Key Features
- Two Capacity Options — BTB30-2 (8 gal/30 L) for standard hazard areas with 1-2 potential casualties; BTB60-2 (16 gal/60 L) for high-traffic areas, multiple-shift operations, or locations with delayed emergency response access.
- High-Quality PE Tank — Non-toxic, UV-stabilized polyethylene construction resists chemical splash degradation, temperature cycling, and bacterial growth; translucent tank wall allows quick visual inspection of water level without opening.
- Corrosion-Resistant Bracket — Carbon steel with ABS anticorrosive coating for durable wall mounting in interior environments; 304 or 316L stainless steel bracket options available for corrosive or washdown environments.
- Push-Plate Hands-Free Activation — Simple push-plate operation requires no gripping or twisting motion; critical when an injured person has chemicals on their hands or cannot see to locate a pull handle.
- Twin Aerated Spray Heads with Dust Covers — Aerated flow provides gentle yet effective eye irrigation; spring-loaded flip-top dust covers prevent particulate contamination of nozzle orifices and automatically open upon activation.
- Complete Mounting Kit Included — Wall-mounting bracket, installation hardware, and high-visibility green emergency eyewash sign provided; installs in under 30 minutes with basic hand tools.
FAQ
What is the difference between BTB30-2 and BTB60-2?
The BTB30-2 has an 8-gallon (~30 L) tank and the BTB60-2 has a 16-gallon (~60 L) tank. Both deliver ANSI-compliant flow rates for 15-minute flushes. The BTB60-2 provides a larger water reserve for sites with multiple potential casualties, extended-duration flushing in remote locations, or reduced maintenance frequency. Choose the BTB60-2 when the eyewash station serves a high-traffic area with multiple workers or when emergency response may exceed 15 minutes.
How often should I test and maintain this eyewash station?
Weekly: visually inspect water level and clarity; activate the eyewash for 3-5 seconds to verify flow and clear stagnant water from the outlet tubing; record the inspection. Monthly: full activation test for 1 minute; inspect tank, bracket, and spray heads for damage or leaks. Per water change interval (1-4 weeks for tap water): drain the tank completely, clean the interior with mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, refill with fresh potable water or preserved eyewash solution. Maintain a written inspection log per OSHA 29 CFR 1910.151(c) requirements.
Can this be mounted outdoors?
The PE tank is UV-stabilized and suitable for sheltered outdoor locations (under a canopy, eave, or purpose-built enclosure). Direct full-sun exposure will accelerate UV degradation of the tank and bracket coating over time and may cause water temperature extremes (ANSIZ358.1-2014 recommends delivery water temperature of 16-38°C / 60-100°F). For unsheltered outdoor locations, consider a plumbed eyewash with a thermostatic mixing valve or a heated enclosure for freeze protection in cold climates.
Is the bracket compatible with 304 stainless steel option?
Yes. The standard bracket is carbon steel with ABS anticorrosive coating suitable for most interior environments. For corrosive environments — chemical processing plants, offshore platforms, coastal facilities, and food processing washdown areas — the bracket is available in 304 stainless steel (general corrosion resistance) or 316L stainless steel (enhanced chloride/pitting resistance). Specify the bracket material when ordering; stainless steel brackets carry a moderate price premium over the standard carbon steel version.
