Safe and Code-Compliant Storage of Flammable Liquids
The Justrite Sure-Grip Ex Under Fume Hood Safety Cabinet with 1 Self Close Door, Right Hinge (model 882420) is designed for the safe and code-compliant storage and venting of solvents and flammable liquids in laboratory environments within colleges, universities, pharmaceutical R&D settings, and more. This yellow cabinet can store 15 gal (57 l) of flammable liquids and fits under chemical fume hoods, benches, and counters.
Ergonomic Design for Easy Access
The cabinet features an ergonomic design with a 4-in high by 3-in deep (102-mm high by 77-mm deep) toe kick, which makes it easier for chemical handlers to maintain an appropriate distance. Its exterior dimensions are 35.75 in H x 24 in W x 21.625 in D (908 mm H x 610 mm W x 549 mm D); its 35.75-in (908-mm) height includes leg levelers installed and extended 5/8-in (15.9-mm).
Sturdy Construction for Fire Resistance
This model is constructed with a sturdy 18-gauge (1-mm) thick steel double-wall, with 1.5 in (38 mm) of insulating air space for fire resistance. The fully welded, not riveted, construction holds the squareness of the unit for a longer life and offers greater protection in a fire since air gaps are reduced.
High-Performance, Self-Closing Door
The high-performance, self-closing door with a right hinge closure can open to a full 180 degrees. A patented, concealed self-close mechanism provides obstruction-free access to shelf space. Continuous piano hinges ensure the door closes smoothly every time.
Safety Features and Benefits
When used properly as designed, safety cabinets with self-closing doors shut automatically in case of a fire. The self-closing doors, under tension, are held open by using fusible links. Under fire conditions, when the ambient temperature reaches 165 F (74 C), the links melt and the safety cabinet’s self-closing doors automatically swing shut.
