Safe Storage of Flammable Liquids in Laboratory Environments
Keeping bottles of chemicals in a fume hood is a safety risk. The Justrite Sure-Grip EX Under Fume Hood Safety Cabinet with Self Close Doors 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.
Key Features for Maximum Safety
This light neutral cabinet can store 31 gal (117 L) of flammable liquids and fits under chemical fume hoods, benches, and counters. It 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.
Sturdy Construction for Long-Lasting Protection
The cabinet 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.
Self-Closing Doors for Automatic Shut-Off in Case of Fire
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.
Added Security and Convenience
For added security, each cabinet comes with an innovative U-Loc handle that does not require manual rotation to engage the mandatory latch. Cabinets include a cylinder lock and key set, or you can choose to use your own padlock. Haz-Alert reflective warning labels that read “FLAMMABLE – KEEP FIRE AWAY” are highly visible under fire conditions or during power outages when illuminated with a flashlight.
