EYEWASH STATION – FOOT OPERATED EMERGENCY

Full Product Description: Foot‑Operated Emergency Eyewash Station

A Foot‑Operated Emergency Eyewash Station is a pedestal-style ocular safety fixture activated by a foot pedal—designed for rapid response when hand use is limited or unsafe. Here’s a detailed breakdown:

Key Features:

• Foot-activated valve: Engage the eyewash by pressing a stainless steel foot pedal, enabling hands-free operation—ideal for users with injured or contaminated hands.

• Pedestal-mounted design: Stands freely or can be securely floor-mounted, placing the station right where eye hazards occur.

• Durable materials: Constructed using long-lasting stainless steel or powder-coated galvanised steel, typically accented in high-visibility yellow for easy recognition.

• Soft aerated flow with ergonomic spray heads: The zero-velocity apex point or similar technology provides a controlled, gentle stream to cleanse eyes effectively.

• Self‑draining and hygienic: Designed to drain after use, reducing standing water and minimizing bacterial growth risk—even with tepid water conditions

• Dust-covered nozzles: Eyewash spray heads include flip-open dust covers to protect against debris and ensure sanitary readiness. Standard compliance: Models are built to meet ANSI Z358.1 and Australian AS4775 safety standards.

• Embedded inspection tag: Some units include inspection tags or maintenance reminders for regular compliance checks.

Typical Specifications (based on common models):

• Height: Approx. 1.1 m (1100 mm) from floor to nozzle

• Material: 304 or 316 stainless steel, ABS spray heads, powder-coated components

• Spray Flow Rate: Around 17 L/min, soft and aerated for safe eye flushing

• Valve Type: Stay-open ball valve ensures continuous flow once activated
