Pedestal Mounted refers to a type of fixture installation where the safety equipment (most commonly an Eyewash Station, Safety Shower, or a Combination Unit)is supported by a single, vertical, freestanding column or pipe that connects to the water source below.
Features:
Freestanding Vertical Support: The fixture (shower head, eyewash basin) is elevated on a sturdy, vertical column (the "pedestal") that rises directly from the floor.
Stable Base Plate: The pedestal pipe terminates at the bottom with a wide, heavy flange or base plate. This plate is designed to be securely bolted to the floor (usually concrete) to ensure maximum stability and prevent tipping, especially during emergency activation.
Durable Construction: The pedestal pipe is typically constructed from heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant materials, such as galvanized steel, often with a highly visible safety coating (e.g., yellow or green epoxy). This robust construction ensures it can withstand harsh industrial environments.
Plumbed Access: The vertical column serves as the conduit for the water supply, connecting the facility's water line (usually via a bottom or rear inlet) directly to the shower head and/or eyewash unit above.
Ideal for Combination Units:The pedestal design is the primary style used for Combination Safety Shower and Eyewash Stations, as it allows for the shower head to be positioned at the required height (82-96 inches) and the eyewash nozzles to be positioned in the required range (33-53 inches) on the same column.
Easy Maintenance Access: The design often allows access to internal plumbing and water controls (such as flow regulators and strainers) via access panels or removable sections near the base.
Maximum Durability: Provides the strongest and most permanent mounting option, minimizing the risk of damage or movement.
Unobstructed Access: As a freestanding fixture, it can be installed anywhere on a floor where plumbing access is available, ensuring the 10-second accessibility rule is met.
