When our laboratory was renovated/built in 1993, I remember there was a plumbing arrangement installed which automatically mixes both hot & cold water for the eyewash stations and showers. I might be able to dig into the prints to see what it was called & the manufacturer. Fortunately, we've never needed to use them and my people haven't neglected checking them weekly. I do wonder what would happen if there was no hot water - the water heaters do occasionally go off. The information contained in this e-mail message and any attachments may be confidential.

Looking on the Web, it looks like its not really being honored. The temperature range for 'tepid" is defined in Section B6 of Appendix B as being from 60 to 100 degrees F. So some more questions: * How do people who have tepid water units verify temperatures? By feel? By measurement? If measurements are used, please describe the procedure used. * Let's say the shower is indoors. Does someone have an idea of how long the tepid water lasts before the temperature drops to water main or ground temperature? * Let's say the shower is outdoors. Are there ways of avoiding water temperature extremes without a tepid water unit? Pipe insulation? More deeply buried supply lines? * Finally, tepid water units are mechanical devices with potential reliability issues of their own. Are they reliable? What sort of inspection and maintenance procedures do people have for them? "Inquiring minds want to know." Gordon Miller Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory P.O.
