Abstract
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.
Claims23
An emergency water washing system, comprising:
- at least one spray assembly having an inlet, said spray assembly having an outlet upwardly directable;
- a showerhead assembly located above said spray assembly and having an inlet, said showerhead assembly having an outlet directed generally downward;
- a mixing valve assembly including a thermostatically controlled valve within a body, the body having a hot water inlet, a cold water inlet, and at least two tempered water outlets, said body being adapted and configured to accept therein water from said inlets and being adapted and configured to provide tempered water to said at least two tempered water outlets, said thermostatically controlled valve being in fluid communication with the hot water inlet and cold water inlet and operating to mix the hot water and cold water and provide tempered water to said at least two tempered water outlets;
- wherein one of said at least two tempered water outlets provides tempered water to the inlet of said spray assembly, and another of said at least two tempered water outlets provides tempered water to the inlet of said showerhead assembly, and a portion of the body surrounding at least one of the tempered water outlets provides structural support to at least one of said spray assembly or said showerhead assembly and provides a threaded pipe connection to the other of said spray assembly or said showerhead assembly.
