Anti-Scald Valve for Emergency Eyewash

The anti-scald valve is a critical safety component designed for emergency eyewash systems, ensuring user protection by preventing exposure to dangerously hot water. This mechanical-type valve operates autonomously to regulate water temperature, activating when pipeline temperatures exceed 38°C and closing once temperatures drop below 35°C. Its innovative design prioritizes safety, reliability, and ease of integration into existing systems.  

Product Features  

1. Temperature-Activated Operation: The valve utilizes a thermally responsive mechanism to automatically open or close based on real-time water temperature, eliminating the risk of scalding.  

2. Mechanical Type Design: Requires no external power or complex controls, ensuring fail-safe functionality even during power outages.  

3. Auto-Bleeding Function: Incorporates an auto-bleeding feature to purge air from the pipeline, maintaining consistent water flow and pressure for immediate use in emergencies.  

4. Compact and Lightweight: Engineered with a small size (typically <100mm in length), it fits seamlessly into tight spaces without compromising system performance.  

5. Durable Construction: Made from corrosion-resistant materials (e.g., stainless steel or high-grade polymers), it withstands harsh environments and ensures long-term durability.  

Application Environments  

This valve is ideal for facilities where rapid access to tempered water is critical, including:  

– Chemical plants and laboratories handling hazardous substances.  

– Manufacturing sites with high-temperature machinery.  

– Healthcare facilities and laboratories requiring ANSI/EN-compliant eyewash systems.  

– Any environment where water supply lines are prone to temperature fluctuations.  

Key Advantages  

– Enhanced Safety: Prevents eye injuries by ensuring water temperature remains within a safe range (15–35°C).  

– Zero Maintenance: The mechanical-type design eliminates the need for electrical components, reducing upkeep costs and downtime.  

– Quick Response: Instant activation upon detecting unsafe temperatures, coupled with auto-bleeding, guarantees reliable performance during emergencies.  

– Broad Compatibility: Compatible with most eyewash units and plumbing configurations, thanks to standardized threaded connections (standard size ½” NPT;customize available).  

– Cost-Effective: Compact size and simple installation minimize retrofitting expenses.  

In summary, the anti-scald valve is an indispensable safeguard for emergency eyewash systems, combining precision temperature control, rugged reliability, and user-centric design. Its mechanical-type operation, auto-bleeding capability, and small size make it a versatile solution for industries prioritizing workplace safety and regulatory compliance.
