INSTALLATION
When assembling use wrench to tighten connection joints. Be sure and use pipe sealant on all threaded
connections. Review drawing (as shown on other side) to assure proper location of inlets, outlets, and accessories.
The best method to assembling this unit is as follows: (1) Mount the bottom stanchion section to the floor using
suitable anchors. Then assemble the middle section and then the top section, making sure rubber sealing gasket is
seated correctly. (Use pipe sealant on all joints). (2) Rest the eye/face wash bowl on the rubber washer and drain
spud, making sure to get the bowl as level as possible. (3) Once bowl is positioned correctly on spud, apply
plumbers putty to drain strainer and tighten with hex tool (supplied). (3) Take 1/2” stainless steel flexible hose and
connect it to the 1/2” NPTM supply outlet located on stanchion and the 1/2” in-line strainer on eye/face wash. (4)
Assemble pull rod and shower head. (5) Once unit is completely assembled, connect potable water supply to 1-1/4”
top inlet, and 1-1/4” waste to bottom outlet. Failure to use potable water can result in emergency units producing
impure or contaminated water causing possible further injury. The drain tailpiece or waste should be connected to
an adequate drain in compliance with local plumbing codes.
OPERATION
The shower is activated by pulling the triangle pull handle. Once the valv e is activated the head will continue to
discharge water until the valve is manually closed. This is done by pushing up the pull handle to the off position.
The eye/face wash is activated by pushing the push handle back 90°. The unit will operate until the push handle is
manually pulled back up to the off position.
TESTING PROGRAM
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) states that all safety emergency equipment shall be activated
on a weekly basis to flush the line and verify proper operation. Speakman Company furnishes a testing record tag
(91-0635) with each unit. On this tag the date of inspection and the inspector’s initials should be noted.
