Guardian G5026 Wall-Mounted Eyewash & Drench Hose Unit
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.151(c) requires suitable facilities for quick drenching or flushing where employees' eyes or body may be exposed to injurious corrosive materials. The Guardian G5026 is a dual-purpose unit designed to help meet emergency rinsing needs in a single fixture: leave it docked in the wall bracket for use as a fixed eyewash with hands-free stay-open operation, or pull it out of the bracket and use the 8' reinforced PVC hose to rinse any part of a worker's eyes, face, or body.
Guardian lists the G5026 as tested to and compliant with ANSI Z358.1-2014 as both an eyewash and a drench hose, plus the Uniform Plumbing Code. Two GS-Plus™ spray heads deliver a flood of water with internal flow control and integral filters, the forged brass squeeze valve has a replaceable stainless steel seat for long service life, and the locking clip keeps the valve open hands-free until manually released. The unit is completely assembled and water-tested prior to shipment. Final installed compliance depends on proper placement, water supply, tepid water, weekly activation, annual inspection, and site conditions.

Key Features
Eyewash And Drench Hose Functionality In One Fixture
Guardian lists the G5026 as meeting ANSI Z358.1-2014 requirements as both an eyewash and a drench hose. Left docked in the mounting bracket, it functions as a fixed eyewash with hands-free flow. Pulled out of the bracket, the 8' hose lets a responder direct water to a worker's face, neck, chest, arms, or any area that a fixed bowl can't reach. One fixture provides both eyewash and drench-hose functionality when installed and maintained according to the applicable requirements.
GS-Plus™ Spray Heads With Flip-Top Dust Covers
Two GS-Plus™ spray heads mounted side-by-side deliver a flood of water for rinsing eyes. Each spray head includes a flip-top dust cover that helps protect the outlet from debris between inspections and emergency use, plus internal flow control and an integral filter to help remove impurities from the supply water.
Forged Brass Squeeze Valve With Replaceable Stainless Steel Seat
The squeeze valve is forged brass and uses a replaceable stainless steel seat. When the seat shows wear from regular weekly testing, it can be serviced rather than requiring full valve replacement, which can extend the operational life of the unit in facilities with strict ANSI inspection programs.
Locking Clip For Hands-Free Operation
ANSI Z358.1-2014 requires emergency eyewash equipment to allow hands-free operation during the full flushing period so the user can hold their eyes open. The G5026's stainless steel lever handle has a locking clip that engages when the handle is depressed and keeps the valve open until manually released — supporting hands-free use in both the fixed-eyewash and drench-hose configurations.
8' Reinforced PVC Hose, 275 PSI Rated
The 8' reinforced PVC hose is rated for 275 PSI maximum working pressure. For installation reference, Guardian also notes that the hose should not be used in applications where line pressure exceeds 90 PSI, and the hose should be inspected periodically for deterioration as part of routine maintenance.
Powder-Coated Wall Bracket With Spring Clips
The included mounting bracket has a corrosion-resistant powder-coated finish and uses spring clips to hold the spray-head assembly in place — quick to dock after use, secure during normal operations, and built to mount cleanly to a wall or structural surface near the hazard area.
Which Version Is Right For You?
- G5026: Standard wall-mounted eyewash/drench hose unit. The right choice for most installations.
- G5026BP: Same unit with a built-in backflow preventer. Required in some jurisdictions and on certain water-supply configurations — verify against local plumbing code.
- G5022: A similar dual-purpose unit configured for deck mounting (sinks, lab benches, or counters) instead of wall mounting. Always compare the current spec sheets before ordering.
- G5046: Similar wall-mount unit with a longer hose and a different mounting bracket configuration.
- G5010: Similar dual-purpose unit, unmounted (for portable use or custom mounting).
Sizing / How Many Do You Need?
ANSI Z358.1 generally requires emergency eyewash equipment within 10 seconds of any chemical hazard, on the same level, and along an unobstructed path. The G5026 can serve as the primary eyewash for a hazard zone (Guardian lists the unit as meeting ANSI Z358.1-2014 as both an eyewash and a drench hose), or it can be installed alongside an existing wall-mount station to add hand-directed coverage for chest, neck, and full-body rinsing that a fixed bowl can't reach. For larger facilities with multiple hazard zones, plan one unit per zone. Final placement should be reviewed against ANSI Z358.1 and your site's safety plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does The Guardian G5026 Meet ANSI Z358.1?
Yes. Guardian lists the G5026 as tested to and compliant with ANSI Z358.1-2014 as both an eyewash and a drench hose, plus the Uniform Plumbing Code. Final installed compliance depends on proper installation, location, tepid water supply, weekly activation, annual inspection, and site conditions.
Can The G5026 Be Used As A Primary Eyewash?
Yes. Guardian states the G5026 meets ANSI Z358.1-2014 as both an eyewash and a drench hose. When left docked in the wall mounting bracket, it functions as a fixed eyewash with hands-free flow, subject to proper installation and tepid water supply.
Does The G5026 Require Tepid Water?
Yes, if it is being installed as an ANSI-compliant emergency eyewash. ANSI Z358.1-2014 requires tepid water (60–100°F) for any emergency eyewash used for the 15-minute flush. Guardian lists the G6020 thermostatic mixing valve as a compatible option to blend hot and cold water and deliver tepid water as required.
What's The Difference Between The G5026 And G5022?
The main difference is the mounting style. The G5026 is wall-mounted with a spring-clip bracket, while the G5022 is designed for deck mounting on sinks, lab benches, or counters. Always compare the current spec sheets before ordering.
What's The Difference Between The G5026 And G5026BP?
The G5026BP includes a built-in backflow preventer. Some jurisdictions and certain water-supply configurations require backflow prevention on emergency eyewash equipment — verify against your local plumbing code or with your facility's plumbing inspector before ordering.
What Hose Length Is Included?
The G5026 ships with an 8' reinforced PVC hose rated for 275 PSI maximum working pressure. Guardian notes the hose should not be used in applications where line pressure exceeds 90 PSI, and the hose should be inspected periodically for deterioration.
What Replacement Parts Does The G5026 Use?
Common service parts include the AP470-001 GS-Plus replacement spray head, 470-004R replacement foam filters (6 per package), and 470-005R replacement flow controls (6 per package). The valve seat is also replaceable for extended service life.
What Size Water Connection Does The G5026 Use?
The G5026 has a 3/8" NPT male swivel inlet.
Is The Unit Tested Before Shipment?
Yes. Guardian states that the G5026 is completely assembled and water-tested prior to shipment.
