Wash Equipment

Introduction

Stainless steel wash equipment is durable, vandal resistant, easy to maintain and hygienic and is suitable for use in new installations and refurbishment projects. When calculating a project’s “whole of life cost” the use of stainless steel wash equipment is often a more economic solution than traditional ceramic or fireclay products, particularly if the installation will be prone to misuse or vandalism. Certain products in the range can offer significant advantages, for instance washfountains, which are both space and water saving and washtroughs, which serve a number of users but require only one waste outlet connection. Stainless steel wash equipment is ideal for installation in public toilets, factories, schools and educational establishments, leisure facilities, sports stadia, entertainment venues, penal institutions, military camps, hospitals, offices, in fact all public, commercial, industrial and institutional applications. Selected items are available with a coloured Enviro-Glaze finish, giving the products the appearance of ceramic, but the durability and strength of stainless steel.

Maintenance
Routine cleaning is necessary to maintain the appearance of stainless steel. Washing with soap or a mild detergent and warm water, applied with a sponge or bristle brush, followed by a clear water rinse is all that is required. Unless specifically formulated for use on stainless steel, bleaches, abrasive or chemical cleaners should not be used.

Earthing Continuity
All products are provided with a number of fixing points on to which an earthing continuity wire with an end terminal can be secured.
