JohnDow EV-5100 Portable Exhaust Extraction System

Exhaust fumes in an enclosed shop aren't just uncomfortable - they're a serious health hazard. The JohnDow EV-5100 portable exhaust extraction system gives you a fast, flexible way to capture vehicle exhaust at the source and push it up to 30 feet away from your work area. Your team stays safe, your shop stays compliant, and you're not locked into a fixed extraction point on the wall or ceiling.

The 3/4-HP motor moves 330 CFM of airflow, which is enough to handle standard vehicle exhaust without straining. The fan rides inside a roto-molded polyethylene case - tough enough to take bumps around the shop floor. Roll it up behind any vehicle with the mobile base, set your height with the quick-release cam lock, and you're capturing fumes before they have a chance to spread. When the job's done, the 30-foot discharge hose stores right on the unit.

One detail worth knowing: the EV-5100 handles fume temperatures up to 300°F, so it's not limited to cold-start situations. Diesel warmups, extended idle diagnostics, emissions testing - this portable vehicle exhaust extraction system handles the heat without issue. And if you're working on a dual-exhaust vehicle, an optional Y hose adapter keeps both pipes covered with one unit.

Free shipping to the lower 48 means no freight surprises. When you buy from Garage Supply Guys, you're getting direct access to a team that stocks parts and can answer application questions before and after the sale - not just a checkout button.

Installation & Setup

Setup is straightforward. The EV-5100 runs on standard 110V shop power - no dedicated circuit, no hard-wiring, no electrician needed. Plug it into any standard outlet, roll the unit into position behind the vehicle with the mobile base, and connect the discharge hose to route fumes away from the work area.

Height adjustment is handled by the quick-release, spring-loaded cam. Dial in the position to line up with the tailpipe, lock it, and you're set. The 86-lb unit is substantial but fully self-contained - no wall mounting, no ceiling track, no permanent installation required. That's the point: you move it where you need it, not the other way around.

When you're done, the 30-foot discharge hose stores neatly on the unit itself so it's not draped across the floor between uses.

Applications

Auto Service Shops

Roll behind any bay for oil changes, diagnostics, or emissions testing. One unit covers multiple bays without a fixed installation at each station.

Diesel and Fleet Service

Diesel warmups and extended idling push high fume volumes. The 300°F max temp rating means the EV-5100 handles diesel exhaust heat without degrading the hose or fan.

Emissions Testing Lanes

Vehicles idle through the full test cycle. Capture fumes continuously with the 330 CFM airflow and exhaust them 30 feet away from the testing area and staff.

Small Shops and Independents

When a wall-mounted extraction system isn't practical or in-budget, this portable exhaust extraction system gives you a code-compliant solution you can set up the same day it arrives.
