Guardian GBF2173 Safety Station

Model GBF2173 Description

Barrier-free eye/face wash and shower safety station for surface mounting. Unit is ideal for use on concrete masonry unit (CMU) and other walls that cannot be penetrated. Unit has exposed shower head and swing-down eye/face wash with 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. Rather than connecting to building drainage system, unit has 1" IPS stainless steel drain on front of unit for waste water. Front drain eliminates need for connection to drainage system while facilitating regular testing of unit.

• ADA compliance: When installed at recommended mounting heights, unit complies with ADA requirements for accessibility by handicapped persons.

Unit remains in operation until cover is returned to closed position.
