Hughes 40k45g Portable Safety Shower Eyewash 30 Gal

Product Description

The HUGHES 40k45g is a self-contained portable safety shower with an integrated eyewash station, designed for emergency decontamination in facilities where a fixed plumbed unit is not available. The unit draws from a pressurized 30-gallon polypropylene-lined carbon steel tank and delivers water through both a push-down lever-activated shower and a pull-knob-activated eyewash bowl. Flow rates range from 3 GPM minimum to 20 GPM maximum, providing sufficient volume to flush nuisance contaminants from the body and eyes. The eyewash bowl is constructed from acrylic-capped ABS plastic with a covered bowl design to reduce contamination between uses. This unit ships from USA-based manufacturing. Industrial safety professionals and facility safety managers are the primary installers.

The 40k45g is suited for use in industrial plants, chemical handling areas, laboratories, and outdoor job sites where permanent plumbing is impractical or unavailable. Its portable, freestanding design allows placement near hazard zones without construction or plumbing tie-ins. The water preservative media type extends tank water usability between maintenance cycles. The green and white color scheme follows standard safety equipment visual conventions. This unit is appropriate for both indoor and covered outdoor supplemental emergency response applications operating at temperatures at or above 32 degrees F.
