Congratulations on your purchase of a Labconco Protector® XStream®
Laboratory Fume Hood. Your Protector Laboratory Fume Hood is designed to
protect you by providing superior containment while conserving energy at OSHA
approved “low flow” velocities as low as 50-60 feet per minute, with test limits as
low as 40 fpm. It is the result of Labconco’s commitment to developing a high
performance fume hood and more than 60 years experience in manufacturing
fume hoods.
The Labconco Protector XStream Fume Hood has been engineered to provide
maximum containment in a laboratory, and effectively contain toxic, noxious, or
other harmful materials when properly installed. The Protector XStream offers
many unique features to enhance safety, performance, and energy savings. To
take full advantage of them, please acquaint yourself with this manual and keep it
handy for future reference. If you are unfamiliar with how high performance
fume hoods operate, please review Chapter 4: High Performance Features and
Safety Precautions before you begin working in the fume hood. Even if you are
an experienced fume hood user, please review Chapter 5: Using Your Protector
XStream, which describes your Protector XStream Hood’s features so that you
can use the hood efficiently.
