IF ENCLOSURE WAS DAMAGED IN TRANSIT, YOU 
MUST FILE A CLAIM DIRECTLY WITH THE FREIGHT 
CARRIER.  LABCONCO CORPORATION AND ITS 
DEALERS ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR SHIPPING 
DAMAGES. 

Do not discard the packing material until you have checked all of the 
components and tested the glove box. 

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 entire 
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.  Labconco 
base stands from Chapter 7 may be adjusted in height from 33"-40" (838mm-
1016mm). 

Connecting the Exhaust to the Pressure Relief 
Valve (If Applicable) 

 

WARNING:  The weight of the pressure relief 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. 

 

 
As stated in Chapter 2, the main chamber pressure relief valve is exhausted 
back into the room unless an optional vent kit is installed.  Figure B-1 in 
Appendix B shows the location of the pressure relief valve without any 
optional vent kits.  Labconco provides pressure relief exhaust kits, which 
exhaust to the outside.  HEPA and/or carbon filtered exhaust kits are also 
available.  The HEPA and/or carbon filtered pressure relief exhaust kits also 
provide thimble duct connections for exhausting the pressure relief valve to 
the outside.
