Freestanding Safety Showers

The category covers floor-mounted / free-standing B-Safety emergency safety showers for work areas where personnel may be exposed to chemicals, alkalis, acids, dust, or hot liquids. Available configurations include body shower BR 830, combined body and eye shower BR 832, hand-operated eye wash units with one or two spray heads BR 833 / BR 834, bowl-type units BR 837, versions with drain via support pipe BR 837 585 / 595, and eye/face wash units with bowl and protective cover BR 838, in ClassicLine and PremiumLine executions.

For body showers, the main hydraulic data are: overall height 2300 mm, projection 630 mm, water inlet 1¼” female, operating pressure 1.5–3 bar, and nominal flow rate 50 l/min, with optional versions at 75 or 110 l/min. Floor installation uses a base plate with anchor holes, 1¼” standpipe, ¾” ball valve, 700 mm pull rod, and an automatic flow regulator to maintain the specified spray pattern within the defined dynamic pressure range.

Selection between ClassicLine and PremiumLine depends on the installation environment and cleaning requirements. ClassicLine combines stainless steel and polymer components with green chemical-resistant coating. PremiumLine uses polished stainless steel throughout. Shower heads are self-draining and configured to limit scale formation, maintain uniform water distribution, and provide controlled rinsing of hazardous substances from skin contact areas.

Combined body/eye shower versions include separate flow adjustment for the eye wash section, PUSH actuation or lid-activated operation, 45° spray heads, and either bowl or protective cover arrangements to reduce contamination by airborne dust. For eye wash units, the stated flow rate is 14 l/min, with operating pressure ranges of 1.5–5 bar or 2.5–5 bar, depending on configuration.

Installation review should verify available water supply, pressure loss in the line, drainage provision, accessibility, and periodic functional testing. Referenced standards include EN 15154-1/-2/-5, ANSI Z358.1, DIN 1988, EN 1717, DIN-DVGW, and safety marking requirements per EN ISO 7010 / ASR A1.3.
