Drain Valve Installation

In order to prevent damage during shipping, the drain valve assembly has not been

installed. If desired, the valve should be installed after the cabinet is in its final location.
To install the valve assembly, follow these steps:
1.

Lift the work surfaces out of the biosafety cabinet by lifting on the knobs at the front

of the work surface.

2.

Using a putty knife, remove and discard the stainless steel cover that is sealed over

the drain mounting holes. Scrape out remaining sealant that is around the holes.

3.

Apply a light coating of silicone sealant (user supplied) to the mounting surface of

the drain assembly. Attach the drain assembly under the bottom of the cabinet as

shown in Figure 3-4. Wipe off any excess sealant from the cabinet bottom. Ensure
that the center drain hole is unobstructed.

4.

Make sure the drain valve is in the closed position.

5.

Reinstall the work surfaces.

6.

Allow the silicone sealant to cure for at least eight hours before exposing it to liquid.

NOTE: The drain valve assembly attaches to the underside of the cabinet bottom.


Apply a light coat of silicone sealant to this surface

of the connector, aligning the three holes in the

connector with the three holes in the biosafety

cabinet liner.
