Connecting the Service Lines to the
Protector XLE Fume Hood
The hoods with service fixtures have been plumbed from the valve to the hose
connector or gooseneck for your installation convenience. Supply tubing shall be
provided by the qualified installer. Tubing can enter the hood from above,
through the back, or through the work surface to make these connections to the
service fixtures.
NOTE: Inspect all fittings for leakage. Tighten the fittings
slightly if needed.
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 48 and 49) 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
!
CAUTION: Do not use oxygen with any standard
service fixture. Contact Labconco Customer
Service for oxygen fixture information.
! WARNING: Contact Labconco Customer
Service directly 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.
