Description
Drench Hose is a flexible, handheld safety device designed to provide a targeted stream or spray of water for rinsing specific areas of the body, face, or clothing after exposure to hazardous materials or heat. It serves as a secondary or supplementary decontamination tool, used primarily for targeted flushing where a full safety shower or fixed eyewash station may be impractical or less efficient.
Features:
- Flexible Handheld Design: Consists of a flexible, reinforced hose attached to a fixed water supply (often via a wall or deck-mounted fixture). The hose length provides the user the ability to direct the stream precisely where needed.
- Single Spray Head: Features a single head, nozzle, or spray attachment that delivers a soft, controllable flow of water.
- Activation Mechanism: Activated by a simple, intuitive mechanism, often a squeeze handle or push lever located on the nozzle itself. The valve must be a “stay-open” design, meaning it continues to flow without the user having to hold the handle (as per ANSI requirements when used for full 15-minute flushing).
- Plumbed Connection: Typically connects directly to a plumbed water supply, ensuring an unlimited duration of water flow.
- Mounting Options: Usually mounted via a simple wall-bracket, deck-mount for sinks.
