for a minimum of 15 minutes. If shut-o valves are
installed inline, provisions should be made to prevent
unauthorized shut o.
Where freezing conditions exist, unit must be protected
from freezing.

valves stay in the open position upon activation.
With the shower valve in the fully opened position, spray
pattern should be a minimum of 20 inches in diameter
at 60 inches above the surface on which the user stands.
Verify that the water is tepid and ow rate is at least 20
GPM.
With the eyewash valve in the fully opened position and
using a test gauge, the spray pattern should meet required
pattern per ANSI Z358.1. Verify that the water is tepid, and
ow rate is at least 0.4 GPM for eyewash and 3.0 GPM for
