Flushing Sources & Fluid
Control Valves
•
All control valves shall be readily accessible, simple to operate and shall go from ‘off’ to ‘on’
in 1 second or less.
Temperature
•
All systems must be capable of delivering tepid flushing fluid.
•
Tepid, as defined in ANSI/ISEA-Z358.1-2009 is: a flushing fluid temperature conducive to
promoting a 15 min irrigation period. A suitable range is 16 - 38°C (60 - 100°F).
•
Temperatures in excess of 38°C (100°F) have proven to be harmful to the eyes and can
enhance chemical interaction with the skin and eye tissue.
•
While cold flushing fluid temperatures provide immediate cooling after chemical contact,
prolonged exposure to cold fluids affect the ability to maintain adequate body temperature
and can result in the premature cessation of first aid treatment. Recent information
indicates that a temperature of 16°C (60°F) is suitable for the lower parameter for tepid
flushing fluid without causing hypothermia to the equipment user.
Spray Pattern and Spray Volume
•
Overhead shower outlets shall have a spray pattern with a minimum diameter of 50.8 cm
(20 in) at 152.4 cm (60 in) above the surface on which the user stands. It will be capable of
delivering flushing fluid at a minimum of 75.7 litres / minute (20 gpm) for a minimum time
of 15 minutes.
•
Eyewash equipment shall be positioned with the nozzles not less than 83.6 cm (33 in) and
no greater than 114.3 cm (45 in) from the surface on which the user stands. It must provide
