Freeze Resistant Emergency Showers

Our freeze-resistant emergency showers and eye wash stations feature specialised components such as freeze protection valves and insulated piping, preventing water from freezing inside the unit and maintaining optimal performance in cold environments. This innovative design ensures that the shower remains operational and ready for use, even in extreme weather conditions.

Compliance Considerations

Emergency shower and eye wash equipment in New Zealand is expected to meet the requirements of AS/NZS 4775. This standard specifies minimum flow rates, coverage areas, activation force, and accessibility requirements but does not itself mandate freeze protection. The obligation to provide operable equipment at all times is implicit in workplace health and safety legislation, meaning a standard unit that freezes and fails in winter does not satisfy the duty of care regardless of whether it meets the standard under temperate conditions.

Specifying a freeze resistance emergency shower or freeze resistant eye wash station removes this ambiguity and ensures your installation remains compliant year-round.
