Emergency shower heads ensure complete draining
Speakman
The Lifesaver Emergency Shower Head (photo) is designed for laboratories, industrial buildings and other settings that require emergency shower capabilities. Its spray engine delivers water quickly in a stream that is forceful but comfortable enough for the user to stand under the spray for a full 15 minutes (the amount of time required to ensure effective washing after exposure to hazardous chemicals), says the company. It features an integral flow regulator that controls water flow to 20 gal/min. Its integral flow-control capabilities allow for simultaneous emergency shower head and eyewash use. Three versions are available: 80-in., bright yellow ABS plastic, 8-in. stainless-steel finish, and 1-in. stainless-steel finish (featured on recessed shower and combination units). — Speakman, New Castle, Del.
