ProStat Opti-Klens OK-IIE Lab Face & Eyewash with Eliminator Valve – 7160

ProStat Opti-Klens OK-IIE Lab 7160 Face & Eyewash with Eliminator Valve

The ProStat Opti-Klens OK-IIE Lab 7160 is a faucet-mounted emergency eye and face wash designed specifically for compatible laboratory gooseneck faucets. It provides broader eye and facial flushing coverage while using the laboratory sink's existing water supply.

The Lab model differs from the standard OK-IIE primarily in its spray geometry. ProStat specifies that the two spray nozzles curve upward at a 15-degree greater angle than the standard OK-II model, helping position the flushing streams appropriately for laboratory-style gooseneck faucet installations.

ProStat Opti-Klens OK-IIE Lab 7160 Specifications

Designed for Laboratory Gooseneck Faucets

The defining feature of the OK-IIE Lab 7160 is its laboratory-specific spray geometry. ProStat designed the Lab configuration for compatible gooseneck faucets rather than conventional standard faucets.

Its two spray nozzles curve upward at a 15-degree greater angle than the standard OK-II configuration. This additional forward angle helps position the flushing streams more appropriately when the unit is installed on a laboratory faucet.

Eye & Face Flushing with More Than 3 GPM

The OK-IIE Lab is an eye and face wash, not an eye-only eyewash. ProStat specifies that the laboratory face/eyewash configuration delivers more than 3 gallons per minute.

This higher-flow, two-nozzle configuration provides broader flushing coverage than the OK-IE 7158 eye-only model and is intended for applications where both eye and facial exposure may need to be addressed.

How the Opti-Klens Eliminator Valve Works

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

The sink can continue to be used for normal laboratory work 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 lineup 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.

Continuous Water Supply Without a Separate Eyewash Fixture

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

The faucet-mounted configuration also keeps the eyewash integrated with an existing sink location rather than requiring a separate freestanding or wall-mounted fixture.

OK-IIE Lab vs. OK-IIE Regular

Both the OK-IIE 7159 and OK-IIE Lab 7160 provide eye and face flushing and deliver more than 3 GPM. The primary difference is the faucet configuration and spray angle.

The 7159 is intended for compatible standard faucets. The 7160 Lab version is intended for compatible laboratory gooseneck faucets and uses the greater forward spray angle needed for that installation style.

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 Lab 7160 Best Used?

• Research laboratories
• Educational science laboratories
• Healthcare and clinical laboratories
• Industrial laboratories
• Quality-control and testing areas
• Workplaces using compatible laboratory gooseneck faucets where both eye and facial flushing may be required

Is the OK-IIE Lab 7160 Right for Your Facility?

Choose the OK-IIE Lab 7160 when the application requires eye and face flushing from a compatible laboratory gooseneck faucet. Its greater forward spray angle is the primary feature that distinguishes it from the standard OK-IIE 7159.

For a compatible standard faucet, choose the OK-IIE 7159. If the application requires eye-only flushing rather than eye and face coverage, consider the more compact OK-IE 7158.
