DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS SO WHY TEPID? ANSI Z358.1-2014 requires that the water delivered to an emergency plumbing fixture should be TEPID (Appendix B6). Tepid water is NOT cold water! The standard has set the suitable temperature range as being in between 60 F and 100 F. Cold water may provide immediate relief, but prolonged exposure to cold water can result in shock. (a) Tepid water promotes fixture usage. Users need to be able to remain in an emergency fixture for the entire 15 minutes called for by the codes that have adopted ANSI Z358.1 (UPC and IPC), as well as by the MSDS sheets of a product. Users are more likely to use an emergency fixture knowing that tepid water is being supplied rather than straight cold water. Ground water is not the answer as the average ground water across the US is not even tepid. Even in those areas where the average ground water temperature is tepid, remember that this is an average. The best solution is to heat the water and send it through an emergency-mixing valve to insure that you have a year-round tepid solution. Cold Water is defined as being any water temperature under 70 degrees. These cool and cold-water temperatures are enough to drop your body s core temperature significantly. (b) 60-70 F is still considered a dangerous water temperature since controlling your breathing becomes progressively more difficult as water temperature falls toward 60 F. (c) Air temperature has nothing to do with cold water safety. (a) - ANSI Z358.1-2014 (b) - www.coldwatersafety.org (c) - www.coldwatersafety.org
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS LEGIONELLA CONCERNS Many if not most cases of nosocomial (hospital acquired) Legionnaires' disease go undetected, and most detected cases are not reported. Therefore, many health care professionals have the false impression that Legionnaires' disease is rare, but it is actually widespread. Legionnaires' disease is contracted by inhaling water droplets containing Legionella. The hot-water system can be a perfect breeding habitat for Legionella. Legionella grow best in water at 95 F to 115 F. Scale and biofilm within tanks, pipes and fixtures add to the problem by providing food and protection for Legionella.

STINGRAY SERIES ACC400 DRENCH HOSES ANSI Z358.1-2014 Features Spray Heads Spray heads are made of soft rubber. Dust Covers The red ABS dust covers protect the spray heads from accumulating dust or debris in between uses. Once the water is activated, the dust covers move out of the way so that the user has unobstructed flow. Finish The drench hoses have a high gloss finish that is easy to maintain and chemical resistant. Control Valve Simply squeezing or pusing on the handle activates the drench hose units. The control valve assembly has no return and shuts off automatically. The dual headed drench hose has a stay open control handle thatnlocks into a stay-open mode once the handle is fully depressed. Additional Components The standard hose for our drench hoses is 5 stainless steel reinforced PVC. Other types of hoses (material and length) are available depending on the application and project requirements. ANSI Z358.1 Our drench hoses can be bundled together with a properly sized emergency mixing valve in order to provide a complete tepid solution and single source accountability. Universal ANSI compliant signage comes with all of our fixtures. Configurations Our drench hoses can be deck mounted, wall mounted, or mounted directly to an emergency plumbing fixture. ANSI Z358.1 In accordance with ANSI Z358.1, a drench hose is considered a supplemental device, unless it meets the flow and pattern of an eye or eye/face wash system, is installed per the location requirements and is able to stay-open. Supplemental devices do not replace other types of emergency equipment.

259729 shower_eye wash sign.indd 1 5/19/14 4:07 PM ANSI Z358.1 2014 OVERVIEW The valve for an emergency shower shall remain open without the use of the operator s hands until intentionally closed. The valve shall be simple to operate and shall go from off to on in one second or less. Emergency showers shall provide a flushing fluid column that is at least 82 and not more than 96 in height from the surface on which the user stands. Emergency showers shall be capable of delivering flushing fluid at minimum of 20gpm for a minimum of 15 minutes. The spray pattern shall have a minimum diameter of 20 at 60 above the surface on which the user stands. Eye/face washes shall be capable of delivering flushing fluid to the eyes and face at not less than 3gpm for 15 minutes. Activator shall be easy to locate and readily accessbile to user. Eye/face washes shall provide flushing fluid to both eyes simultaneously. The flushing fluid shall cover the areas between the interior and exterior of the gauge at some point less than 8 above the eyewash nozzles (Refer to Illustration 7 in the Standard). Flushing spray heads shall be positioned 33 to 45 inches from floor, and a minimum of 6 inches from nearest wall or obstruction. Nozzles and flushing units shall be protected from airborne contaminants. The valve for an eye/face wash shall remain open without the use of the operator s hands until intentionally closed. The valve shall be simple to operate and shall go from off to on in one second or less. Document Purpose: Provide key points for assisting compliance with ANSI provisions which relate to emergency equipment. The ANSI Z358.1-2014 standard establishes minimum performance and use requirements for eyewash and shower equipment for the emergency treatment of the eyes or body of a person who has been exposed to hazardous materials. Installation Considerations Emergency fixtures shall be constructed of materials that will not corrode in the presence of the flushing fluid. Emergency fixtures shall be in accessible locations that require no more than 10 seconds (approximately 55 feet) to reach. Emergency fixtures shall be located on the same level as the hazard and the path of travel shall be free of obstructions. Employees who may be exposed to hazardous materials shall be instructed in the location and proper use of the emergency fixtures. Emergency fixtures shall be activated on a weekly basis and inspected annually to conform with the requirements of the standard. Each part of a combination unit shall be certified individually and when activated simultaneously be in accordance with the procedures associated for the specific component. Emergency fixtures shall be located in an area identified with a highly visible sign and be in a well-lit area. A means shall be provided to ensure that a controlled flow of flushing fluid is provided at a velocity low enough to be non-injurious to the user.
