This Speakman wall mounted eye wash station has a stainless steel round bowl and a dual aerated spray head with automatic flow controls and flip top dust covers. A stay open ball valve operated by a paddle handle means hands free operation once activated, and the unit meets ANSI Z358.1.

Why choose a wall mounted eye wash station

The stay open valve is the feature that makes a fifteen-minute flush realistic. Push the paddle once and the water stays on - so the casualty can use both hands to hold their eyelids open, which is what actually gets flushing fluid onto the eye surface rather than the eyelashes. A wall mounted eye wash station that has to be held on with one hand is one that gets a thirty-second flush.

The dual aerated spray head delivers soft flowing water across a wider area, cleaning full facial areas rather than two narrow points. Chemical splashes rarely hit only the eyes, and a spray pattern that covers the face deals with the contaminant sitting on skin around the eye that would otherwise run back in.

The practical details protect the equipment between emergencies. Flip top dust covers keep the spray heads clean in a workshop or plant environment - a nozzle full of dust delivers contaminated water into an injured eye - and automatic flow controls keep the pressure right regardless of what else is running on the supply.

Common uses

A wall mounted eye wash station suits workshops, laboratories, plant rooms, chemical stores and washdown areas where there is a suitable wall near the hazard. Where there is not, the free standing pedestal eye wash unit can be positioned on the floor instead. Plumbed stations are normally supplemented by portable eye wash at the point of work - 500ml saline with eye cup and 30ml saline sachets. See our eye and wound wash range.

wall mounted eye wash station FAQs

What does hands free operation mean here?

The paddle handle opens a stay open ball valve, so one push keeps the water running without being held. That frees both of the casualty hands to hold their eyelids open - which is what gets flushing fluid onto the eye rather than the lashes.

Why a dual aerated spray head?

Aerated water is soft enough to tolerate for the full 15-minute flush the standard requires, and two heads cover a wider area, cleaning the full facial region. Splashes rarely hit only the eye, and contaminant left on surrounding skin can run back in.

What are the dust covers for?

They keep the spray outlets clean between uses. In a workshop or plant environment an uncovered nozzle collects dust and debris, which would then be delivered straight into an injured eye at the worst possible moment.

Does it meet Australian requirements?

The unit is compliant to ANSI Z358.1, the recognised standard for emergency eyewash equipment. Your installation also has to satisfy your work health and safety duties - location, unobstructed access, tepid water, signage, routine testing and records.

How often should it be tested?

Plumbed units should be activated routinely, commonly weekly, to confirm flow and flush stagnant water and sediment out of the line. Keep a record of each activation - that log is what a WHS auditor will ask to see.

Where should a wall mounted eye wash station go?

Within about ten seconds unobstructed travel of the hazard, on the same level, with nothing to unlock, move or step over on the way. A compliant unit installed around a corner or behind stock does not meet the intent of the standard.

Emergency eyewash equipment must be installed, located, tested and maintained in accordance with ANSI Z358.1 and your work health and safety obligations - product compliance alone does not make an installation compliant. Flush for the full recommended duration and seek urgent medical attention for any chemical splash to the eye, continuing to flush on the way if possible. For chemical exposures, contact the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26 (Australia), and in an emergency call 000.
