Description
Wall Mounted Facewash unit is a permanent, plumbed safety fixture designed to provide immediate and gentle flushing specifically for the eyes and face. Unlike a full safety shower, this compact unit is typically installed near a hazard where space is limited or where the primary hazard is localized to the face and eyes.
Features:
- Plumbed Permanent Installation: Designed for permanent, secure mounting to a vertical wall and requires a direct connection to a facility’s potable water supply and drainage system. This ensures an unlimited and continuous supply of flushing fluid.
- Dual Eyewash/Facewash Nozzles: Features two ergonomically positioned heads that deliver a soft, wide, and copious stream of fluid, designed to rinse both the eyes and the entire face area simultaneously.
- Compact, Wall-Mounted Design: Saves floor space, making it ideal for narrow aisles, labs, and congested work areas. The unit typically extends from the wall at a height that meets the ANSI standard.
- Hands-Free Activation: Features a highly visible push flag, paddle handle, or push bar that uses a stay-open valve. Once activated, the valve remains open until intentionally closed, allowing the user to use both hands to hold their eyelids open during the critical 15-minute rinse.
- Immediate First Aid: Providing instant eye and face flushing within the crucial 10-second response window after contamination.
- Worker Safety: Ensuring personnel in localized hazard zones have immediate access to the permanent, reliable water supply needed for effective decontamination.
