Chapter 3: Getting Started
Install the Protector
Radioisotope Hood on a
Supporting Structure and
Hardboard Support
The Protector Radioisotope Hood is
heavy! Use caution when lifting or
moving the unit.
When installing the Protector Radioisotope Fume Hood
onto the hardboard support or benchtop, ensure that the
structure can safely support the combined weight of the
fume hood and any related equipment. The support
should be at least as wide as the hood to properly
support it. The 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 following are instructions for mounting a cross
support, and installing the hardboard support:
1. Level the base cabinets and the hardboard
support surface. Hardboard surface should
be placed flush with the back of the fume
hood as shown in Figure 3-2.
2. Scribe a line on the wall or back of the base
cabinet to locate the cross support under the
hardboard surface.
3. Mount the support by attaching it to the wall
or base cabinet.

WARNING: It is important to support the rear of
the work surface and fume hood. The cross support
provides support for the bottom of the work surface.
Install the cross support after the base cabinets and
work surface are leveled and before installing the
hood.
