Giles Enterprises GVH-C 32 Inch Countertop Ventless Recirculating Hood for Electric Fryers, Griddles & Ovens, 393-491 CFM, Pre-Plumbed for Ansul R-102
Giles GVH-C — 32" Countertop Ventless Recirculating Hood
The Giles GVH-C is a 32-inch, Type-1 countertop ventless recirculating hood for locations where conventional ventilation hoods are not an option because of restrictions or cost. It works with a wide variety of small electric-only appliances — fryers, griddles, cook-tops, ovens, conveyor ovens and toasters — and its proven 3-stage air cleaning removes grease-laden vapor at 393–491 CFM with no ducting to the outside. Giles lists it to UL-YZCT (UL-YZCT-7 in Canada) in compliance with ANSI/UL-710B. The hood is factory pre-plumbed with piping, nozzles, detector link brackets, conduit and cable, ready for connection to the required, customer-supplied Ansul R-102 wet chemical fire suppression system. An optional interlocked 50 A appliance power receptacle helps minimize on-site electrical work, and durable stainless steel construction stands up to daily use.
Key Features of the GVH-C
A compact countertop hood that brings a range of electric cooking to spaces without ductwork.
3-Stage Air Cleaning
Recirculating baffle, electronic air cleaner and charcoal filter system designed to not require ducting to an outside vent.
Multi-Appliance Listing
Approved for small electric fryers, griddles, ranges, ovens, conveyor ovens and toasters within Giles' listing limits.
Pre-Plumbed for Ansul
Factory piping, nozzles, detector link brackets, conduit and cable ready for a customer-supplied Ansul R-102.
Exhaust Air Diverter
Directs cleaned air to the side and rear, allowing use in spaces with lower overhead clearance.
Safety Features
Anti-restart protection after power interruption, push-to-start power switch, and LED indicator status lights.
Optional 50 A Receptacle
Factory-installed interlocked NEMA 6-50R (1-phase) or NEMA 15-50R (3-phase) appliance receptacle.
Fire suppression not included: The GVH-C is pre-plumbed only; the required Ansul R-102 system, its field installation, final set-up and commissioning by an authorized Ansul distributor are at the customer's expense. The hood is approved for electrically heated appliances only (no gas), and Giles must approve a completed Hood Approval Letter (HAL) confirming local approvals and that the appliances are within the listing limits before accepting the order.
Ideal Applications
Countertop cooking wherever a ducted hood is restricted or too costly.
