What are the specifics of safety showers for hot climates?

In hot environments, the sun or the ambient temperature can heat the standing water in the pipes of the safety shower to very high temperatures. This can lead to a high risk of shock and scalding for the person seeking help when the shower is activated. For this reason, these models are designed so that the standing water can flow out of the standpipe, so that only tepid water is used in an emergency.

How can the risk of scalding be prevented for the person seeking help?

The valve is situated directly above the water inlet; the drainage outlet is then fitted above it so that standing water can drain away unhindered. The standpipe only fills with water when the shower is activated. The water flows out again when the valve is closed. This prevents standing water in the standpipe from overheating due to solar radiation and eliminates the risk of scalding for the person seeking assistance.
