Installing the Hood on a Supporting
Structure and Work Surface
The Protector Hood is heavy! Use caution when lifting or
moving the unit.
La Hotte Protecteur est lourd! Prudence en soulevant ou en
déplaçant l'objet.
When installing the Protector
Fume Hood onto a chemically-
resistant work surface or
benchtop, ensure that the
structure can safely support the
combined weight of the fume
hood and any related equipment.
The work surface should be at
least as wide as the hood to
properly support it.
Position
front edge of fume hood 1.7"
past front edge of worksurface.
Lower base cabinets or
casework is placed flush with
front edge of worksurface as
shown in Figure 3-2.
The work surface should be
smooth and durable, such as a
chemically-resistant epoxy resin.
The surface should be nonporous
and resistant to the acids,
solvents, and chemicals used in
conjunction with the Protector
Fume Hood. The work surface
should also contain a dished
recessed area for containing
primary spills.
NOTE: Labconco recommends
supports by others for
underneath the work surface
at time of installation.
