, which scratch the finish. Wipe dry afterward to prevent water spots.
Book in about a minute, or call the desk. Same-day windows inside the Loop on most days, next-day across the rest of Houston.
