The installation and location of all safety drench showers, eye and eye/face washes must comply with the
requirements of ANSI/ISEA Z358.1.
Before installation make sure that this equipment will meet the requirements of potential hazardous contaminants in
your location.
Workers who may come in contact with potentially hazardous materials should be trained regarding the placement
and proper operation of emergency equipment per ANSI/ISEA Z358.1.
Installation of this system must be completed by a qualified plumber and electrician in compliance with all national
and local codes. Compliance and conformity to drain requirements and other local codes and ordinances is the
responsibility of the installer.
This unit is to be used with clean, potable water as defined by ANSI/ISEA Z358.1. Bradley recommends the use of
water preservative with this unit. Water preservative may be purchased from various distributors; please contact your
local distributor. If algae or other containments are allowed into the tank or develop in the tank the shower may not
function properly.
Weekly Inspections
Make sure the shower and face wash fixtures are ready to be used when needed by performing regular checks
and maintenance. Weekly inspections must be conducted on all self-contained safety equipment to make sure a
suitable flushing fluid supply is present, check if fluid needs to be changed or supplemented, and to make sure the
equipment is in good operating condition. See page 13 for additional information.
Water Temperature
ANSI/ISEA Z358.1 requires tepid water. Suitable range is 60°F to 100°F (16°C to 38°C). Personal injury is possible
outside this temperature range. If ambient temperature may drop below 60°F (16°C), install a heater with a
continuous power supply. If model selected does not include tank water heater, the ambient temperature will affect
the tank temperature and must be placed in an appropriate location.

not illuminate.
2. Open the eye/face wash valve. The horn should sound
and the signal light flash shortly after water flows from
the system. If there is the optional beacon light, this
beacon light will turn off once the fixture is activated
(the signal light will stay on, flashing). The area light will
always stay on.
Horn
3. If present, use the auto reset on/ off switch to silence
the horn during a water-flow event. Toggling the switch
to silence mode will shut off the horn but allow the
signal light to keep flashing. All units can be silenced by
deactivating the flow.
4. Shut off the eye/face wash flow valve. If applicable, the
signal light should stop flashing and the beacon light
will turn back on.
