Product Overview

A stainless steel combination station in its most stripped-back form: one inlet, one eyewash nozzle, one push plate, one shower pull handle. There is nothing to adjust before use and very little to go wrong between inspections. The eyewash is a single large-aperture nozzle set in an open basin; press the plate at the basin and the flush starts, push it back and it stops.

The overhead deluge shower runs from a yellow triangular pull handle on a stay-open valve, so the water keeps falling while contaminated clothing is removed. The column is 304 stainless on a bolted floor flange, and a yellow PUSH sign at the basin marks the eyewash control.

A Single Nozzle, Deliberately

• One stream to direct – the user moves the head, not a splitter or a pair of heads, so the flow can be walked from one eye to the other and under each lid.

• One orifice to keep clear – no aerator screens and no second nozzle to fall out of balance; the weekly check is a glance and a wipe.

• Fewer replacement parts – one nozzle, one cap, one valve. In a plant with dozens of stations this is what keeps the maintenance budget predictable.

• Wide, low-pressure pattern – the large aperture gives a soft stream rather than a jet, which is what the standard asks for at eye level.

Push Plate Control

• Latched open on one press – the flush continues while both hands are used to hold the eyelids apart; the plate is pushed back to close.

• Nothing at floor level – no pedal or linkage to be blocked, frozen or stood on.

• Direct action on the valve – the plate works the valve without chains or levers, so there is no linkage to tension or replace.

Key Features

• Single large nozzle – one wide soft stream in an open stainless basin.

• Push plate eyewash control – latched open on press, closed by pushing back.

• Overhead deluge shower – large bowl-shaped head, yellow triangular pull handle, stay-open valve.

• Yellow PUSH sign – identifies the eyewash control at the basin.

• Single inlet – one 1-1/4 inch supply for both functions, one isolation point.

• 304 stainless steel – column, basin and shower arm in polished stainless.

• Bolted floor flange – fixed to a level floor; no platform or pit.

Technical Specifications

Operation

1. Reach the station within 10 seconds and stand at the basin.

2. Press the push plate; the valve latches open and the nozzle starts.

3. Hold the eyelids open with thumbs and forefingers and move the head so the stream passes over one eye, then the other, and under each lid.

4. For body contamination, pull the yellow triangular handle; the shower valve stays open until pushed back.

5. Flush for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention; push the plate back and close the shower valve afterwards.

Installation and Commissioning

• Position on a level, load-bearing floor on the same level as the hazard, within 10 seconds' travel, with clear standing space at the basin.

• Anchor through the floor flange and check the column is plumb.

• Connect the single supply, flush the line first, then pressure test at 0.2 – 0.4 MPa.

• Operate the plate: confirm it latches open on one press, closes fully when pushed back and leaves no drip at the nozzle.

• Check the single stream is centred in the basin and does not splash over the rim.

• Confirm the shower stays open when the handle is released, fix the PUSH sign, record flow rates and the commissioning date.

Maintenance

• Weekly: press the plate and confirm the eyewash starts and latches; clear dust from the nozzle.

• Monthly: clean the nozzle and the shower head face; check the plate travel and the valve for dripping.

• Quarterly: inspect the column, flange bolts and inlet joint for leaks or corrosion; confirm the sign is legible.

• Annually: measure eyewash and shower flow, replace the nozzle or seals if flow has dropped, and re-tag the unit.

Standards and Compliance

The station is designed to the performance requirements of ANSI Z358.1-2014 and EN 15154: hands-free eyewash activation, a stay-open shower valve, a controlled low-pressure eyewash flush and full-body shower coverage. The latched push plate satisfies the hands-free requirement while the latch holds; if it weakens and the flush stops as soon as the user lets go, the station no longer complies and must be repaired. Installation on the same level as the hazard, within 10 seconds' travel, with heads at the heights set by the standard, must be verified at commissioning.

Applications

Chemical and pharmaceutical plants, plating and surface treatment, workshops with dust exposure, battery plants, food processing, utilities and remote plant areas where a simple station with the fewest possible parts is preferred.

Ordering

Order by model RYFHS033. Please state supply pressure and water quality, floor type, whether a thermostatic mixing valve is required, and the required basin height. Twin-nozzle and foot-pedal versions of the same column are available where a single nozzle or a push plate does not suit the site standard.
