The emergency safety showers are designed and
manufactured according to current technical knowledge
and are totally operationally safe. In all aspects, the
showers fulfil provisions of pertinent standards and
directives, such as EN 15154-1 and EN 15154-2 as well
as ANSI Z 358-1. These instructions contain important
information on mounting, use and operation so that
faults can be eliminated as a result of incorrect use of the
emergency showers. The instructions are based on
German legal regulations and directives. If the showers
are used in a different environment, local regulations
must be respected. The guidelines contained in these
instructions must be observed. Please read carefully
these instructions and store them near the equipment in
case of possible doubts. The operator should provide for
sufficient safety and check equipment so that proper
operation of the shower can be guaranteed according to
the given purpose.
A.1. USE
The emergency safety showers should – if possible –be
used for the intended purpose only.
Location of the shower should be selected
according to the regulation BGI 850-0,
issued by BG Chemie, or GUV-I 850-0 and
TRGS 526. Access to the shower must be
During assembly, maintenance,
adjustment, repair or mounting of fittings,
it is necessary to observe our specific
instructions as well as established
technical rules specified in DIN standards,
DVGW instructions, VDI directives, etc.
Data on use restrictions, accessories and
spare parts are indicated in the current
leaflet or in technical data sheets.
• It is necessary to be aware of external factors, such
as pressure, temperature and/or vibrations.
• Under extreme climatic conditions, it is necessary to
consider selection of materials in combination with
additional corrosion protection.
• Fittings must be mounted in a frost-free environment.
If the environment is exposed to frost, suitable measures
must be taken against freezing.
• Maintenance and repairs must only be done by
authorized professionals using original spare parts. The
spare parts can be purchased from the manufacturer.
The emergency safety showers differ in
the design and installation method.
Installation done in a different way,
incompetent installation, misuse,
unsuitable operating conditions, incorrect
maintenance, unauthorized changes,
operation by unqualified personnel or use
of other than the original spare parts are
inadmissible. They result in loss of the
guarantee, authorization and conformity
with specific standards.
A.2. INSTALLATION
Fittings can only be mounted by trained and qualified
professional workers. The pipeline must be laid in such a
way that the harmful forces induced by it cannot affect
the fittings. During construction works done near the
installation place, the fitting must be provided with a
protective cover.
Before the fitting is mounted, the pipeline must be
cleaned; it must contain no rust, welding remains, etc.
Before commissioning the new equipment as well as after
repairs, the pipeline must be flushed professionally.
Impurities from unflushed and dirty
pipeline may damage the sealing or other
parts of the fittings, or even result in an
accident during the shower operation!
Make sure that the connected pipeline is really clean.
Heed that there is no stress in the installation! After
installation or repair, function and tightness of the
system must be verified.
