The emergency shower includes a discharge outlet pivotable between a first non-use position and a second deployed position about a rotary union, for dispensing water therefrom. A ball valve is positionable between a first flow restricting position and a second flow permitting position, when the discharge outlet pivots between the first non-use and second deployed positions. A linkage system actuates ball valve movement when the discharge outlet pivots, by way of a first link pivotally coupled relative to the discharge outlet and movable therewith and a second link pivotally coupled with the ball valve and responsive to movement of the first link, the second link positions the ball valve in the first flow restricting position when the discharge outlet is in the first non-use position and commensurately moves the ball valve to the second flow permitting position when the discharge outlet pivots to the second deployed position.

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.

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 caddy includes horizontal shelves and a vertically sloped panel having a smooth surface. A bottom edge of the panel is positioned above and in registration with a hair screen carried within a lowermost shelf. Hair from one's head and body caught on one's hands and fingers during washing are transferred to the panel by touching the panel or land directly on the panel. Water overspray during showering or direct splashing causes the hair to slide down the panel and become trapped in the screen, which is easily removed from the shelf for disposal of the collected hair.

A safety shower including, a portable shower enclosure having a ceiling, a floor and a plurality of walls. The shower enclosure may also include a shower compartment and a water tank compartment positioned above the shower compartment. The water tank compartment may house a water tank, configured to retain water, that is fluidically connected to a showerhead that is positioned within the shower compartment, such that the showerhead can dispense water from the water tank. A heating system may be located in the shower compartment and configured to raise the temperature of ambient air within the shower compartment and raise the temperature of water stored in the water tank, and the heating system may include at least one heating element.

An emergency shower and flooring system includes a railing system and a grate system. The railing system includes a first rail and a second rail extending laterally from a first side to second side of the emergency shower. The grate system includes a plurality of grates extending from the first rail to the second rail. The grates are arranged side-by-side along a length of the railing system. Each grate includes a floor surface, a first sidewall extending downward from a first side edge of the floor surface, and a second sidewall extending downward from a second side edge of the floor surface. The first and second sidewalls each include a front tab at their respective front edges and a rear tab at their respective rear edges. Each tab is configured to interfit with a respective slot of a plurality of slots formed in the first and second rails.
