INSTALLATION
Review drawing (as shown on other side) to assure proper location of inlet and drain. Mount stanchion to floor using suitable anchors. Rest the eye/face wash bowl on the rubber washer and drain spud making sure to get the bowl level as possible, to insure a proper flow pattern, and to avoid unnecessary water spillage. Once bowl is positioned correctly on spud, apply plumbers putty to drain strainer and tighten with hex tool (supplied). Connect a water supply to the unit (use pipe sealant on all joints) that is a 1/2” minimum uninterrupted source of potable water. Failure to use potable water can result in emergency units producing impure or contaminated water causing possible further injury. The drain tailpiece or waste should be connected to an adequate drain in compliance with local plumbing codes.
OPERATION
The eye/face wash is activated by pushing the push handle back 90°. The unit will continue to operate until the push handle is manually pulled back to the off position.
TESTING PROGRAM
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) states that all safety emergency equipment shall be activated on a weekly basis to flush the line and verify proper operation. Speakman Company furnishes a testing record tag (91-0635) with each unit.
On this tag the date of inspection and the inspectors initials should be noted.
