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 XStream 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.
• Seal the Protector XStream Hood to the work surface.
• Arrange certification of your Protector XStream 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 XStream 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 .
