For industrial operations, safety isn't just a priority; it's an absolute imperative. With a legacy spanning several decades, Hubbell has been at the forefront of providing tepid water solutions/tempered water systems for emergency eyewash stations and safety showers. Our expertise has been cultivated through years of dedication to industrial safety.

According to OSHA, eyewash and shower stations require standard tepid water temperatures of 60-100°F. Our safety models maintain water at an optimal temperature of 85°F. This temperature strikes the perfect balance—it's warm enough to gently cleanse without opening skin pores, yet not too cold to discourage its usage when needed most.

In this article we’ll discuss our most popular safety product, the Hubbell Suretemp EMV. EMV is purpose-built for delivering tepid water to emergency drench systems. It offers a range of features that make it the ideal choice for many industrial facilities.

Long-Lasting Design

Hubbell Suretemp EMV is built to last. It boasts a cement lining that significantly improves the longevity of the tank. Additionally, the copper-silicon alloy tappings and composite jacket cannot rust or corrode. With this durable lining and corrosion resistant design, you can trust that your investment will provide dependable service for years to come.

Packaged Mixing Valve

The Suretemp EMV tempered water system includes a triple redundant, thermostatic pressure balanced mixing valve. This feature ensures that your emergency drench system consistently delivers tepid water at the optimal temperature—85°F. By mixing cold and hot water, the mixing valve accommodates high-volume demands, with a flow range from 0.4 to 46 gallons per minute. The mixing valve has a tamper-proof temperature setting, assuring that your safety protocols always remain intact.

Energy & Cost Efficiency

The EMV is designed to use very little energy. We utilize 3" foam insulation, reducing standby heat loss by over 24%. This makes it not only highly efficient but also an economical solution. You'll save on energy costs while ensuring your emergency drench system is ready to respond at any moment.

Combatting Legionella

Suretemp EMV ensures the highest level of safety for your personnel. By storing water at an elevated temperature, it reduces the risk of Legionella, a concern in many industrial settings. The mixing valve ensures the temperature output is safe, so you have peace of mind that your tepid water is clean and free of pathogens.

Temperature & Pressure Dial Gauge

To meet OSHA requirements for eyewash stations, maintaining an eyewash station log of water temperature and pressure is essential. The same inspections apply for emergency shower stations. Our EMV tepid water heater features a dial gauge providing a visual indication of these crucial parameters.

Hubbell offers a comprehensive safety line, featuring three distinct products that cater to your specific needs. The Infinity ETX is an on-demand tankless tepid water heater that works well in small-space applications. It is available up to 162 KW in all three phase voltages. Our indirect Synergy Steam STWH provides reliable point of use tepid water that easily retrofits to existing eyewash and shower stations. Its self-operating controllers don’t require electricity and are hazardous rated. The Suretemp EMV is a long-lasting cement-lined storage water heater that uses a mixing valve to provide tepid water. Each of these solutions has been meticulously engineered to meet the highest standards of performance, reliability, and efficiency.
