Frost-protected eye shower

Frost-protected eye shower have been developed for use in areas at risk of frost, such as outdoor locations and cold stores. These are mandatory first-aid facilities for workplaces where staff may come into contact with hazardous substances, acids, alkalis, heat, flames and also extreme levels of dirt. The controlled, even and, above all, gentle water jet is optimised for rinsing chemicals out of the eye.

These frost-protected eye showers are used in areas at risk of frost and are recommended wherever there is a risk of the installation freezing. These eye wash units are all fitted with high-performance shower heads, ensuring that water is distributed over a wide area. This means that the areas around the eyes are also covered, and positioning the eyes within the water jet is straightforward. The correct jet height and a standard-compliant spray pattern are achieved by the integrated flow regulator, regardless of the available water pressure.

Permanently installed eye showers are the best solution for many applications in laboratory, warehouse and industry for example the BR880085. These wall-mounted eye showers for recessed mounting are frost-proof in that the water connection and also the shut-off device are installed in a frost-protected room. The actuating device and the eye shower itself are in the frost-protected room and can be easily actuated in an emergency. The eye shower is constructed to be self-draining by means of a 3-way ball valve, which allows the eye shower to run empty after use.

The frost-protected, heated eye showers are fitted with a self-regulating trace heating cable and additional insulation. An integrated thermostat provides further protection for the heating system. The BR826095 eye shower cannot freeze, even under the most extreme conditions.

Freestanding, self-draining eye showers are always clearly visible from all sides. Thanks to the valve installed underground (flush with the floor) and the water pipe laid in a frost-protected section of the ground, the shower is frost-resistant. The shower is activated by a foot pedal. Eye wash units with a collection basin collect the used water and drain it away, as is the case, for example, with the BR305395 model.

The large holes in the shower heads prevent water from pooling and thus prevent limescale build-up. Dust caps on the shower head protect against dirt and open automatically under water pressure when the eye wash is activated.

Our frost-protected eye showers comply with the EN 15154-2:2026-02 and ANSI Z358.1-2014 standards. Other national standards may also apply. In addition, company-specific standards may need to be taken into account when selecting a frost-protected eye shower.
