Protector Premier Laboratory Hoods

Protector Premier Laboratory Hoods incorporate a sleek interior with a  molded one-piece fiberglass liner, the signature feature of Labconco’s  leading line of fume hoods since 1961. The one-piece liner of  specially-formulated, fiberglass-reinforced polyester offers corrosion  and fire resistance and easy clean up. Without seams, the interior has  fewer points of deterioration for longer life.

These hoods are suitable for providing personal protection needed for  general chemistry applications involving fumes and vapors. They meet the  SEFA-1 standard of a low velocity, high performance hood and may be  safely operated as low as 60 fpm. Choose from hoods designed to be used  with a remotely-located blower or hoods that include a built-in blower —  the only high performance hood with built-in blower available anywhere.  Explosion-proof hoods with built-in blower are available for  laboratories with potentially explosive/flammable atmospheres (Class 1  Div I or II).

Features (All Models)

• By-pass airflow design
• Eco-Foil™ Air Foil reduces energy consumption by 7-10% compared to  flat air foils while its aerodynamic curve allows air to sweep the work  surface for maximum containment. Clean-Sweep™ openings pull inflow air  from under the air foil forcing air into non-turbulent air streams.
• Cord-Keeper™ Slots on left and right side of air foil keep electrical cords out of the way
• Glacier white powder-coated steel exterior is durable and corrosion-resistant
• One-piece molded fiberglass liner and pre-set baffle(s) with flame spread less than 25 per ASTM E84
• Tempered safety glass vertical-rising sash with powder-coated sash handle and Clean-Sweep™ openings
• 37.5" (95.3 cm) high sightline from the work surface to header panel allows taller users comfortable viewing while standing
• Removable front and side panels, and front service access panels for access to plumbing and electrical wiring
• Pre-wired T8 fluorescent lighting with vapor-proof design and  ADA-compliant light and blower switches (not on models with built-in  explosion proof blower)
• On models for use with remote blower, 12.8" ID exhaust connection(s)
