ProStat Opti-Klens OK-IIE Face & Eyewash with Eliminator Valve – 7159

ProStat Opti-Klens OK-IIE 7159 Face & Eyewash with Eliminator Valve

The ProStat Opti-Klens OK-IIE 7159 is a faucet-mounted emergency eye and face wash designed for installation on compatible standard faucets. Its two upward-curving spray nozzles provide broader flushing coverage than the eye-only Opti-Klens OK-IE, making the OK-IIE appropriate where both eye and facial exposure may need to be addressed.

Constructed of chrome-plated solid brass, the OK-IIE uses the sink's existing water supply to provide continuous emergency flushing without requiring a separate eyewash fixture or dedicated eyewash plumbing connection. The included Eliminator Valve allows the hot and cold faucet settings to remain preset while normal sink flow is controlled separately.

ProStat Opti-Klens OK-IIE 7159 Specifications

Eye & Face Flushing with More Than 3 GPM

The OK-IIE differs from the OK-IE primarily in its flushing coverage and flow. ProStat's standard OK-II eye/face design uses two upward-curving spray nozzles and delivers more than 3 gallons per minute, providing substantially more water than the eye-only Opti-Klens design.

This broader spray configuration makes the OK-IIE the better choice of the two standard-faucet Opti-Klens models when the identified hazard may involve exposure to both the eyes and surrounding facial area.

How the Opti-Klens Eliminator Valve Works

The Eliminator Valve allows the sink's hot and cold faucet controls to remain preset while normal faucet flow is controlled separately through the valve. This helps reduce the need to repeatedly change the hot and cold settings during normal sink use.

The faucet can continue serving its normal everyday purpose while the Opti-Klens remains installed and available for emergency flushing.

Why Select Safety Sales Offers the Eliminator Valve Models

Select Safety Sales offers the three ProStat Opti-Klens configurations equipped with the Eliminator Valve: the OK-IE 7158, OK-IIE 7159 and OK-IIE Lab 7160.

This provides a consistent product family for facilities that want faucet-mounted eyewash equipment while maintaining separate control of normal sink flow without continually readjusting the hot and cold faucet settings.

Faucet-Mounted Design with Continuous Water Supply

The OK-IIE uses the building's existing water supply rather than a self-contained reservoir. When installed on a compatible standard faucet, this provides continuous flushing water without requiring a separate portable tank.

The hands-free flushing configuration also allows an injured user to use both hands to help hold the eyelids open while flushing.

OK-IIE Regular vs. OK-IIE Lab

The OK-IIE 7159 is designed for compatible standard faucets. The OK-IIE Lab 7160 is intended for laboratory-style gooseneck faucets.

ProStat describes the laboratory version as using spray nozzles that curve upward at a 15-degree greater angle than the standard OK-II configuration. That additional forward angle accommodates the geometry of laboratory gooseneck faucet installations.

Which Opti-Klens Eliminator Valve Model Do I Need?

The primary differences among the three Opti-Klens Eliminator Valve models are flushing coverage and faucet configuration.

Where Is the ProStat OK-IIE 7159 Best Used?

• Industrial and manufacturing facilities
• Maintenance and service areas
• Educational facilities
• Healthcare and institutional facilities
• Research and technical work areas with compatible standard faucets
• Workplaces where both eye and facial exposure may need emergency flushing

Is the OK-IIE 7159 Right for Your Facility?

Choose the OK-IIE 7159 when you need eye and face flushing from a compatible standard faucet. Its higher-flow, two-nozzle spray configuration provides broader coverage than the eye-only OK-IE 7158.

If only eye flushing is required, the OK-IE 7158 provides a more compact eye-only configuration. For compatible laboratory gooseneck faucets, select the OK-IIE Lab 7160.
