Installing a safety shower, particularly a wall-mounted model, involves connecting it to a water supply and assembling the components according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Based on the specific steps provided for installing a wall-mounted safety shower, here is a breakdown of the process:
Wall-Mounted Safety Shower Installation Steps
Follow these steps to install the safety shower components:
-
Install the Valve and Flush the Line:
- Begin by installing the 1” valve (1). This valve needs to be connected to a reliable supply of potable water.
- Once the valve is installed, flush the line to clear out any debris before connecting other components. This ensures clean water flows through the system.
-
Connect the Shower Head:
- Next, connect the shower head (4) to the water supply.
- This connection is typically made using the flow regulator (3) and the provided elbow and pipe connection (5). The flow regulator helps ensure the shower delivers the correct volume of water.
-
Assemble the Activation Rod:
- Finally, assemble the activation rod (6).
- Connect the activation rod to the valve activation lever. This rod is the mechanism used to quickly turn the shower on in an emergency.
Following these steps ensures the safety shower is properly connected and ready for use. Always refer to the specific installation manual provided with your safety shower model for detailed diagrams and instructions tailored to that unit.
