Does anyone know of a wall box that has a shut-off valve for the water connection? Not one behind the wall. One that the staff can easily close in case of a leaking check valve or even a broken fitting. Everything I'm seeing so far just relies on a check valve in the quick-connect.

Med Solutions has one that we used in quite a few of our clinics and are pretty happy with. I can't attach the pdf (file too big) but if you go to their site, one of the P/Ns is: W-RPWS-B101.

It looks like it's just a hole for the drain. How do you do the drain with an air gap? Somehow air gaps got on the surveyors radar around here. |

I had a site which has a stainless steel shut off valve attached to each of permeate outlet.
As the valves are ugly to be installed on the wall, they were installed in the wall behind the cover which the staffs can open.

I would think just a small valve just like what is used for the acid and bicarb is all that would be needed.

The water has the same shut-off as the acids and we mount a T-clip to the side to hold the drain hose for an air gap.

Chuck, the drain pipe you saw with the box is typically air-gapped to a funnel like pipe that is then p-trapped to the drain run. Think of a 3" to 2" or 4" to 2" adapter. Wide enough to catch any dripping from the edge of the box drain pipe. I have seen these boxes at a lot of independent facilities. You pretty much can order whatever design you want.

On the subject of wall boxes.... One of my clinics just went through a renovation a year ago. since then I have replaced all the acid rinse ports on the wall boxes for leaking. They are starting to leak again. Fresenius is the supplier of the rinse ports. Shouldn't they last longer than 6 months? WTF??

I've found Citrapure to actually speed up the internal breakdown of rinse ports. How does the rinse port connect to the actual acid loop? Lately Davita has been using a lot of pex with compression fittings to connect to the back of acid rinse ports. When those leak, its the compression fitting thats failed not the actual rinse port. |

The rinse ports only seem to make it about 6 months these days before they start to leak...

When we replaced all of our ports, our issue was the little o-ring on the outside of the rinse port. We had MULTIPLE leaks and changing that took care of the majority of them. I got our connections @ Med. Solutions. Not sure how prevalent their adapters are out in the world.

Citripure destroys the acid rinse ports.
