Product Overview

A self-emptying wall unit with a stainless bowl instead of plastic: twin nozzles on yellow heads, a stainless arm, and a straight stainless leg that drops the bowl's contents away below the unit so nothing stands against the outlet between tests.

The bowl is the reason to choose this version. ABS is the right answer for acid and alkali splash, but it is not the right answer for every plant: solvents soften it, hot water softens it faster, and debris dropped into a plastic bowl can gouge it deep enough to trap residue. Stainless takes all three.

Where Stainless Beats ABS

• Solvents – paint thinners, degreasers and aromatic solvents attack moulded plastics; stainless does not care.

• Hot water – where a tepid supply runs hot in summer or a line is flushed with hot water, a metal bowl keeps its shape.

• Debris and tools – a spanner or a bolt dropped into the bowl dents stainless; it can split ABS.

• Abrasive cleaning – stainless can be scrubbed and descaled where a plastic bowl would be scratched into a dirt trap.

• Weight and rigidity – the bowl and arm hold their position; there is no flex when someone leans in.

Self-Emptying Bowl

• Drains itself – leg empties the bowl once the plate is released.

• Hygiene – a dry bowl is easier to defend in an audit than a standing puddle.

• Freeze margin – removes the volume that cracks fixtures in unheated buildings.

• Fault indicator – water left behind after a test means the drain is blocked or the fall is wrong.

Construction

• Stainless bowl – polished, rolled rim, straight-sided profile.

• Stainless arm and drain leg – rigid support with a 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.

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 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 bowl rim and outlet for scale.

• Annually: measure the flow; re-check the drain fall after building work.

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 requires a continuous fall; where that cannot be achieved, mount the unit over a tray. An eye wash does not replace a drench shower where the body may also be exposed.

Applications

Paint shops and solvent stores, workshops and heavy maintenance bays, plant rooms, food and beverage areas with aggressive cleaning, cold stores and unheated buildings, and any wall position where a plastic bowl would be attacked or damaged.

Ordering

Order by model RYEW-SS-D01. Please state mounting height, inlet size and drain route. Yellow and red ABS bowl versions of the same unit, twin-head wall models without a drain leg, and combination shower and eyewash stations are also available.
