FEATURES & BENEFITS
CONSTRUCTION
1-1/4" stainless steel 304 pipe stanchion along with stainless steel 9" (22.9cm) diameter floor flange, provide an unsurpassed durability in a long lasting product.
QUALITY CONTROL
Entire unit is pre-built and pressure tested to ensure a leak free installation.
VALVES
Eyewash and shower ball valves are designed to make the flushing of contaminants occur with the simple pull of a lever or push of a stainless steel flag. Both valves come equipped with 316 stainless steel ball and stem to provide greater protection against corrosion and breakage.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Thermostatically controlled heat traced cable provides the energy needed to keep the combination shower and eye/face wash at an optimal temperature. 25mm insulation and anti-UV plastic jacket further prevent freezing down to temperature levels as low as -30° F (-34.4° C) to maintain optimal functioning conditions.
SHOWER HEAD
ABS plastic drench showerhead uses a hydrodynamic design to give equal distribution of water throughout the entire footprint of flow.
EYE/FACE WASH
ABS plastic eye/face wash head uses an inverted directional laminar flow to sweep contaminants away from the vulnerable nasal cavity.
