After Installation Before Installation

The CRL Push-Through Glove System allows for the interchangeability between gloves, viewing windows, bag-outs, and plugs without losing enclosure containment or risking the spread of contamination. The two main components of the system are the enclosure ring, which mounts to the Glovebox wall and the support ring or accessory that creates a compression seal inside the enclosure ring.

Design Features:•An independent O-Ring under high compression is used to maintain a tight seal between the enclosure ring and support ring or accessory item.

•Machined groove in the enclosure ring interfaces with a rib on the supportring to secure the support ring and glove in place without the need for a locking ring.

• Molded plastic support ring compatible with any 15 to 30 mil commercial glove. • Stainless Steel enclosure rings available in clamp-in or weld-in configurations.

Basis of OperationThe CRL design utilizes an independent o-ring seal, under high compression to maintain the primary seal betweenthe enclosure ring (metallic ring), the glove support ring (plastic), and the glove as demonstrated below. The sealis established by forcing the glove sleeve through a serpentine path and securing it between the support ring andenclosure ring with an independent O-ring.

When installed, the seal is under high compression and securely held in position even without the use of a lockingring. Variations in glove thickness, resulting from the glove manufacturing process (dipping), are easily accommo-dated by o-ring compression and ensure a consistent high integrity seal is maintained with any 15 to 30 mil com-mercial glove.
