Why is it important to consider installing drains whenever possible?
ANSI Z358.1 compliant drench showers feature a stay-open ball valve that allows the shower to flow at a minimum of 20 gallons of water per minute. A person is to remain under the drench shower for 15 minutes, which equates to at least 300 gallons of water that may collect and spread. Drains prevent water damage and minimize slip hazards. Alarm systems may serve as a strong deterrent to vandals, and will minimize the amount of water damage, should there be a false activation.
