An emergency eye wash station must deliver clean, tepid water at a precise flow the moment it is needed. The plumbing behind it is a safety system, not a convenience.
The flow
The station must deliver a gentle, steady stream at a regulated pressure and temperature, usually tepid water between 60 and 100 degrees.
The temperature
A mixing valve keeps the water tepid so a worker can stay at the station for the full 15-minute flush without scalding or chilling.
The supply
The line must be dedicated and sized to hold the required flow for the entire flush, with a weekly activation to keep the water fresh.
The placement
The station goes within seconds of the hazard, on the same level and clearly marked. In Sierra Vista, safety codes set the exact requirements.
The activation
Run the station weekly so the water stays fresh and the valve stays free. A station that has not been used in months is the one that fails in the moment.
The call
Make the safety system work when it counts. Call 888-217-3585 and Sierra Vista Plumbing Helpers will match you with a Sierra Vista commercial plumbing pro.
