Model GBF2172 Description

Recessed barrier-free eye/face wash and shower safety station with wall mounted exposed shower head and drain pan. Stainless steel cover provides attractive appearance and protects unit when not in use. When activated, cover serves as pan to collect waste water and return it into unit for drainage.
