Installation Instructions
Base Unit Assembly
for Bench Type Fume Hoods
Preparation
1.
Locate and mark hood and base cabinet locations making sure area is clear of obstructions
and debris. Be sure all conduit, duct work and service lines have been run and are ready for
final connections.
Kemstruts and other pipe or worksurface supports should be installed before the
base cabinets are moved into place.
2.
Locate the high point of the floor within the area that the base cabinets will be installed.
Installation
3.
Starting with the base cabinet on the highest point on the floor, move the first cabinet into
location as shown in Detail 1 and according to project drawings.
4.
Using a four foot carpenters level, level the cabinet; side-to-side, front-to-back, and diagonally.
(see Detail 2S and 2W to the left for leveling methods)
Blocks or cleats may be used to fasten cabinets to floor or walls to insure cabinets
don’t move during installation.
5.
Move the next cabinet into position and clamp it to the first cabinet, making sure that the
cabinet faces and tops are flush.
6.
Level the cabinet, as in step 4.
7.
Using four (4) screws, as listed below, fasten the two cabinets together at all four corners of
the end panels.
Use #8 x 1-1/4" Flat Head screws for wood cabinets.
Use #8 x 1/2” Truss Head Sheet Metal screws for steel cabinets.
(pilot holes must be drilled in the steel cabinets before driving screws)
8.
Complete hood installation and all mechanical connections before installing any required
fillers or scribes.
It is recommended that the polyethylene liner be removed from Acid Storage
cabinets during installation to allow fastening to adjacent cabinets and ease
plumbing connections. Be sure to replace when installation is complete.
