Installation, Operation and Maintenance
EyeSafe™ Faucet Mounted Eyewashes
A. Installation
1. Remove present aerator or other fitting from faucet outlet.
2. Mount the Eye Safe unit to faucet spout. The Eye Safe inlet has a
55/64”-27 female thread.
Note: Due to the variety of faucets, it may be necessary to use an adapter
to mount the Eye Safe unit on the faucet spout. Three adapters are
furnished with the unit; a larger adapter with 15/16”-27 thread size
to fit Delta and American Standard faucets, a smaller adapter with
13/16”-27 thread size to fit Kohler and other faucets, and a 3/8” NPS
adapter to fit Water Saver faucets. Important: When mounting eye
safe to faucet, be careful not to overtighten adapter.
3. If necessary, use a 13/16” or adjustable wrench to adjust the angle of the
outlet heads to obtain the desired angle for the eye wash water flow.
4. Attach the enclosed sign to wall or backsplash behind sink.
B. Use
1. Turn on cold water side of faucet. Important: use only cold water when
eye safe unit is in operation. Hot water may cause scalding or other
injury.
2. Pull knob on Eye Safe unit forward to activate the eye wash. Water
pressure will hold the eye wash in operation, thus leaving the user’s
hands free.
3. To return to normal faucet operation, push knob back to original
position. When the faucet is turned off, the knob will return to original
position automatically.
C. Maintenance
1. Periodic cleaning of the eye wash aerators is advisable to assure proper
water flow.
2. Keep plastic float-off covers on outlet heads when the unit is not in use.
3. The Eye Safe unit, like all emergency eye wash and shower equipment,
should be tested weekly.
