Drain Valve

2-8 1300 Series A2
The SmartPort is an optional feature on the 1300 Series A2, designed to
improve work area organization inside the biological safety cabinet. It is
designed to accommodate the routing of vacuum line tubing, line cords
and data cables from the interior of the cabinet to the exterior working
area, freeing up space inside the work area.
A 3 inch access port with an inner and outer solid rubber grommet is
located on both side walls of the cabinet. Soap bubble leak test should be
performed while the grommet is closed. Using a surgical scalpel, the user
may cut the inner and outer grommet along the pre-cut indentations,
cutting only what it needed to accommodate the tubing or cable. The
negative pressure air channel within the side walls ensures that no particles
escape into the lab.
At any time, new solid rubber grommets may be installed into the
SmartPort to provide a complete seal in the side walls. It is recommended
that new solid grommets be installed on the exterior side walls, prior to
decontaminating the cabinet. Two new solid grommets arre supplied with
the cabinet for this purpose, or kit # 1910112 (four grommets) can be
ordered.
After the unit has been installed, either on a stand or a workstation, the
drain valve should be installed. The drain valve itself is shipped in the
manual bag taped to the inside of the unit.
Locate the drain piping underneath the unit on the left side (see Fig 2-6).
Apply thread sealant sparingly to the threads.
Install the drain valve. Ensure the valve is in the closed position.
Be aware of the valve when moving the unit from the stand or
workstation.
