Guardian Equipment is the world’s leading manufacturer of emergency eyewash and shower technology and related products for use 

in industrial facilities, commercial institutions, and many other applications where eye and body protection is a concern.  As such, 

Guardian drench hose units and dual purpose eyewash/drench hose units have been installed in thousands of facilities over the past 

thirty years.  These units are relied upon to instantly flush the user’s eyes, face or body should a chemical spill occur.
Like all Guardian products, our eyewash/drench hose and drench hose units are designed, engineered and manufactured for reliable 

performance and exceptional durability.  However, like all of our products, they must be installed correctly, operated properly, 

inspected regularly and maintained periodically to assure that they will be available when needed.  This Installation, Operation and 

Maintenance Guide will assist users and facility maintenance personnel in these activities.
