An emergency shower drenches a person who has been exposed to chemicals, and it must deliver a flood of tepid water instantly. The plumbing has to be right before an accident ever happens.
The volume
The shower must flow at a high rate for a sustained flush, which means a supply line and valve sized for far more than a normal shower.
The temperature
Tepid water is required so the victim can stay under the flow, with a mixing valve that prevents both scalding and cold shock.
The drainage
A floor drain catches the runoff, sized so the shower does not flood the room while it runs.
The testing
A regular activation and flush keeps the valve working and the water from stagnating. In Albuquerque, inspections check both the flow and the paperwork.
The audit
An annual flow and temperature test documents that the shower meets the standard. That record is part of the site's safety compliance.
