GBF1740FDP
Swing-Down Eye/Face Wash with Drain Pan and Daylight Drain, Recess Mounted, Fire-Rated Construction

Application: Recessed barrier-free swing-down eye/face wash for use in 1- and 2-hour fire-rated walls. 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" IPS stainless steel drain on front of unit for waste water. Front drain provides for less costly installation while facilitating regular testing of unit.

Fire Resistance: Unit can be used in 1- and 2-hour fire-rated walls without compromising integrity of wall. Unit has endothermic ceramic fiber blanket around cabinet and is sealed with fire barrier caulk. Unit is UL-listed as "Through-Penetration Firestop System No. W-L-7167." Use fire barrier caulk when installing unit.

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

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 flow.

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 re-directed to daylight drain for drainage out the front of unit. Unit remains in operation until cover is returned to closed position.

Valve: 1/2" IPS brass plug-type valve with O-ring seals. Furnished with in-line strainer to protect valve and spray heads from debris and foreign matter.
