Abstract
An emergency wash station is provided for flushing irritants from the eyes and face of an individual, particularly such as person working in a laboratory or industrial environment. The wash station comprises a basin with a pair of upstanding flow risers disposed therein and having spray heads at their upper ends. An actuator valve is adapted for movement to an open position to supply water for flow upwardly through the flow risers and spray heads. The flow risers each include a flow conduit leading to the associated spray head, in combination with at least one blind-end passage, to achieve more rapid initial delivery of water to the spray heads when the actuator valve is opened.
