An improved emergency wash station is provided for flushing irritants from the eyes or face of an individual, particularly such as a person working in an industrial or laboratory environment. The wash station includes a spray manifold having a large plurality of spray ports disposed above the upper rim of a drain bowl, with the spray manifold being connected to a water supply via a single inlet fitting located externally of the drain bowl. A pressure control member at the inlet fitting insures a relatively gentle yet substantially full face flush spray throughout a range of water supply pressures. In addition, the spray ports are formed with an outwardly expanding taper to minimize clogging by ice or other debris.

An emergency wash station, comprising: a drain bowl having an upper rim projecting outwardly from a basin, said upper rim having a mounting port formed therein at a position located generally at a rear side of the drain bowl; a spray manifold having a curved, generally C-shaped geometry and including upper and lower interfitting and generally shell-shaped manifold members cooperatively defining a manifold chamber extending generally in opposite directions from an inlet fitting adapted for passage of water into the manifold chamber, said upper manifold member of said spray manifold further defining a relatively large plurality of generally upwardly open spray ports for passage of water upwardly from said manifold chamber as a plurality of small water streams; means for mounting said inlet fitting to said upper rim with said inlet fitting projecting through said mounting port and with said spray ports of said spray manifold each located a substantial distance above said upper rim, said spray manifold extending from said inlet fitting to laterally opposite sides of the drain bowl; means for connecting a water supply pipe to said inlet fitting; and valve means mounted in-line with said water supply pipe and normally closed to prevent water flow to said manifold chamber, said valve means being movable to an open position to permit water flow to said manifold chamber.
