Now that the site for your laboratory fume hood is properly prepared, you are
ready to unpack, inspect, install, and certify your unit. Read this chapter to learn
how to:

• Unpack and move your Protector Hood.

• Set up the fume hood with the supporting structure and work surface.

• Connect to an exhaust system.

• Connect the electrical supply source.

• Connect the service lines.

• Sealing the Protector Hood to the work surface.

• Arrange certification of your Protector Hood.


Depending upon which model you are installing, you may need common
plumbing and electrical installation tools in addition to 5/16", 3/8", 7/16", and
1/2" wrenches, ratchets, sockets, a nut driver set, a flat-blade screwdriver, a
Phillips screwdriver, and a carpenter level to complete the instructions in the
chapter.

The Protector XLE Hood models weigh between 400 to 800 lbs.
(182-363 kg). The shipping skid allows for lifting with a
mechanical lift truck or floor jack. If you must lift the fume
hood manually, follow safe-lifting guidelines. Normally, the
fume hood can be slid off a hydraulic lift table and be placed
into position on top of the work surface.

Do not lift by the

front air foil and trough assembly.
