Installing the Glove Box on a Supporting
Structure and Work Surface
Exercise caution when lifting or moving the glove box.
When installing the glove box onto a work surface or benchtop, ensure that
the structure can safely support the combined weight of the glove box and
any related equipment. The work surface should be as wide as the glove box
to properly support it. The front of the glove box should be aligned with the
front of the work surface for optimal comfort. A height of 35"-40" (889mm-
1016mm) is appropriate for standing operation. Adjustable Height Base
Stands listed in Chapter 7 may be adjusted from 33"-40" (838mm-1016mm).
Connecting to the Exhaust System (If Applicable)
WARNING: The weight of any exhaust ductwork system
must be supported independently of the glove box
superstructure or damage may occur.
The exhaust system should be installed by a qualified
HVAC contractor.
The Precise HEPA-Filtered Glove Box has been manufactured to exhaust
into the laboratory in its standard configuration. To remove chemical fumes
and odors not trapped by the HEPA filter, the glove box can be exhausted to
the outside, or connected to an accessory FilterMate Portable Exhauster with
carbon filters (see Figure 3-2). See Chapter 7 for accessories including:
Thimble Exhaust Connection, FilterMate Portable Exhauster, Positive
Pressure Conversion Kit, Recirucation Kit, Hard Duct Connection.
Consult Labconco Customer Service if you require help sizing a remote
blower for the exhaust volume and the duct work system (static pressure loss
listed in Chapter 2).
To ensure compatibility, the selected exhaust duct material
should match the enclosure, procedures and chemical
applications.
