Product Overview

An eye wash that brings its own water. The teal HDPE tank sits on a black tubular stand, feeds twin nozzles through a yellow tray that flips down to start the flow, and the runoff drops into the orange bin sitting on the stand's lower shelf. There is no supply pipe, no drain and no electrical connection — it is refilled by hand and moved as one unit.

The instruction label on the tank front carries the two-step pictorial most people need at that moment: flip the tray, put the eyes in the stream. The same label makes the unit self-explanatory to someone who has never used it before.

Where It Fits

• Sites with no water supply – laydown yards, temporary works, remote compounds, roadside crews.

• Where a drain is impossible – the bin catches everything, so the unit can stand on a finished floor, a deck or a mezzanine.

• As a first-response point – placed at the hazard so the casualty starts flushing immediately and then moves to a plumbed station.

• Changing layouts – workshops and warehouses that reconfigure; the whole station moves with the work.

How It Works

• Tank – moulded HDPE body with a carry handle and a screw cap for filling; gravity does the rest.

• Yellow flip tray – folded up it covers the nozzles; folded down it starts the flow and forms the bowl.

• Twin nozzles – two soft streams at eye height, set in the tray so the face is guided into position.

• Waste bin – orange bin on the lower shelf collects the runoff; empty it after use.

• Stand – black tubular frame with rubber feet, stable on uneven floors.

Technical Specifications

Setting Up and Weekly Care

1. Stand the unit where the hazard is, on a level surface, with nothing stacked in front of it.

2. Fill the tank with clean tepid water and close the cap firmly.

3. Fold the tray down and check both nozzles run clear with an even stream.

4. Note the time the tank lasts; the flush is only as long as the water in it, so record the figure on the unit's label.

5. Weekly: replace the water, run the unit for a minute, and wipe the tray and nozzles.

6. After use: empty the waste bin and refill the tank before the station is returned to service.

Maintenance

• Weekly water change is the main task; standing water in a tank is the usual source of contamination.

• Monthly: check the tray hinge, the nozzles and the cap seal.

• Quarterly: clean the tank with a suitable sanitiser and rinse thoroughly; check the label for legibility.

• Annually: inspect the tank for crazing and the stand for corrosion at the welds.

Standards and Compliance

ANSI Z358.1 calls for a fifteen-minute flush. A gravity unit carries a fixed volume, so the flush it can deliver is limited by tank capacity and by how much has already been used — record the measured duration and treat the station as a first-response point that leads to a plumbed unit, not as the only facility on a site. Water must be replaced weekly, kept tepid where the standard requires it, and the unit must sit within about ten seconds of the hazard with a clear approach.

Applications

Construction and temporary works, laydown yards, remote or unmanned sites, workshops without water, battery bays, vehicle compounds, agricultural chemical stores and spill-response points.

Ordering

Order by model RYEW-PT-01. Please state the tank capacity required and whether spare trays or bins are needed. Plumbed wall-mounted eye washes, ABS and stainless bowl versions, and combination shower and eyewash stations are also available.
