Short answer: Our new vertical foot-pedal eyewash station pairs a coated carbon steel frame with an ABS bowl and twin spray heads. Activation is by foot pedal, so the flush starts and stays on without hands - which is the practical requirement in any area where a worker may already be blinded or holding a colleague.

Why foot-pedal activation

ANSI/ISEA Z358.1-2014 requires the valve to open in one second or less and stay open without being held. A hand-push plate meets the letter of that requirement, but in a real incident the injured person's hands are often occupied - supporting themselves, holding a contaminated garment away from the face, or guiding a colleague.

A pedal removes that dependency. It also makes the weekly activation test a one-person, ten-second task, which matters more than it sounds: units that are awkward to test are the units whose logs lapse.

Build details

• Bowl: ABS, resistant to most common laboratory and process chemicals, and unaffected by the corrosion that shortens the life of painted steel bowls

• Frame: carbon steel with a protective coating for indoor plant environments

• Spray heads: twin outlet with removable strainers, so blockage can be cleared without replacing the head

• Valve: stay-open design, single-motion, foot-operated

• Supply: standard plant water connection, sized for eyewash-only duty

Where it fits

This model is aimed at indoor chemical and process areas where a full combination shower is not required but a plumbed, hands-free eyewash is. Typical locations: transfer points, sampling stations, drum decanting areas, and the perimeter of laboratory suites.

For areas with full-body exposure, the same activation logic is available on our combination shower and eyewash stations. For tight spaces near a supply, a wall-mounted unit remains the lower-cost answer.

Ordering and customisation

The unit is available from stock in the standard configuration. Colour, bowl material and connection size can be adapted for volume orders, and our standard customisation window is around 15 days from approved drawing.

See the full specification and request a quotation on the product page, or send us your site conditions and we will confirm the right configuration.

Note: final technical data - coating specification, measured flow rate, net weight, packing dimensions and applicable test reports - is confirmed on the product datasheet for each order.
