Chapter 3: Getting Started
Should access to the hood plumbing fixture bodies be
required, remove the service access plate on the hood
front corner posts by loosening their individual screws.
(See item 11 Figure A-1, page 50 and page 51). The
valve body will now be fully exposed for any service
work that may be necessary. The service fixtures
supplied on your laboratory hood are designed for use
with the following services:
• Air
• Hot Water • Vacuum
• Cold Water • Natural Gas – See Caution Below
Certifying the Protector
Radioisotope Fume Hood
The combination of your laboratory hood, exhaust
ductwork, and exhaust blower gives you the flexibility
to change the airflow at the sash opening of your hood.
To determine the actual face velocity at the sash
opening, airflow velocity readings will need to be
taken. This should be done across the sash opening of
the hood in accordance with the Industrial Ventilation
Manual section on laboratory hoods. (See Appendix D
– Reference) Labconco recommends an average face
velocity at the sash opening of 80 to 100 feet per
minute. Consult Labconco Customer Service for proper
airflows for your particular model.
! WARNING: Contact Labconco Customer
Service before using any service other than
those listed above in these valves to assure full
compatibility.
!
CAUTION: Natural gas should be used only in
the service fixture that has been pre-plumbed
with brass tubing. Sulfur content of the gas
could cause deterioration of standard copper
supply lines.
