Product Overview

The same self-emptying wall unit as its yellow counterpart, with a red ABS bowl instead: twin nozzles on yellow heads, a stainless arm and a straight stainless leg that drops the bowl's contents away below the unit, and a yellow PUSH plate with red pictogram bracketed beside the bowl.

Colour is the reason this version exists. In plants where yellow is used for machine guards, floor markings, handrails and caution tape, a yellow bowl becomes one more yellow object in a yellow field. Red marks emergency equipment in most sites — cabinets, call points, extinguishers — and reads as "use this, now".

Why Red Here

• Colour zoning – where caution is yellow, emergency equipment in red is a different instruction, not more of the same one.

• Long sight lines – red holds contrast against grey steel, concrete and blue drums at distance.

• Consistent with the rest of the kit – if your fire and first-aid points are red, the eye wash joins that family instead of sitting apart.

• Same hardware underneath – bowl colour is the only difference from the yellow model, so spares and fixing details are common.

Self-Emptying Bowl

• Drains itself – the leg empties the bowl after the plate is released, so no pool sits against the outlet between weekly tests.

• Hygiene friendly – a dry bowl is easier to defend in food, beverage and pharma inspections than a standing puddle.

• Freeze margin – removes the volume that splits plastic bowls in unheated buildings.

• Fault indicator – water left in the bowl after a test means a blocked or badly falling drain.

Construction

• Red ABS bowl – moulded, rolled edge, acid and alkali resistant.

• Stainless arm and drain leg – rigid support with a straight vertical outlet below the bowl.

• Twin nozzles – yellow heads on stainless stems, angled for eye-level flushing.

• Round stainless wall flange – bolt to wall, covers the pipe entry.

• Yellow PUSH plate – red pictogram, black lettering, stainless frame.

Technical Specifications

Installation

1. Set the flange height so the nozzles sit at eye level for the shortest regular user.

2. Plan the drain before drilling: the leg must fall continuously to a gully, channel or tray, with no level section.

3. Anchor the flange; the wall must take the load of someone leaning into the bowl.

4. Connect supply and drain, fit an isolation valve upstream, flush the line before use.

5. Run the unit, release the plate and watch the bowl empty.

6. Confirm the plate latches open and that the yellow sign faces the approach.

Maintenance

• Weekly: activate the unit, check both nozzles run clear and the bowl empties fully.

• Monthly: check flange fixings, drain leg joints and the latch.

• Quarterly: clean nozzles and strainer; check the ABS bowl for crazing around the outlet.

• Annually: measure the flow and re-check the drain fall.

Standards and Compliance

Designed to meet ANSI Z358.1-2014 eyewash requirements for flow, hands-free operation and bowl coverage. Siting within about ten seconds of the hazard, tepid water, weekly activation and approach signage remain site responsibilities. The drain leg needs a continuous fall; where that cannot be achieved, specify a unit over a tray. An eye wash does not replace a drench shower where the body may also be exposed.

Applications

Plants with established red safety-equipment coding, food and beverage areas, pharmaceutical and cosmetics rooms, laboratories, cold stores and unheated buildings.

Ordering
