RECOMMENDED TOOLS: Pipe joint sealant, screwdriver, pipe wrench, three (3) rust resistant anchors
(3/8” diameter), silicone caulking, level.
LOCATION OF UNIT: The Model 8317CTFP (120V) & 8317CTFP.220V Emergency Shower Eye /
Face Wash should be installed in close proximity to potential accident areas. It should be clearly
identified, free from obstructions and easy to access. Suitable for use in Class 1, Division 2 Group B,C,&
D areas. Temperature rating T6 (85º C).
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY FOR MODEL 8317CTFP: Electrical power required for standard heat traced
unit is 120 VAC. Average power consumption at 50º F (10º C) ambient temperature is 125 watts.
Maximum less lighting is 150 watts. Connection at input junction box is 3/4” NPT. DURING
POTENTIALLY FREEZING PERIODS; INSURE THAT UNIT IS CONNECTED TO A CONTINUOUS
POWER SUPPLY.
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY FOR MODEL 8317CTFP.220V: Electrical power required for standard heat
traced unit is 220 VAC. Average power consumption at 50º F (10º C) ambient temperature is 125 watts.
Maximum less lighting is 150 watts. Connection at input junction box is 3/4" NPT. DURING
POTENTIALLY FREEZING PERIODS; INSURE THAT UNIT IS CONNECTED TO A CONTINUOUS
POWER SUPPLY.
WATER SUPPLY: The minimum recommended line is 1-1/4” IPS with 30-90 psi (2-6 ATM) flowing
pressure. An inlet filter is recommended where sediment or mineral content is a problem. Inlet
connection is 1-1/4” IPS. WATER SUPPLY MUST BE FREEZE PROTECTED.
MAINTENANCE: In freezing conditions, wipe eye/face wash head and dust cover dry after each use to
prevent unwanted ice buildup. SP158B Freeze Protection Valve is a field serviceable item Refer to
SP158B Manual for more information.
WARNING: Fire and shock hazards: Must use a ground fault electrical protection device (30mA
GFEPD) for Heat Trace. Electrical fault currents may be insufficient to trip a conventional circuit
breaker.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Refer to Installation Drawings for clarification. Use pipe joint sealant on all connections.
STEP 1: Prepare the emergency shower foundation locating three 3/8” anchors (not supplied), for
shower floor flange. Note flange hole positions so shower head eye/face wash and supply inlet
will be in proper direction. Raise shower into position and shim under floor flange if required to
maintain upright vertical.
STEP 2: Connect water supply as follows: This model is designed for either a top water supply or a
bottom water supply. This model is shipped with a complete 1-1/4” IPS union connected at
the top supply inlet. At the bottom supply inlet there is only half of a 1-1/4” IPS union. The
other half of the union is connected to a freeze protection bleed valve located inside the
shipping carton. Remove outer half of the 1-1/4” union from the top water inlet. Assemble the
half union onto 1-1/4” IPS male thread of either the top or bottom water supply.
Complete supply connection at the desired 1-1/4” union. Attach the other half union with the
freeze valve attached to the other unused union and complete the connection. Refer to
SP158B Freeze Protection Valve installation instructions on Sheets 2 and 3 of installation
drawing.
Turn on water supply and check for leaks, then operation of eye/face wash and
shower together. If flow of either is inadequate check troubleshooting chart. Heat
trace (supplied), insulate and weather seal inlet union and above ground supply (by
others). If flow switch is used, heat-trace and insulate 6” above flow switch tee.
