Labconco Protector XVS Ventilation Station
A 2 foot fume hood with exceptional visibility and access
Deep 24 inch interior
By-pass airflow design which directs airflow away from the operator’s breathing zone
Tempered safety glass front, sides and sash
90 day warranty
The Labconco Protector XVS ventilation station makes an ideal light duty work station or classroom workstation with its deep workspace and glass tops and sides. The working opening is an expansive 14 inches and the complete front glass panel raises up for easy access to the work area for equipment setup and installation. Two ports in the back allow for wiring and other connections with the installed equipment. The tempered safety glass panels offer improved visibility and chemical resistance over cheaper plastic options. Featuring a by-pass airflow design, the upper containment sash foil bleeds air into the enclosure to direction concentrations of contaminants away from the operator’s breathing zone and a pivoting rear baffle with perforation zones promotes horizontal laminar airflow to maximize containment. The Protector XVS can either be vented to an external facility venting system or through a standalone filter/blower accessory such as Labconco’s Filtermate portable exhauster.

The station is sloped in the front facilitating better visibility of the work area and improving ergonomics. Interior dimensions at the base are 23 inches wide by 24 inches deep by 39 inches high. The Protector XVS station complies with SEFA 8, ANSI Z9.5, SEFA 1 and modified ASHRAE 110.
Most of our equipment
is used and reconditioned. Our technicians inspect all hoods to make sure that the baffles are present and intact, the interior lights are functioning, and that the sash is intact and runs smoothly on the tracks along with the counterweights. We can also provide information on the fixtures installed on each hood.
The photos above are representative. Please bear in mind that the equipment shown is currently in storage in our warehouse and that in addition to testing each machine we will clean all the equipment thoroughly prior to shipment. We often have multiple units of each model in stock and sometimes we're unable to feature photos of every single unit. At your request, we can provide photos of the equipment in your order after it has been tested and cleaned.
