Double Eyewash Station

A double eyewash station is a crucial piece of safety equipment designed to provide immediate relief to individuals who have had their eyes exposed to harmful substances. These stations are designed with two eyewash nozzles, allowing for simultaneous flushing of both eyes, which is crucial when time is of the essence.

Key Features

Dual Nozzles

The central feature of a double eyewash station is its dual nozzles. These are designed to deliver a gentle yet steady flow of water or eyewash solution, providing simultaneous and balanced washing of both eyes in an emergency.

Accessibility

Double eyewash stations are typically designed to be easily accessible in case of an emergency. They are often wall-mounted at a height that allows easy access and are typically located near potential hazard areas.

Activation

These stations are designed for quick and easy activation, often with a simple lever or push plate. This ensures that the eyewash station can be activated immediately, even by someone in distress.

Compliance

Double eyewash stations are designed to comply with safety standards such as ANSI Z358.1, which outlines specific requirements for eyewash and emergency shower equipment.

Applications

Double eyewash stations are typically found in environments where there is a risk of eye injuries due to exposure to harmful substances. This includes laboratories, factories, and other industrial settings where chemicals, particulate matter, or other hazardous materials are used.

Importance

Having a double eyewash station is vital for workplace safety. Eye injuries can lead to severe consequences, including temporary or permanent vision loss. Therefore, immediate and effective eye flushing using a double eyewash station can be crucial in minimizing harm and preventing serious eye damage.

In conclusion, a double eyewash station is an essential safety tool that provides immediate and effective relief in the event of eye exposure to harmful substances. It’s a critical part of a comprehensive safety plan in any environment where eye injuries are a potential risk.

This dual-purpose eye wash/drench hose unit, which can be mounted to the wall, fulfills the criteria of ANSI Z358.1, qualifying as a primary eye wash. This device removes the necessity for separate eye washes and drench hoses by combining their functions. The spray assembly can either be left in place as a stationary eye wash or detached for use as a drench hose.

The spray head assembly features two Gentle Spray outlet heads, each equipped with a “flip-top” dust cover. These are mounted on chrome-plated brass supply arms, ensuring durability and longevity. The unit is activated by a chrome-plated squeeze valve that remains open, allowing for hands-free operation.

All components prone to wear and tear are easily accessible for convenient servicing. The unit comes with an 8′ reinforced PVC hose, rated for 300 PSI.

Each unit is fully assembled and water tested at the factory, ensuring their quality and reliability. They also come with an ANSI-compliant identification sign.

In terms of application, this unit can be used as a dual-purpose eyewash/drench hose. It complies with the provisions of ANSI Z358.1 – 2004 as both an eyewash and a drench hose. You may leave it in the mounting bracket for hands-free eyewashing, or remove it to rinse any part of your eyes, face, or body.

The spray head assembly consists of two side-by-side GS-Plus spray heads. Each head has a “flip-top” dust cover, an internal flow control, and a filter to eliminate impurities from the water flow.

The valve is a forged brass squeeze valve, activated by a stainless steel lever handle. It features a replaceable stainless steel seat for exceptional durability. Once the handle is depressed, a locking clip engages, providing “hands-free” operation. The valve remains open until the locking clip is disengaged.

Quality is guaranteed as each unit is fully assembled and water tested prior to shipment to ensure optimal performance.
