Application: EyeSafe™ faucet-mounted eyewashes convert any faucet into an emergency eyewash station without interfering with normal faucet operation. An EyeSafe™ unit can be installed at any sink, close to where accidents might occur. In an emergency, the unit is quickly located and activated, and provides an unlimited supply of potable water for rinsing the user’s eyes. Faucet control valve offers single motion eyewash activation by allowing the pull knob to control water flow while the faucet remains ‘on’ at a preset temperature.
Operation: Unlike conventional faucet-mounted eyewashes, the G1200 offers the ability to activate the eyewash in a single motion. The unit is equipped with a diverter valve for the eyewash and a separate control valve for the faucet. Once the unit is installed on a faucet, the faucet may be opened and left “on” to a preset temperature. To use the faucet, the flow of water is controlled by a quarter-turn ball valve and knob at the bottom of the eyewash. To use the eyewash, simply pull the knob on the front of the eyewash. Since the faucet is open, this is the only step required to activate the eyewash. Water pressure holds the eyewash in operation, leaving the user’s hands free. To return to normal faucet operation, push the knob in or turn off the faucet.
Outlet Heads: Outlet heads are mounted 3″ apart and deliver a soft, aerated flow of water. Heads angle forward toward user. Angle of heads is adjustable to permit full coverage and avoid splashing. Furnished with float-off dust covers to protect outlet heads.
Eyewash Valve: Forged brass diverter valve.
Faucet Control Valve: Quarter turn ball valve with chrome plated brass ball, molded PTFE seals and plastic handle.
Inlet: Body has 55/64″-27 female thread. Furnished with three adaptors (15/16″-27, 13/16″-27 and 3/8″ NPS) for installing on most commonly used faucets, including laboratory-type faucets.
Outlet: Furnished with removable aerator on bottom.
Quality Assurance: Each unit is completely assembled and water tested prior to shipment.
Important: Faucet-mounted eyewashes are intended solely as supplemental units in addition to dedicated, plumbed eyewash equipment installed in the workplace.
Faucet-mounted eyewashes should be used with cold or warm water only. Use of hot water might cause scalding.
Leaving a faucet “on” with a valve at the outlet closed can cause cross-mixing of the hot and cold water. The water supply lines or the faucet should be furnished with check valves to prevent such mixing from occurring. This unit should not be installed on a faucet with an atmospheric vacuum breaker, as the faucet control valve downstream of the vacuum breaker will interfere with its function. Guardian Equipment recommends consulting with local plumbing code authorities prior to installing this unit.

Application: Electric heat-traced stations prevent freezing even in extreme conditions. Thermostat regulated units are heated by self-limiting heat-tracing cable wrapped around internal pipe. Units are intended for cold weather use down to -40°F. See ‘Tempering Valves’ section to ensure tepid water compliance with ANSI Z358.1-2014.
Heating Cable: Self-regulated with external termination guards. Thermostat activates when internal piping temperature falls below 75°F. FM, UL, and CSA approved for Class I, Division 2, Groups B, C, and D.

Application: In an emergency, it is imperative that contaminated clothing be removed as quickly as possible. However, employees may be reluctant to remove their clothing in the presence of co-workers. A modesty curtain will protect the privacy of the user and permit disrobing while the shower unit is in operation. The curtain has a pocket in which a smock can be stored.
Installation: Unit is designed for use with recessed laboratory units, including emergency showers and combination safety stations. Furnished complete with stainless steel track assembly for wall mounting. All necessary mounting brackets are included.
Curtain: White polyester curtain with ring hangers. Curtain has tie-back so it can be neatly stored when emergency equipment is not in use. Curtain has interior pocket for storing a smock to be used after contaminated clothing is removed.

APPLICATION NOTE: These products were discontinued in September, 2021. Repair parts are no longer available. The Guardian G604X series of valve cabinets is a higher capacity, lower maintenance, and more affordable tempering valve that is designed as the successor to the G3800LF.
The G3802LF is a G3800LF tempering valve contained within a surface-mounted steel cabinet. The G3807LF is a recess-mounted cabinet (select the “recess mount” checkbox above to select). This series of valves is suitable for use with a single installation of emergency showers and safety stations, and with multiple installations of emergency shower, eyewash, eye/face wash, dual purpose eyewash/drench hose, drench hose and safety station units. The G3800LF valve is available in two additional configurations.
We carry a full line of tempering valves ranging in capacities from 6 to 81 gallons per minute (GPM). The valve must be properly matched to the flow capacity of the safety station in order to deliver water within the tepid range.
