Work Surface Specifications 

The work surface should be smooth, rigid, and durable, such as a chemically 
resistant epoxy resin or stainless steel.  The surface should be non-porous and 
resistant to the acids, solvents and chemicals used in conjunction with the 
XPert or XVS enclosure.  The work surface should also contain a dished 
recessed area for containing primary spills. 

Work Surface and Vented Enclosure Installation 

1.  Level the base cabinets and the work surface.  Work surface should be 

placed flush with the front of the base cabinet as shown in Figure 3-1. 

2.  Position the work surface in its intended location and with the front of 

the work surface, (wide flange or spill trough), towards you. 

3.  Secure the work surface to the base cabinet with a structural adhesive 

or silicone sealant. 

4.  Insert the supplied mounting screws in the four holes for epoxy work 

surfaces.  For stainless steel work surfaces use #10-24 x 3/8" hex 
machine screws. (Labconco P/N 1885806).  Allow a minimum of 1/8" 
clearance under the head of the screw for positioning the enclosure. 

5.  Place the enclosure on the work surface and slide the rear flange and 

front air foil flanges under the mounting screw heads. 

6.  Tighten the four screws to complete the installation.
