    ® Congratulations on your purchase of a Labconco Precise Controlled ® Atmosphere Glove Box or Precise Basic Glove Box manufactured with a one-piece molded polyethylene liner. The Precise Controlled Atmosphere Glove Box comes equipped with six valves, pressure relief valve and two chamber pressure gauge indicators, which are omitted from the Precise Basic Glove Box.

  • Page 6: Chapter 2: Prerequisites

    Before you install the glove box, you need to prepare your site for installation. You must be certain that the area is level and of solid construction. In addition, a dedicated source of electrical power should be located near the installation site to power the glove box. Additionally, the glove box should be strategically placed in the lab to provide efficient workflow and prevent operator interference from normal traffic flow.

  • Page 7: Support, Vibration & Preventive Requirements

    A bench or stand that is rigidly mounted to the floor or fixed to the wall, but not both, may be appropriate. 35" to 40" (889mm to 1,016mm) is typical for standing height (Labconco stands offered in Chapter 7 vary from 33" to 40" or 838mm to 1,016mm).
