Eye Wash Station Emergency Shower Combination 12 LPM Flow with Pedal Stainless Steel for Mining/Construction | Instant Push Valve Floor Drain Kit

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this eye wash station suitable for Australian mining and construction sites?

Yes, absolutely. This eye wash station is specifically designed for high-risk workplaces like mining and construction operations. It meets the practical demands of Australian worksites with its durable stainless steel 304 construction, which resists corrosion and oxidation—essential for both indoor and outdoor Australian conditions. The combination eye wash and emergency shower function (12 LPM for eye wash, 12-18 LPM for emergency shower) provides rapid chemical and substance flushing, making it ideal for compliance with Australian workplace safety standards.

How much water does this eye wash station use per minute?

The eye wash nozzles deliver 12 litres per minute (LPM), while the emergency shower head provides 12-18 LPM depending on water pressure. This high flow rate ensures rapid and effective flushing of chemicals or foreign substances from eyes and the body. For optimal performance, your water pressure should be maintained between 0.2-0.4 MPA.

Can I operate this without using my hands in an emergency?

Yes, the station features both a hand push switch and an enlarged foot pedal for hands-free operation. In an emergency situation, you can simply press the foot pedal to immediately release water, allowing you to keep both hands free for flushing your face and eyes. The foot pedal is particularly useful when workers need quick access without delay.

What's included in the box and how easy is installation?

The package includes all necessary components for installation. Setup is straightforward: locate the station near a potable water supply, assemble the components, and connect the water supply line to the shower station. Detailed instructions are provided in the package. Most Australian customers can have it operational within 30-60 minutes without requiring a plumber, though you may want professional installation if your water connections require modifications.

Can I return this if it doesn't meet my site's requirements?

Yes. Yarra Supply offers a hassle-free 30-day returns policy, so you can purchase with confidence. If this eye wash station doesn't suit your needs, you have a full month to arrange a return. Plus, Yarra Supply provides Australia-wide free shipping, so there's no extra cost getting it to your site or back if needed.

What makes this better than cheaper eye wash stations I've seen online?

The key difference is the material quality and dual functionality. Many budget options use plastic or lower-grade materials that degrade quickly in Australian outdoor conditions. This unit is built entirely from high-quality stainless steel 304 throughout—from the shower head to the eye wash nozzles—giving it genuine durability and corrosion resistance. You're also getting a combination unit (eye wash AND emergency shower) rather than just an eye wash station, which means better compliance with comprehensive workplace safety requirements. At AUD $189, it's a cost-effective investment for a proper, long-lasting safety solution.

Is this suitable for both indoor and outdoor Australian worksites?

Yes, the stainless steel 304 construction is specifically designed to handle both indoor and outdoor Australian environments. The corrosion and oxidation-resistant materials mean it won't rust or degrade from sun exposure, moisture, or harsh conditions typical of Australian mining and construction sites. This makes it equally suitable for warehouse use, outdoor construction zones, or mining operations.
