Unit is constructed in Type 316 stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance and meets cleanroom requirements, making it ideal for use in semiconductor, electronics, pharmaceutical and washdown applications. Unit has ceiling mounted exposed shower head and drain pan. Stainless steel cover provides attractive appearance and protects unit when not in use. When activated, cover serves as pan to collect waste water and return it into unit for drainage.

Cleanroom Construction: Unit is completely sealed and airtight. Covers conceal all openings on front of unit. Supply nipples on inlet and outlet of shower valve are sealed with grommets. All seams in cabinet are fully welded and polished.
