Eyewash Stations for Emergency Flushing
Eyewash stations cover the plumbed and portable emergency equipment a facility installs to flush the eyes and face after chemical or particulate exposure. The catalog stocks wall-mounted plumbed units, gravity-fed portable stations, refill cartridges and preservative solution so laboratories, plant areas and clinical support departments can meet emergency flushing requirements.
Eyewash Formats Stocked
- Plumbed eyewash stations - Wall and pedestal units with twin spray heads and stay-open valves that connect to a potable water line from Bradley, Haws and Guardian Equipment.
- Combination eyewash and drench showers - Fixtures that pair an eyewash with an overhead drench shower for eye and body flushing.
- Portable gravity-fed stations - Self-contained tanks that provide flushing fluid where plumbing is unavailable, for mobile and remote work areas.
- Personal eyewash bottles - Single and dual bottles mounted at workstations for immediate on-the-spot flushing before reaching a primary station.
- Refill cartridges and preservative - Replacement fluid cartridges, sealed-water tanks and preservative additive for maintaining portable and bottle units.
Eyewash Formats Compared
| Format | Water Source | Duration | Common Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plumbed station | Potable water line | Continuous 15-minute flush | Labs, plant, processing |
| Combination shower | Potable water line | Continuous eye and body | Chemical handling areas |
| Portable gravity station | Self-contained tank | 15-minute sealed fluid | Remote, non-plumbed areas |
| Personal bottle | Bottled fluid | Immediate short flush | Point-of-use workstations |
Plumbed and Portable Selection
Plumbed eyewash stations connect to a potable water supply and deliver a continuous flush from twin spray heads with a stay-open valve. Portable gravity-fed stations hold sealed flushing fluid for areas without plumbing and are maintained with replacement cartridges and preservative additive on a service schedule. Personal eyewash bottles provide immediate flushing at the point of use before a person reaches a primary station, and are not a substitute for a primary eyewash. Products are described by format, water source and flushing duration, and installation follows the facility emergency equipment plan and applicable standards.
Eyewash stations are durable installed equipment supported by a recurring stream of refill cartridges, preservative and inspection supplies. Standardizing on station type and refill format across a facility keeps maintenance predictable and units inspection-ready, which is where consolidated ordering helps materials management maintain the program.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a plumbed and a portable eyewash station?
A plumbed eyewash station connects to a potable water line and delivers a continuous flush from a fixed wall or pedestal fixture, suited to labs, plant areas and processing lines. A portable gravity-fed station holds sealed flushing fluid in a self-contained tank for areas without plumbing and is maintained with replacement cartridges and preservative. The catalog stocks both to match the location.
Are combination eyewash and drench shower units available?
Yes. The catalog stocks combination units that pair an eyewash with an overhead drench shower on a single fixture for areas where both eye and full-body flushing may be needed, such as chemical handling and processing zones. These connect to a potable water line and use a stay-open valve for hands-free operation.
What refill and maintenance supplies are stocked for eyewash stations?
Portable and bottle eyewash units are maintained with replacement fluid cartridges, sealed-water tanks and preservative additive on a service schedule, and the catalog stocks these along with inspection tags and dust covers. Personal eyewash bottles are stocked as point-of-use items and replacements. Standardizing on one station type keeps refill formats consistent across a facility.
Can facilities order eyewash stations and refills in bulk?
Yes. Plumbed and portable eyewash stations, combination units, personal bottles and refill cartridges are stocked for hospitals, laboratories, plant operations and licensed distributors, with quantity pricing for multi-station rollouts. Standing order programs are available for recurring refill cartridges and preservative. Contact our procurement team for tiered case pricing and standing order setup.
What eyewash products should be in a facility formulary?
An eyewash formulary, or standardized emergency equipment list, typically covers plumbed wall stations for labs and processing areas, combination eyewash and drench units for chemical zones, portable gravity stations for non-plumbed areas, personal bottles at point-of-use workstations, and the refill cartridges and preservative that keep portable units serviced.
