Gravity-Fed Eyewash Stations

PORTABLE EYEWASHES provide self-contained fluid where plumbed water is not available. Gravity-fed or pressurized portable eyewash systems should deliver the ANSI minimum 15-minute safety eyewash drench. To keep water stored in these portable systems safe for ophthalmic use, an antibacterial agent is included or available separately. These units often can be freeze protected for outdoor applications. Portable eyewash stations installed in temperatures below 16°C will need to be of a tempering design to maintain compliance with ANSI standard Z358.1
