LOCATION OF UNIT: The Model 8346/8346CRP Emergency Shower should be installed in
close proximity to potential accident areas. It should be clearly identified, free from obstructions
and easy to access.
SUPPLY LINE: The minimum recommended line size is 1-1/4” IPS with 30-90 psi (2-6 ATM)
flowing pressure. Where sediment or mineral content is a problem, an inlet filter is
recommended.
PLUMBING CONNECTIONS: Inlet supply is female 1-1/4” IPS. Waste outlet is female 1-1/4”
IPS.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Refer to Installation Drawing for clarification. Check parts list to insure all required parts are
included. Use pipe joint sealant PST #565 (Loctite) on all connections.
Step 1: Prepare the emergency shower foundation by using the floor flange assembly as a
template. Locate the three holes for the 3/8-16 UNC x 6” anchor bolts (not supplied).
They should extend 1” above the floor level.
Step 2: Once the concrete foundation is ready (dry), assemble the floor flange assembly to
the anchor bolts; then securely fasten with 3/8-16 UNC Hex nuts and 3/8” washers
(not supplied), seal and tighten floor flange and tee making certain the waste tee is
facing the proper location and the foot control holes are facing side to side.
Step 3: Assemble nipple (1-1/4” x 21-1/2”) to the floor flange assembly and tighten with a
pipe wrench.
Step 4: Assemble the eyewash loop assembly to the 21-1/2” nipple from step three. Connect
the pipe wrench to the galvanized nipple between the two tees to avoid damage.
Step 5: Assemble in the following order:
Attach nipple (1-1/4” x 24”) onto the loop assembly.
Attach nipple (1-1/4” x 24”) onto the tee.
Attach tee (1-1/4” x 1-1/4” x 1”) onto nipple.
Attach nipple (1x 9”) valve assembly onto tee.
Attach street elbow (1”) onto nipple (1” x 12-1/2”) and insert flow control assembly,
tapered end first, on opposite end of nipple (1”). See SP829 Installation Drawing for
details.
Attach nipple with flow control onto valve.
Step 6: Assemble showerhead onto street el (1”). If necessary, use Dow Corning 832 sealant
placing 5 small beads on the male threads, just above the first thread.
Step 7: Assemble the sign onto the unit. Use the strap, screws, washers and nuts provided
to mount the sign onto the upright. The sign should be positioned for maximum
visibility.
Step 8: Insert the galvanized plug into the optional supply line tee that is not used. Before
connecting the supply water line to the emergency shower; FLUSH THE LINE
THOROUGHLY.

TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM REPAIR CHECKLIST
1. No flow. 1. Check the main shut-off valve.
2. Insufficient water flow, shower and
eyewash. 2. Verify minimum 30 psi (2 ATM) flowing supply line pressure.
3. Insufficient water flow on eyewash,
however, shower is sufficient. 3. a. Verify minimum 30 psi (2 ATM) flowing supply line pressure.
b. Probable clogging of flow control due to
inadequate line flushing. Unscrew
eye/face wash head and remove the
four screws to disassemble head.

building to see if it does handle the
capacity required for the entire
drainage system.
