Frequently Asked Questions
What makes an exposed station easier to live with?
Everything is visible and in reach.
A leak shows the day it starts.
Isolation valves are reachable at once.
Hoses and guns change in minutes.
And it costs least to install.
Does the station itself get washed down?
Yes, and that is easy to overlook.
It stands in the room being hosed.
Hot water and cleaning chemicals reach it.
At strengths chosen to kill organisms.
Not to be kind to fittings.
What does that mean for the specification?
Corrosion resistance is not optional.
Stainless bodies and stainless fixings.
Including brackets and screws.
Carbon steel fixings fail first.
Usually before anything else does.
Where does the hose go?
On a reel or a proper hanger.
There is no cabinet to hold it.
So the fitting has to be provided.
And actually used every time.
That is a discipline, not a product.
Why does a hose on the floor matter?
It is a trip hazard on a wet floor.
It gets driven over by trucks.
And it picks up what is on the ground.
Then carries that to the next surface.
Which is a real problem in food areas.
What height should it be fixed at?
Valves operable without reaching over pipework.
Hot pipework especially.
And the hose clear of the floor at full drop.
Decide it rather than inherit it.
It is difficult to change afterwards.
When is a cabinet version better?
Where the hose must be contained.
High-hygiene and food production areas.
Or a busy traffic route past the station.
The cabinet takes the hose off the floor.
That is what it is bought for.
