Anti Scald Valve for Safety Showers

The anti scald valve is a spare part designed for use with emergency shower and eyewash units. It automatically responds to water temperature changes to prevent scalding risks. Constructed from stainless steel, it resists corrosion in outdoor environments. The valve operates without reliance on water pressure, reacting solely to thermal conditions.

It protects users from exposure to dangerously hot water that can accumulate in safety showers left in direct sunlight. When water exceeds safe thresholds, the valve opens to release hot water and allow cooler supply water to mix in. This action reduces the temperature to a level that minimises injury risk during emergency use. The mechanism helps maintain compliance with safety standards for ocular and dermal protection.

This valve is intended for installation in outdoor safety shower systems where solar heating elevates stored water temperature. It is suitable for facilities in warm climates or exposed locations such as plant yards, remote sites, or open-air workshops. The device ensures that flushing fluid remains within safe limits during emergency activation. Its function supports ongoing readiness of safety equipment under variable environmental conditions.

• Opens at 35°C to release hot water
• Closes at 29.4°C to restore normal flow
• Unaffected by water pressure changes
• Made entirely of stainless steel components
