CAUTION: Natural gas should be used only in
the service fixture that has been pre-plumbed with brass tubing. Sulfur content of the gas could cause deterioration of standard copper
supply lines.
Sealing the Fiberglass 30
Hood to the Work Surface
When the hood has been set in place, ducted, wired, and plumbed, it should be sealed at the work surface to prevent spilled materials from collecting under the walls of the hood. Materials such as silicone sealants are recommended to seal the hood structure.
Certifying the Fiberglass 30
Fume Hood
The combination of your laboratory hood, exhaust ductwork, and exhaust blower give you the flexibility to change the airflow at the sash opening of your hood.
To determine the actual face velocity at the sash opening, airflow velocity readings will need to be taken. This should be done across the sash opening of the hood in accordance with the Industrial Ventilation
Manual section on laboratory hoods. (See Appendix D
– Reference) Labconco recommends an average face velocity at the sash opening of 80 to 100 feet per minute. Consult Chapter 2 for proper airflow volumes for your particular model.
The Fiberglass 30 Fume Hood has been tested per
ASHRAE 110-1995. All hoods achieve an “as manufactured rating” of less than 0.10 part per million
(ppm) at 4 liters per minute (lpm); AM<0.10 (consult
Labconco for individual fume hood ratings). For “field use” ASHRAE testing by a certified technician, contact
Labconco Customer Service.

The use of heat-generating equipment in this hood without the exhaust system operating properly can cause damage to the hood.
The Fiberglass 30 Laboratory
Hood should be certified by a qualified certification technician before it is initially used. The hood should be re-certified whenever it is relocated, serviced or at least annually thereafter.
Ensure that the unit is connected to electrical service in accordance with local and national electrical codes. Failure to do so may create a fire or electrical hazard. Do not remove or service any electrical components without first disconnecting the hood from electrical service.
Proper operation of the fume hood depends largely upon the hood’s location and the operator’s work habits. Consult the Reference
Manual in Appendix D.

Operating the Vertical-
Rising Sash
Because of the Fiberglass 30 Hood counterbalanced sash mechanism, it will take only a few pounds of force to move the sash up or down, and you can operate the sash smoothly with one or two hands positioned any where along the handle. The vertical-rising sash may be raised to a maximum 20" operating height. The airflow requirements should be sized for the 20" operating height.
Product Service 1-800-522-7658

Chapter 5: Using Your Fiberglass 30 Fume Hood
Operating the Blower
Your Fiberglass 30 Fume Hood utilizes a remote style blower or integral blower, which can be activated by turning the blower switch to “ON.” You can validate the hood performance by watching smoke drawn into the hood face opening. Explosion-proof models do not have a switch or wiring as this is field installed.
Operating the Lights
Your Fiberglass 30 Fume Hood is equipped with a factory-wired incandescent light to illuminate the hood interior. Simply turn the light switch to “ON” to operate. Explosion-proof models do not have a light.
Working in your Fiberglass
30 Fume Hood
Planning
• Thoroughly understand procedures and equipment required before beginning work.
• Arrange for minimal disruptions, such as room traffic or entry into the room while the hood is in use.
Start-up
• Turn on incandescent light and hood blower.
• Slowly raise the sash.
• Check the baffle air slots for obstructions.
• Allow the hood to operate unobstructed for 5 minutes.
• Wear a long sleeved lab coat and rubber gloves.
Use protective eyewear. Wear a protective mask if appropriate.
Loading Materials and Equipment
• Only load the materials required for the procedure. Do not overload the hood.
• Do not obstruct the front air foil, or rear baffle slots.
• Large objects should not be placed close together and spaced above the work surface to permit airflow to sweep under the equipment.
28
Product Service 1-800-522-7658
Chapter 5: Using Your Fiberglass 30 Fume Hood
• After loading the hood, wait one minute to purge airborne contaminants from the work area.
Work Techniques
• Keep all materials at least 6 inches inside of the sash, and perform all contaminated operations as far to the rear of the work area as possible.
• Segregate all clean and contaminated materials in the work area.
• Avoid using techniques or procedures that disrupt the airflow patterns of the hood.
Final Purging
• Upon completion of work, the hood should be allowed to operate for two to three minutes undisturbed, to purge airborne contaminants from the work area before shutting down blower.
Unloading Materials and Equipment
• Objects in contact with contaminated material should be surface decontaminated before removal from the hood.
• All open trays or containers should be covered before being removed from the hood.
Shutdown
• Turn off the incandescent light and hood blower, and then close the sash.

Now that you have an understanding of how to work in the fume hood, we will review the suggested maintenance schedule and the common service operations necessary to maintain your fume hood for peak performance.
!
Only trained and experienced certification technicians should perform some of the service operations after the fume hood has been properly decontaminated. DO
NOT attempt to perform these operations if you are not properly trained. The wrench icon precedes the service operations that require qualified technicians.

Chapter 6: Maintaining Your Fiberglass 30 Fume Hood
Routine Maintenance
Schedule
Weekly
• Using ordinary dish soap to clean the surface inside of the fume hood, and the work surface.
• Using an appropriate glass cleaner, clean the sash and all glass surfaces.
• Operate the fume hood blower, noting the airflow velocity through the hood using a source of visible smoke.
Monthly (or more often as required)
• Determine the actual face velocity through the sash opening of the hood where the average reading should be at the specified velocity. (Use calibrated thermal anemometer or other approved apparatus).
• Using a damp cloth, clean the exterior surfaces of the hood, particularly the front of the hood, to remove any accumulated dust.
• Check all service valves, if so equipped, for proper operation.
• The hood baffles should be checked for blockages behind them to ensure that the hood is maintaining proper airflow.
• All weekly activities.
Annually
• Have the fume hood recertified by a qualified certification technician. See Certifying the
Fiberglass 30 Fume Hood in Chapter 3.
• All monthly activities.
Biannually
• The sash assembly should be checked to ensure proper operation and to make sure there are no signs of abnormal wear on the sash pulleys, cables and clamps.
