Acorn Engineering• Emergency showers are plumbing fixtures • Acorn is a plumbing fixture manufacturer• Commercial showers• 55+ years of experience• Use to make safety showers –
Logan showers• Design, manufacture
are all underAcorn's control
Why Specify Acorn Safety?
What makes us different? Nothing, but…”
• We’re the new kids, able to use hindsight
• What did the competition do right or wrong?
• Incorporated all the best features, standard
• Little details that go unnoticed
Hi-Vis Yellow Powder Coat• Some competitors do,
some don’t• If it’s not stainless
steel, chrome plated or plastic
• Added corrosion and environmental protection
• Most importantly -Increased location recognition in time of need
Pre-Assembly
• Not all competitors do
• All Acorn eye and eye/face wash models 100%
• Combo shower has 40-50 pieces > 1-1/2 to 2 hours
• Loop assy complete
• Acorn shower < 1 hour
In-line Strainer
• Standard on all models• Some competition
doesn’t offer all or it’s an add$$
• Pipes never flushed enough
• Removes the slightest possibility of debris failure on startup
• Our models must work first time every time.
1/2" Ball Valve Construction
• Every competitor has had a failure
• Excessive force shearing brass stem
• Excessive torque • We use a stainless steel
stem and ball• Not every competitor has
done this• Our models must work
first time, every timeValve (closed) Valve (open)
Eyewash Push Flag
• 14 ga. stainless steel• Some competitors
use plastic, cast pot metal
• Excessive force failures
• First time, every time
Dust Covers
• Required by ANSI Z358.1• Protects from airborne
contaminants• Flush fit, won’t blow
open in wind• Easy release on
activation• Some competitors use
hard/soft plastic caps• Crack & break,
stick in heat
Barrier Free
• More building codes requiring all fixtures to be ADA or BF
• Recessed wall shower systems 4”
Antimicrobial
• All eyewash, eye/face wash, and drench hose sprayheads and plastic showerheads are manufactured with antimicrobial ABS plastic.
• An antimicrobial agent is molded into the ABS material, providing integrated protection

ANSI Z358.1 - 2009• The standard which governs the configuration,
performance, installation, testing and maintenance of all emergency drench equipment.
• Owner, Engineer and Manufacturer must work together to determine proper equipment selection.
• Acorn Safety products are compliant and will be third party certified (IAPMO)
• “The Owner has to know his work place environment”
