Why Buy Acorn?  Learn how to specify Acorn Safety products

You have a choice when it is time to decide which brand of emergency drench equipment you should specify and buy. There are many reasons for choosing Acorn Safety, some obvious and others not so readily apparent.

Experience is one. With over 50 years of history as a plumbing fixture manufacturer, Acorn Safety is built with the highest quality standards; in compliance with and certified to ANSI Z358.1-2004.

A simple 4 digit part numbering system, coupled with the most extensive array of options in the industry, allows the safety professional or engineer to create, design and select the exact type of drenching system required for the hazard present.

All Acorn Safety products are designed in the United States by our dedicated team of Acorn engineers. As a result we have incorporated standard design features that are additional cost “adds” by our competitors.

Here are some additional advantages: 

1. All of Acorn’s standard products utilize Hi-Visibility yellow powder coating and yellow ABS plastics. This increases the ability to locate the equipment in time of need as well as provides additional corrosion protection.
2. All eyewash and eye/face wash models and assemblies have an integral strainer for increased protection against harmful particulates in the water supply.
3. Flip-top dust covers are standard on all eyewash and eye/face wash heads.
4. The Acorn “wall of water” showerhead is one of the most effective showerheads in the industry. Its ability to provide complete drenching within the ANSI proscribed spray pattern is second to none.
5. Where ever possible, stainless steel components are used to increase durability and corrosion protection. Typically these components are wall brackets, eye and eye/face wash push levers, foot treadles, shower pull rods and some ball valve stems.
6. Many Acorn Safety models will be shipped fully assembled. This reduces costly labor and the potential for faulty installation. Those models not fully assembled will be shipped with as much pre-assembly as possible.
7. For your convenience, Acorn is willing to make and modify any drench system to your specifications.  When it comes to safety, there can never be an “alternative”!
