IMPORTANT
Read this installation manual completely to ensure proper installation, then file it with the owner or
maintenance department. Compliance and conformity to drain requirements and other local codes and
ordinances is the responsibility of the installer.
Separate parts from packaging and make sure all parts are accounted for before discarding any
packaging material. If any parts are missing, do not begin installation until missing parts are obtained.
Flush the water supply lines before beginning installation and after installation is complete. Test the unit
for leaks and adequate water flow. For ANSI Z358.1 compliance, the main water
supply to the
emergency fixture should be “ON” at all times. Provisions should be made to prevent unauthorized
shutoff.
The ANSI Z358.1 standard requires a 20 GPM flow rate for the shower and a 3 GPM flow rate for the
optional Eye/Face Wash of flushing fluid for 15 continuous minutes. Haws Model 8740 self-contained
shower requires a minimum fill pressure of 20 PSI
and a minimum fill flow rate of 15 GPM for the
shower only or 20 GPM for shower and optional Eye/Face Wash combination at the automatic refill
connection to meet this requirement.Flushing fluid should be tepid per ANSI Z358.1. Haws Model 8740
should be installed in an indoor area that has an ambient temperature between 60°F and 100°F to meet
this tepid water requirement.
The tank water level should be checked weekly to ensure that the tank is full. For ANSI Z358.1
compliance, the automatic refill connection must be connected to an adequate potable water source.
This unit discharges water to the floor. It is recommended that this unit be installed in an area that
has adequate floor drainage. Failure to do so may result in major property damage.

DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCT
Haws Corporation Model 8740 non-electric, self-contained overhead tank shower and optional Model
874301S Eye/Face Wash is designed for use in indoor areas where the temperature is normally between
60°F and 100°F. The 330-gallon high density polyethylene (HDPE) overhead tank is discharged by gravity
upon shower or optional Eye/Face Wash activation. The unit is equipped with a 1-1/4” NPT inlet water
connection and float valve for automatic refill.
The unit is designed to meet ANSI Z358.1 standards for flow and duration if it is connected to a suitable
permanent potable water source. Haws Model 8740 self-contained shower requires a minimum fill pressure
of 20 PSI and a minimum fill flow rate of 15 GPM for the shower only or 20 GPM for shower and optional
Eye/Face Wash combination at the automatic refill connection to meet this requirement. Water should be
tepid per ANSI Z358.1. Haws Model 8740 should be installed in an indoor area that has an ambient
temperature between 60°F and 100°F to meet this tepid water requirement.
The optional Model 874301S Eye/Face Wash available for this unit utilizes Haws Axion MSR (Medically
Superior Response®) eyewash design. The AXION MSR Eye/Face Wash uses an inverted stream design
which sweeps chemical and particulate contaminants away from the vulnerable nasal cavity, consistent
with medical irrigation protocols.
Although optional, the Model 9084 is recommended for use with the Model 8740. The Model 9084 is an
immersible Cleansing Stick that gives continual protection against pathogenic bacteria for water storage
systems. It balances the PH of the water preventing the build-up of bio-film, scale, and corrosion for up to
3 years with proper usage.

MODEL 8740 ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. Transport the palletized unit to the installation point via forklift, ensuring the forks are inserted through
the shipping pallet.
2. The installation area should be located indoors on a level floor capable supporting up to 4,000lbs spread
across the four Frame Feet. Suitable concrete flooring is preferred. If unit is to be placed over a drain,
the drain should be able to handle a flow of 35 GPM; otherwise, the slab should allow the water to drain
away from the unit.
3. Confirm there is suitable available vertical space where the unit is to be installed. The unit requires a
minimum of 13ft vertical spacefor installation, 13.5ft of vertical space for assembly, and 14.5ft of vertical
space to insert or remove the optional Model 9084 Cleansing Stick if utilized.
4. Remove the plastic wrap packaging around the palletized unit.
5. Cut the three (3) steel bands that strap the unit to the wooden pallet as shown in Figure 2. DO NOT
cut the steel bands on top of the tank assembly (these 4 bands retain the tank on the tank frame and
will not be removed).
Figure 2. Removing 3 Steel Bands
6. Use a forklift to lift the Tank Assembly (Item #1) from the palletized unit, using the fork slots on the Tank
Assembly, and set the Tank Assembly aside.
7. Remove box of components from the pallet and remove components from the box. Next, remove
shipping screws/washers holding frame components to pallet. Discard shipping/screws. Place all
components in a secure area until needed.
Cut and remove
three steel bands
that strap the unit
to the wooden
pallet ONLY.
