INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE
INSTALLATION
• Unit should be assembled in accordance with the
parts diagram, installed in close proximity to hazard
and should be in a clearly identified location, free
of obstructions.
• Shut-off valve(s) (supplied by others) should be
installed and located in accordance with the local
plumbing code.
• Back flow prevention device(s) (supplied by others)
should be installed and located in accordance with
the local plumbing code.
• Drain location and waste discharge should be
installed and located in accordance with the local
plumbing code.
• Eyewash water flow pattern shall be positioned
between 33 and 53 inches from the floor and at
least 6 inches from the wall or nearest obstruction.
• Unit should be connected with a recommended
minimum 1/2" IPS line to a tepid, clean water source
capable of supplying 30-80 PSI flowing pressure
for a minimum of 15 minutes. If shut-off valves
are installed inline, provisions should be made to
prevent unauthorized shut off.
NOTE: Do not use 3/8" nominal flex connector
as flow may be insufficient.
• Where freezing conditions exist, unit must be
protected from freezing.
• Performance should be verified after installation.
Check for any leaks while all valves are in the closed
position. All valves should stay in the open position
upon activation.
• With the eyewash valve in the fully opened position
and using a test gauge, the spray pattern should
meet required pattern per ANSI Z358.1. Verify that
the water is tepid, and flow rate is at least 0.4 GPM
for eyewash and 3.0 GPM for eye/face wash.
MAINTENANCE
• All units should be tested on a weekly basis to clear
supply lines and verify proper activation. Units must
also be inspected annually to verify the continued
conformance of required performance standards
stated above.
ANSI / ISEA Z358.1 COMPLIANCE
• Location:
Install eye/face wash unit within 10
seconds (approximately 55 feet) of hazard, on
the same level as hazard and with unobstructed
travel path. Where strong acids or caustics are
being handled, emergency eye/face wash units
should be located adjacent to the hazard, and an
appropriate professional should be consulted for
advice on the proper distance.
• Identification:
Identify eye/face wash location with
highly visible sign. Area around eye/face wash unit
shall be well-lit.
• Water Temperature:
Water delivered by eye/face
wash shall be tepid (60-100°F).
• Training:
Instruct all employees in the location and
proper use of eye/face wash units.
• Maintenance/Inspection:
Activate plumbed eye/
face wash units at least weekly. Inspect all eye/face
wash units annually for compliance with standard.
