INSTALLATION
Review drawing (as shown on other side) to assure proper installation. The unit should be mounted to a structural member that
will ensure structural rigidity. Use appropriate wall anchors and be sure the wall bracket is level to ensure proper flow pattern,
and to avoid unnecessary water spillage. 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 discharge water 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.
