Chapter 3: Getting Started
Install the Protector
Perchloric Acid Hood on a
Supporting Structure and
Hardboard Support
The Protector Perchloric Acid Hood is
heavy! Use caution when lifting or
moving the unit.
When installing the Protector Perchloric Acid Fume
Hood onto the hardboard work surface or benchtop,
ensure that the structure can safely support the
combined weight of the fume hood and any related
equipment. The hardboard support surface should be at
least as wide as the hood to properly support it. The
hardboard support is mounted flush with the back
of the fume hood: this will provide the correct
spacing under the air foil for proper bypass airflow.
The hardboard support surface has a cutout to miss
the drain trough.
The following are instructions for mounting a cross
support, and installing the hardboard support:
1. Level the base cabinets and the work
surface. Work surface should be placed
flush with the back of the fume hood as
shown in Figure 3-2. The hardboard work
surface has a cutout to allow for clearance
around the rear washdown drain trough.
2. Scribe a line on the wall or back of the base
cabinet to locate the support under the work
surface.
3. Mount the support by attaching it to the wall
or base cabinet.

WARNING: It is important to support the rear of
the hood. The cross support provides support for
the bottom of the hardboard support. Install the
cross supports after the base cabinets and hardboard
top are leveled before.
