The 8’ Labconco Protector Laboratory Fume Hood is expertly designed to meet the diverse needs of laboratory scientists. By effectively containing toxic, noxious, or other harmful materials, it ensures a safe and controlled work environment when properly installed. Its bypass airflow system maintains a stable hood face velocity, even as the sash closes, enhancing safety and efficiency.
The innovative design diverts airflow behind the front panel and under the air foil, minimizing fluctuations in face velocity during sash adjustments. This ensures consistent protection for users handling hazardous substances. Additionally, the fully featured bypass hood incorporates a baffle and air foil, further optimizing airflow and containment.
Engineered with safety and visibility in mind, the Labconco Protector Fume Hood offers maximum clarity for laboratory work while ensuring reliable containment. Its thoughtful design combines advanced features that enhance both performance and user experience, making it a dependable choice for laboratory safety.
The vertical-rising sash can be raised to a maximum operating height of 28 inches, ensuring flexibility for various tasks. Airflow requirements should match the 28-inch operating height for optimal performance. However, when using sash stops, airflow demands can be reduced by approximately 40% at 18 inches or 50% at 15 inches, improving energy efficiency.
This hood features 12-inch (12.75-inch OD pipe) exhaust connections designed to minimize static pressure loss while maintaining effective transport velocity through the exhaust system. This design enhances overall airflow efficiency and ensures reliable operation. Additionally, the hood provides a generous interior work depth and an interior height of 48 inches. This creates ample space for various laboratory applications.
Energy-efficient fluorescent lighting, mounted behind a laminated safety glass shield at the top of the hood, ensures bright and safe illumination. The factory-wired, instant-start T8 lighting is easily serviceable from outside the hood cavity, reducing maintenance complexity. Furthermore, low-mounted, factory-wired light and blower switches are ADA-compliant, enhancing accessibility and ease of use.
The Clean-Sweep Air Foil promotes optimal airflow across the work surface, ensuring maximum containment of harmful substances. Streamlined corner posts provide excellent visibility and allow for the flexibility to add services after installation, making this hood a versatile and efficient choice for laboratory environments.
This Labconco 8’ Protector Laboratory Hood is used and reconditioned. Our technicians inspect all fume hoods to make sure that the baffles are present and intact, the interior lights are functioning, and that the sash is intact and runs smoothly on the tracks along with the counterweights.
Please note that we do not provide blower motors with fume hood sales. For more information on blower motor selection please feel free to call or email us; we recommend speaking with an HVAC specialist regarding your particular motor needs.
