Expand Your Reach with IAP Extension Booms

How Extension Booms can help

When it comes to capturing fumes in tough-to-reach places, sometimes a standard fume extraction arm just isn’t enough. That’s where our IAP Extension Booms come in. Built to help you cover more ground—literally—they’re designed for spaces where flexibility and reach really matter, like shops with overhead cranes, wide work bays, or multiple workstations.

More Reach, Less Hassle

Our Extension Booms come in both 6" and 8" diameters and are available in 10' and 20' lengths. They’re built from heavy-duty, powder-coated steel, so they’re as tough as the environments they’re built for. These booms let you move your fume extraction arm exactly where it’s needed—whether that’s across the room or around an obstacle—without compromising airflow or performance.


Smooth, Controlled Movement

What really makes these booms shine is the dual pivot system. You get one pivot at the wall bracket and another at the horizontal boom, giving you a wide range of motion. Add in the adjustable friction joints, and you’ve got a setup that moves easily when you want it to and stays put when you don’t. That’s better control and less frustration.


Plays Well With Others

Already have one of our IAP fume extraction arms? Great—these booms are designed to work right alongside them. The connection is seamless, and the top outlet gives you the option to hook into existing ductwork or even add a fan if your setup calls for it. We built these to be flexible—literally and figuratively.


Tough Enough for the Job

We know these need to stand up to real-world use, so everything from the steel tubing to the flame-retardant flexible hose joints is built for durability. Plus, the adjustment points are all external, which means easier access if you ever need to tweak or tighten anything down the line.


Bottom Line

If you need more reach and better flexibility from your fume extraction setup, IAP Extension Booms are a solid upgrade. They're strong, smooth to operate, easy to integrate, and built to handle demanding environments. Whether you’re updating an old system or building something from scratch, these are a smart, practical addition.
