Eyewash/Drench Hose, Counter Mount
Save valuable counter space while providing the safety protection you and your
students need in the laboratory. Install this hand-held dual-stream hose next to
the sink on the counter—the 8-foot reinforced PVC hose is attached to your water
supply and conveniently stored below the counter. In an emergency, simply squeeze
the “stay-open locking-handle,” and flood both eyes with fresh water. It can also be
used as a body drench, rinsing off the face, neck, arms, legs, or wherever needed.
Each spray head has a flip-top dust cover, internal flow control, and a filter to remove
impurities from the water flow. Complete with two bright orange heads, chromeplated
brass squeeze valve, and standard 3/8" pipe threads (NPT), ready to attach
to your water supply. Eyewash wall placard included. Eyewash is ANSI Z358.1–2009,
SEI certified.

AP1905 Eyewash, Swivel $409.00 Squeeze Bottle Eyewashes
These devices are not safe and should not be used! Why? Squeeze
bottle eyewashes only treat one eye at a time. They simply cannot
provide
the volume
of water necessary to properly treat the eyes, and
they are easily contaminated
by vandalism. Get rid of them! They are
unsafe and give you a false sense of protection.
Is Your Eyewash Effective?
The eyes are the most vulnerable portion of the body where laboratory injury is
involved. Eyes also represent the most important link between the individual and
the outside world. Every effort should be made to protect the eyes. The first line
of protection, of course, is chemical splash goggles.
If, however, a laboratory chemical is splashed into the eyes, the eyeballs and
eyelids must be washed thoroughly and immediately. According
to all experts,
rinsing of the eyeballs and interiors of the eyelids should continue for at least 20
minutes. This procedure should be carried out with a gentle but copious flow of
water. The water should be of drinking quality. The eyewash should treat both
eyes.
The eyewash must be located within 25 feet of any area where chemicals are
used or stored.
Lastly, the victim’s hands must be free so the eyelids may be held open to allow
water to reach the entire eye cavity.
