4. Main Chamber Static Pressure Gauge provides an indication of HEPA
filter condition inside the glove box. Typically, HEPA filters should be
replaced when the static pressure gauge reading has increased two-fold.
The gauge can be changed to positive pressure for clean air glove box
operations by reversing the hose on the gauge to the positive pressure
connection. Positive Pressure Conversion Kit is sold separately (see
Chapter 7).
5. Glove Ports are 8" nominal size and molded into the main glove box
shell. The double grooves provide two points of restraint for safe
changing of the gloves.
6. Neoprene Gloves are supplied with the glove box, .015" thick, 30" long,
one pair, size 9 ¾. See Appendix A for replacement parts and Chapter 7
for a description.
7. Removable Framed Glass Window is 1/4" thick laminated safety glass
and is reinforced with powder-coated steel frame. The removable glass
window frame provides access to the interior for loading large apparatus.
When removed, the window opening is 26.4" wide x 12.5" high (670mm
wide x 317mm high). The framed glass window is sealed with a one-
piece molded neoprene gasket. See Chapter 7 for optional Acrylic
Viewing Window with Frame.
8. Fluorescent Lamp provides 30-40 foot candles of interior illumination
on the work surface. The lamp may be replaced from outside the glove
box. See Chapters 6 and 7 for replacement.

switches for the light, blower, duplex outlet, and speed control. The
speed control can vary the impeller speed from 13 to 100 CFM.
10. Work Surface is black chemically-resistant phenolic core and sealed to
the glove box floor. The black surface aids proper cleaning and provides
high visibility of powders. Phenolic core has superior chemical resistance
and stain resistance.

innermost outlet of the duplex labeled “AUX” is switch operated on the
front control panel. An accessory Electrical Power Strip can be

with a quick operating latch for user comfort. The counterweighted doors
swing up to save space. IMPORTANT: Transfer chamber must have
an optional High Vacuum Sleeve if the chamber is converted for
vacuum operation. See Chapter 7.
