Connecting the Biosafety Cabinet to Utility
Service Lines
Note: Some models have a solenoid valve connected to the service valve on
the right side, rear position. The solenoid prevents gas from flowing to the
service valve when the unit blower is off. It is the only service valve position
that can be fitted with a solenoid valve. Connect the gas service to the
solenoid valve.
The service lines (if any) should be connected to the tube fitting(s) on the
outside of the liner wall as shown in Figure 3-1. To install the tubing, follow
these steps:
1. Ensure that the tubing is ¼ inch O.D., soft metal, and that the end has
been completely deburred.
2. Route the tubing from the rear of the cabinet, ensuring that it will line up
with the slot in the back of the side panel. The slot is located from 8 ¾ to
11 ¼ inches (222 to 288 mm) from the bottom of the cabinet.
Chapter 3: Getting Started
Note: Make sure that the tube routing will not contact any electrical wires.
DO NOT loop service line tubing within the side panels of the cabinet.
3. Make sure that the nut on the tube fitting is loose, but do not remove it.
Look inside the fitting to make sure the tube ferrule is there.
4. Push the tube into the fitting until it is properly seated. The tube will go
approximately ¾ inch (19 mm) into the fitting.
5. Tighten the tube fitting nut hand tight and then, using a 7/16-inch wrench,
tighten it at least ¾ turn more.
6. Close the service valve in the biosafety cabinet and then slowly open the
shutoff valve on the service valve. Test all fittings for leakage. Tighten
the tube nut slightly if needed.

Optional VentusTM Canopy Exhaust Connection
Certain applications such as working with odorous products or volatile toxic
materials will require the connection of the biosafety cabinet to an exhaust
system.
Note: The canopy connection, also referred to as a thimble or air gap
connection, allows single or multiple biohazard cabinets to be connected to
an exhaust system. During operation, the exhaust system draws all of the
cabinet’s exhaust air, plus a volume of room air (through the vent in the
canopy) into the exhaust duct. Canopy connections function as a “shock
absorber” allowing the system to function properly during changes in room
air pressure.
For information on selecting a canopy connection, go to Appendix D:
Accessories.
Note: If the research involves the use of toxic compounds or volatile
materials, contact the facility’s safety officer or Labconco to ensure that the
biosafety cabinet and its exhaust system are compatible with the materials
you will be working with.

Optional Vacu-PassTM Cord & Cable Portal Use
Note: There must be enough clearance to pass the cord or cable between the
Logic+’s exterior dress panel and any obstruction.
Note: Some Vacu-Pass components and the cord or cable passing through it
may become contaminated during use of the cabinet. Ensure all potentially
contaminated components are surface decontaminated before handling or
removal from the cabinet.
1. Remove the grommet from the liner side wall. Remove the solid sealing
plug from the body of the portal by either pressing it through from the
outside, or by carefully inserting a spatula or similar device between the
sealing plug and the body of the portal, and prying the plug out.
2. Pass the cord or cable through the body of the portal, and then through
one of the plugs that has been cut for cord or cable use, then through the
grommet, as shown in Figure 3-2.
Chapter 3: Getting Started
Note: select a plug with a hole that is slightly smaller than the cord or cable,
to create a proper seal. This will also help minimize movement of the cord or
cable if it is accidentally pulled during use.
Figure 3-2
3. Position the cord or cable as it will be used in the cabinet, and then push
the plug back into the body of the portal until it seats in the portal.
Reinstall the grommet.

Drain Valve Installation
In order to prevent damage during shipping, the drain valve assembly has not
been installed. If desired, the valve should be installed after the cabinet is in
its final location.
To install the valve assembly, follow these steps:
Note: The work surface is heavy. Use caution when handling it.
4. Lift the work surface out of the biosafety cabinet by lifting on the knobs
at the front of the work surface. Steady the work surface while pulling it
straight out the front of the cabinet.
5. Using a putty knife, remove and discard the stainless steel cover that is
sealed over the drain mounting holes. Scrape out remaining sealant that is
around the holes.
6. Apply a light coating of silicone sealant (user supplied) to the mounting
surface of the drain assembly. Attach the drain assembly under the
bottom of the cabinet as shown in Figure 3-3. Wipe off any excess sealant
from the cabinet bottom. Ensure that the center drain hole is unobstructed.
7. Make sure the drain valve is in the closed position.
8. Reinstall the work surface.
9. Allow the silicone sealant to cure for at least eight hours before exposing
it to liquid.
NOTE: The drain valve assembly
attaches to the underside of the cabinet
bottom.
Apply a light coat of silicone sealant to
this surface of the connector, aligning the
three holes in the connector with the three
holes in the biosafety cabinet liner.

user-supplied circulator with appropriate pipe sealant or PTFE tape.
install both tubing lengths into the circulator to complete the water
circulator loop.
circulator should have a minimum flow rate of 0.5 GPM (1.9 LPM).
In all cases, the temperature of the circulator will not equal the
temperature of samples on the Temp-Zone. Factors such as the
sample vessels, sample sizes, aluminum tube racks, and length of
tubing connecting the circulator to the Temp-Zone can influence the
sample temperature. Circulator settings to hold heated incubator
sample temperatures may require 0.3-2.0°C higher temperatures than
the desired sample temperature. Furthermore, circulator settings to
maintain chilled refrigerated samples may require 0.3-3.0°C colder
temperatures than the desired sample temperature. Experimentation is
necessary to achieve proper sample temperatures.
