Over the years, we’ve seen a recurring pattern with regard to the types of questions users have about emergency fixtures. The following are typical of some of the most frequently asked questions our technical support staff encounters, and the answers to these common inquiries.
A: Do not begin any installation work — including rough-ins — without consulting the installation instructions for the specific model ordered. The instructions contain information about the supplies needed for the job and an illustrated list of components and parts. They provide a step-by-step guide to sealants, dimensions, water flow and drainage capacity requirements, including information about how and where to mount warning signs. Manuals also contain information about water supply connections and testing to ensure that the unit is operating in compliance with standards.
