Ensure Sanitary Compliance for Emergency Eyewash Stations The Evac Systems Eyewash Station Cover is a simple yet critical safety accessory designed to solve a common industrial problem: dirty eyewash bowls. In dusty shops, factories, or labs, open eyewash basins often collect trash, grinding dust, and chemical residue. This cover keeps the nozzles and bowl sanitary, ensuring that when an emergency occurs, you aren't flushing an injured eye with contaminants.

Key Features

  • Auto-Release Design: Engineered to "pop off" instantly when the push-plate or foot pedal is activated. It does not hinder the operation of the unit in an emergency; the water pressure or the user’s motion knocks it aside effortlessly.
  • Contaminant Protection: Covers the entire bowl and nozzle assembly, blocking dust, metal shavings, and airborne debris that can clog the aerators or cause secondary eye infections.
  • Universal Fit: Designed to fit over standard round eyewash bowls (approx. 10-12 inches diameter) found on most Bradley, Haws, and Speakman units.

Why It Matters ANSI Z358.1 standards require that eyewash nozzles be protected from airborne contaminants. A dirty eyewash station is a liability. This cover provides a cost-effective way to meet compliance and ensure that your safety equipment is actually safe to use when seconds count.

How to Use

  1. Install: Drape the cover over the eyewash bowl.
  2. Secure: Fasten the hook-and-loop (Velcro®) strap around the pipe or drain to keep it from getting lost, while leaving the main cover loose enough to disengage.
  3. Activate: In an emergency, simply push the activation flag/paddle. The cover is designed to be pushed off or washed away by the water flow instantly.

Technical Overview The cover is made from durable, easy-to-clean vinyl. It attaches via a retention strap so it hangs nearby after activation, preventing it from being thrown away or lost.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the EVAC Systems Eyewash Station Cover use 1000 Denier Cordura Nylon instead of standard vinyl?

The EVAC Systems cover is constructed from 1000 Denier Cordura Nylon specifically for industrial and tactical environments where standard vinyl covers would crack, tear, or degrade. Cordura Nylon resists abrasion from warehouse equipment, withstands temperature extremes in outdoor installations, and maintains its structural integrity in dusty or chemical-adjacent areas. This material choice extends the cover's lifespan significantly beyond cheaper alternatives, making it ideal for facilities that need reliable protection in harsh conditions rather than just basic dust coverage.

Will the 10" x 11" EVAC Systems cover fit wall-mounted eyewash stations in manufacturing facilities?

Yes, the 10" x 11" dimensions are specifically designed to fit most standard wall-mounted and pedestal eyewash stations commonly found in manufacturing, construction, and industrial settings. The bottom drawstring closure allows the cover to cinch snugly around stations of slightly varying sizes, creating a contaminant-proof seal. This universal fit works with brands like Speakman, Bradley, and Haws, though we recommend measuring your specific station's nozzle assembly height and width to confirm compatibility before ordering.

How does the high-visibility material on the EVAC Systems cover improve emergency response time?

The bright Red (SKU EP031RD) and Orange (SKU EP031OR) colorways serve a critical safety function beyond aesthetics. In emergency situations involving chemical splashes or eye injuries, every second counts. The high-visibility material ensures that even workers unfamiliar with your facility layout can instantly locate the eyewash station from across a room or outdoor worksite. This is especially valuable in low-light conditions, smoky environments, or during the panic of an emergency when cognitive function is impaired.

Can the EVAC Systems Eyewash Station Cover withstand outdoor installation in search-and-rescue staging areas?

Absolutely. The 1000 Denier Cordura Nylon construction and Made in USA quality standards make this cover ideal for SAR (Search and Rescue) applications and outdoor emergency stations. Unlike indoor-only covers, this EVAC Systems product resists UV degradation, moisture penetration, and temperature fluctuations from -20°F to 120°F. The drawstring closure prevents wind, rain, insects, and debris from contaminating the eyewash nozzles during extended outdoor deployments at base camps, wildfire staging areas, or remote industrial sites.

What makes the EVAC Systems cover's removal mechanism faster than standard eyewash covers?

The EVAC Systems cover features a simple pull-and-release design that eliminates fumbling with snaps, Velcro, or elastic bands during critical moments. The bottom drawstring can be released with a single motion—even while wearing gloves or with limited dexterity during an emergency. This instant-access design is specifically engineered for compliance with ANSI Z358.1 standards, which require eyewash stations to be activated within 10 seconds of exposure. Traditional covers with complex fasteners can add dangerous delays when chemical burns are progressing.
