Chapter 3: Getting Started
The exhaust connection on your hood
has been designed for 8" nominal pipe
(8.62" O.D.) to allow for minimum static
pressure loss with proper transport
velocities away from the hood. It is
acceptable to combine the air from two
back to back hoods with a 12" x 8" x 8"
dual exhaust adapter that would
basically have two 8" nominal exhaust
inlets and one 12" (12.00" O.D.)
nominal exhaust outlet. See Appendix
D: Protector ClassMate Accessories for
dual exhaust adapter. Refer to exhaust
requirements in Chapter 3 Fume Hood
Components on exhaust volumes for
your model to properly size the blower.
Consult Labconco Sales Engineering
Team should you require help sizing
your blower for the exhaust volume and
total system static pressure loss.
Connecting the Electrical
Supply Source to the
Protector ClassMate Fume
Hood
Prior to connecting any electrical wiring to the fume
hood structure, refer to the hood identification plate for
the proper electrical characteristics of your specific
model.
WARNING: The building electrical supply
system for Protector ClassMate Hoods should
include overload protection. A switch or
