ABSTRACT:
A kit for retrofitting a plumbed eyewash station is provided. The plumbed eyewash station includes a basin and an outlet pipe mounted within the basin. Prior to retrofitting the plumbed station, the outlet pipe is used to dispense water delivered thereto by a facility's plumbing system. The retrofitting kit includes a nozzle support and a self-contained eyewash fluid delivery system. The fluid delivery system includes a portable container and a nozzle in fluid communication with the container. The portable container contains eyewash fluid. To retrofit the plumbed station, the nozzle support is mounted to the outlet pipe; the portable container is placed on a support surface above the nozzle support; and the nozzle is mounted to the nozzle support. The kit preferably includes an activation door and an actuation strap. The activation door is rotatably mounted to the nozzle support, and the actuation strap extends from the nozzle. During the retrofitting process, the activation door is closed to cover the nozzle, and the actuation strap is fastened to the closed activation door. The retrofitted eyewash station dispenses the eyewash fluid emanating from the portable container instead of from the facility's plumbing system.
