Hubbell Tepid Water Delivery System

Hubbell Tepid Water Delivery 

Life safety equipment must be ready to perform at a moments notice 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Failure can mean serious injury or death. Emergency wash stations are designed to prevent serious injury in the event of exposure to an aggressive fluid, such as acids or alkalis. Tepid water is used to flush the person to reduce or prevent injury from the exposure (Figure 1).

Not all tepid water systems for emergency fixtures are alike and it is important to know the difference. Gustavo Preston is proud to represent Hubbell’s Tepid Water Delivery System Model EMV.

Features

⦁ Hubbell’s EMV tank is lined with a Hydrastone lining, polyurethane foam insulation with a PVC outer jacket
⦁ Hydrastone lining allows for much higher water temperatures (170°F) within the tank.
⦁ The EMV blending valve can handle the large differential in inlet temperatures to the valve between hot and cold water. The valve reacts more quickly and accurately then standard thermostatic and/or pressure balancing mixing valves.
⦁ Blending valve is factory preinstalled on EMV system

Benefits

⦁ More durable and energy efficient tank than most conventional water storage tanks.
⦁ Foam insulation reduces heat loss by 24%.
⦁ Higher water temperatures help to inhibit bacteria growth and allows a 119-gallon heater to provide the ANSI requirement of water to the emergency station.
⦁ Standard mixing valves using thermostatic or pressure balancing mixing valves are either twice the cost or are not as accurate.
⦁ No need to purchase additional components as EMV comes as a complete, ready to install package.
