READ THIS SECTION COMPLETELY BEFORE INSTALLING
The following is a step-by-step sequence of how to
install and maintain your Speakman SE-4000
GRAVITYFLO™ Eyewash.
FIG. 1
Caution: The Eyewash SE-4000 weighs
approximately 185 lbs. When filled with 21 gallons
of water.
IMPORTANT:
When fastening or mounting the SE-4000
to a wall, make sure that the wall construction is suitable to
hold a vertical load of 300 lbs. The SE-4000 comes
complete with a tubular wall bracket and hardware to mount
the bracket. The tubular bracket must be fastened securely
to the wall studs as shown in Fig. No. 1. Where concrete or
other composition wall constructions are involved, consult a
building contractor for the correct fastening and mounting
hardware to install the tubular wall bracket. Installation
height for the SE-4000 should be 33” to 45” from floor to
eyewash spray heads (to meet ANSI Z358.1). See Fig. No. 2.
1. Clean inside of tank and flush system with clean
water. Rinse thoroughly. (For periodic cleaning and
maintenance see Section V of this manual.)
2. Select a suitable location. Do not allow your
GRAVITYFLO™ product to freeze or become
overheated. We recommend the emergency
Eyewash unit be in an accessible location that
requires no more than 10 seconds to reach and
within a travel distance of no more than 100 ft. from
the hazard (to meet ANSI Z358.1). The area
around the Eyewash should be well-lighted.
FIG. 2
A clear area at each Eyewash station should be at
least 48” by 48” and should allow either a forward or parallel
approach by a person using a wheelchair. (See Fig. No. 3)
3. Position tubular wall bracket as shown in Fig. No. 1
and secure with four (4) 1/4" lag screws provided.
When drilling into tile, masonry, concrete, or other
hard materials, wear safety goggles to prevent eye
injuries.
4. Insert SE-4000 down into the tubular wall bracket as
shown in Fig. No. 2. Make sure that overhangs on
left and right hand side of plastic Eyewash
container rest securely on tubular side arms.
NOTE:
Tubular bracket can also be mounted flush to wall surface,
providing adequate reinforcement and wall supports are installed.
Spacer block not required when flush mount installation is chosen.
