Note:
For double box systems, the two boxes need to be joined prior to performing the
following procedure. See the next procedure, “To assemble a double box system”.
To install the Glovebox system
1
See Glovebox layout drawing
.
The Glovebox system has lockable casters on each leg to facilitate its placement. Once in
place, the casters can be adjusted to lock the system in place.
2
Level the system by adjusting the leveling feet underneath each leg.
3
Place the Gas Purification module underneath the Large Antechamber.
4
Connect the Gas Purification module to the Glovebox. Match up the labels on the piping and
components to the labels on the Glovebox and the gas purification module. e.g., “1” connects
to “1”, “2” connects to “2”, “A” connects to “A”, etc.
5
Lock the Purifier Cart into place by adjusting the casters.
6
Locate and install the shelves inside the box at your preferred height. The shelves are
adjustable and can be relocated at any time. Fit the shelves into the box by sliding them
through the Antechamber. It is not necessary to remove the window.
7
Place the power strip in the box as desired. Connect the male plug to the female outlet, which
leads to the feed-through on the side of the box.
8
The oxygen analyzer requires that the small sampling pump be connected to the black tubing
connected to the bulkhead fitting on the inside of the Antechamber wall. The batching pump
should also be plugged into the electrical power strip inside the Glovebox.
9
Attach the purge valve to the corresponding KF-40 flange located on the top of the
Glovebox. The purge valve and flange are labeled like the removed plumbing. For the auto-
purge version, locate and connect the electrical and pneumatic lines.
10
Install the gloves. Gloves are placed inside the box through each glove port. The cuff end of
the glove is stretched over the glove port until the lip fits into the last groove. Two O-rings
are then stretched over each glove and placed in the outer two grooves.
To assemble a double box system
1
Remove the window from one box. See
on page
2
Press both boxes together and make them level on the inside by adjusting the leveling feet.
After the boxes are level, lock the leveling feet into position.
3
Press both boxes apart far enough so that you can fit between them. Apply a bead of DAP
latex sealant, approximately 1/8"-3/16" wide continuously around the flange of one box in
the area between the inside of the box and the bolt holes.
4
Press the boxes together and put in the four corner bolts. After the four are in and hand tight,
insert the rest of the hardware and tighten all bolts. Excess sealant will squeeze out from
between the flanges.
5
Clean the excess sealant; it is easier to do this when the sealant is slightly dry. Clean the
entire interior of the Glovebox.
