Vinyl Glove Box Details
All Basic Vinyl Glove Boxes are supplied with the following:
- Latex gloves in size large (other sizes available on request*)
- Inlet ball valve
- Pressure relief system (removable for simple containment operations)
- Side door or optional airlock transfer chamber connection
- Aluminum support frame with padded base
- Internal 6-outlet power supply
- Two feed-thru adapters with rubber stopper (1.5″/3.8 cm diameter)
- Round entry port (20″/50.8 cm)
* The latex gloves are placed over a plastic cuff and then placed in the permanently attached sleeves and taped in place. This system provides a means of replacing damaged gloves. Additional glove ports can be ordered mounted in most positions if requested at the time of purchase.
Construction
The glove box front is made of 20 mil pressed polished clear vinyl with 40 mil vinyl bottom extending 2″ (51 mm) up on all sides. It is mounted on a 3/4″ (19 mm) plywood base covered with a 1/4″ (6 mm) foam pad and heavy vinyl. A 1″ (25 mm) aluminum tubular frame supports the glove box. All glove boxes come with a large equipment entry on the rear of the unit. This entrance consists of a 20″ (50 cm) entry cap that is taped in place after installing large equipment in the glove box.
- Glove ports, 10″ x 13″ oval opening (25 x 33 cm) on 19″ (48 cm) centers, are constructed of a special highly flexible vinyl frosted to prevent cracking and gas leakage at bend points.
- Two 1.5″ (38 mm) I.D. feed-thrus are attached for wiring, tubing, or cord input. (Additional feed-thrus may be ordered at the time of purchase.)
