GBF2173, Recessed Safety Station with Drain Pan, Surface Mounted

GBF2173
Recessed Safety Station with Drain Pan, Surface Mounted


Application: Barrier-free eye/face wash and shower safety station for surface mounting. Unit is ideal for use on concrete masonry unit (CMU) and other walls that cannot be penetrated. Unit has exposed shower head and swing-down eye/face wash with drain pan. Stainless steel cover provides attractive appearance and protects unit when not in use. When activated, cover serves as pan to collect waste water and return it into unit for drainage. Rather than connecting to building drainage system, unit has 1 1/2" OD drain connection on front of unit for waste water. Front drain eliminates need for connection to drainage system while facilitating regular testing of unit.

ADA Compliance: When installed at recommended mounting heights, unit complies with ADA requirements for accessibility by handicapped persons.

Shower Head: 10" diameter stainless steel.

Shower Valve: 1" IPS brass stay-open ball valve with stainless steel “panic bar” actuator.

Cover/Drain Pan: 16 gauge stainless steel combination cover and drain pan. Grasping “panic bar” handle and opening cover pulls spray head assembly down from vertical to horizontal position, activating water flow. While unit is in operation, waste water is collected in drain pan and returned into cabinet for drainage. Unit remains in operation until cover is returned to closed position.

Eye/Face Wash Spray Head Assembly: Two FS-Plus™ spray heads mounted on supply arms. Each spray head has individually adjustable flow control and filter to remove impurities from water.

Eye/Face Wash Valve: 1/2" IPS brass rotating plug-type valve. Furnished with Teflon® coated O-ring seals and in-line strainer to protect valve from debris and foreign matter.

Mounting: 16 gauge stainless steel cabinet for surface mounting on wall.

Pipe & Fittings: Exposed pipe and escutcheon are brushed stainless steel.

Supply: 1" NPT female inlet.

Waste: 1 1/2” O.D. tailpiece on front of unit with hinged stainless steel cover.

Sign: Furnished with ANSI-compliant identification sign.

Quality Assurance: Unit is completely assembled and water tested prior to shipment.
