A decontamination process may use significantly less water when utilizing a targeted decontamination approach. Analysis of a given decontamination situation may direct responders to set up a given Contamination Reduction Zone and follow protocols for targeted mitigation of contamination found on individual responders working the scene. By targeting and controlling the contamination, significantly fewer resources are used in response to a situation.

Apparatus and methods for integrated emergency wash systems. Various embodiments include thermostatically controlled mixing valves arranged so as to permit load carrying by the body of the valve. Further, the integrated wash systems are especially suited for use in laboratories and manufacturing settings in which available space is at a premium.

A shower curtain closure includes a substantially vertical structure attached to a wall of a shower enclosure. The substantially vertical structure has a generally vertical channel containing a continuous magnetic strip. The continuous magnetic strip cooperates with a series of magnetic clips attached to a shower curtain or a series of magnets embedded within the shower curtain. The magnetic clips are secured to the shower curtain by opposing curtain grip surfaces, which can be spread apart to allow for installation of the shower curtain. The magnetic clips may be further secured by threaded bolts or formed with hinges that couple to curtain retainer components. Some magnetic clips may have protruding structures for handles. An optional horizontal channel structure having an optional angular component may be included, and an optional curtain retaining mechanism and a generally angular splash structure configured to relate with the vertical structure may be installed. A tool that aids in the separation of the curtain grip surfaces may also be employed.

A shower door comprises a movable door, wherein at least one rolling wheel is fixed on the movable door, and at least one limiting member is fixed on the movable door; the shower door further comprises a track, the track is arranged below the rolling wheel, a closer is fixed on the track, the closer comprises a clamping member and a middle portion of the clamping member is provided with a clamping mouth facing upwards; and the limiting member comprises a limiting block and an anti-bouncing block, wherein the limiting block is located above the track, the limiting block is capable of being clamped in the clamping mouth of the clamping member and the anti-bouncing block is located below the track.

A tool for use on safety showers may include a funnel, a drain system, a base, and a height adjustment mechanism. The funnel has an interior with a width wider than a showerhead of the safety shower, so that a showerhead may fit within or seal against the interior of the funnel. The drain system connected to conduct a flow from the funnel. The base supports the drain system and the funnel and may be placed on a floor beneath the showerhead, and the height adjustment mechanism may be coupled to control a height of the funnel and control sealing pressure that the funnel applies to a showerhead.

The shower head nozzle as disclosed herein includes a quick-connect coupling for selectively attaching the nozzle to a downwardly extending conduit or tube for directing tested water through a test unit and into a bucket or drain, wherein the test unit may include a flow meter for measuring real-time water flow rate and a temperature sensor for measuring real-time water temperature dispensed from the shower head, thereby reducing the testing time, more accurately determining flow-rate and water temperature, and decreasing the amount of waste water.

A shower head, illustratively for a sanitary shower, including a shower head housing, a fluid inlet into the shower head housing, a shower jet outlet out of the shower head housing, a fluid duct within the shower head housing from the fluid inlet to the shower jet outlet, and an overpressure valve pressure-coupled to the fluid duct, including a movable valve body which, in case of an overpressure in the fluid duct, moves from a normal position to an overpressure position. The valve body is illustratively configured to be self-retaining in the overpressure position and returnable to the normal position by user operation, and/or the valve body acts position-dependent on a passage cross-section of the fluid duct, wherein the valve body reduces the passage cross-section in the overpressure position relative to the normal position.

A shower jet generating device for a shower head, illustratively for a sanitary shower head, including a shower jet disk delimiting a fluid chamber on an outlet side and including at least one jet outlet opening leading out of the fluid chamber and at least one overpressure valve opening, and comprising at least one overpressure valve disposed on the overpressure valve opening. The overpressure valve illustratively includes an overpressure outlet opening leading out of the fluid chamber, an immobile valve seat and a valve body capable of movement controlled by a fluid pressure in the fluid chamber and interacting with the valve seat, which valve body, in a normal pressure position, rests against the valve seat, thereby closing the overpressure outlet opening, and, in an overpressure position, is lifted off the valve seat, thereby exposing the overpressure outlet opening.

Apparatus and methods for integrated emergency wash systems. Various embodiments pertain to integrated shower and eyewash emergency wash systems, including those that are particularly space efficient. Other embodiments pertain to emergency shower nozzles that provide sprayed water in sheets, especially a cylindrical sheet that generally describes the perimeter of the shower spray area, providing the user a significantly quicker removal of contaminant material during a shower. Still further embodiments pertain to improved flushing systems, especially flushing systems adapted for the space efficient, low flow integrated systems described herein.
