Abstract
An emergency eyewash unit is provided for installation on a counter top adjacent to a sink, and includes a pair of spray heads mounted on a common swing arm for movement between a stored position alongside the sink and an active position with the spray heads disposed over the sink. The swing arm is mounted to the counter top by a control valve assembly which opens as the swing arm is moved to the active position to connect the spray heads to a water supply. The eyewash unit includes an adjustable cam mechanism with a set screw which cooperates with a selected one of a pair of cam tracks formed on the control valve to define a limited range of swing arm travel between the stored and active positions, wherein the set screw is quickly and easily mounted within a selected on of a pair of threaded ports to accommodate mounting of the eyewash unit on the left or right sides of the sink.
