Craig,

There are some low cost eye wash stations that have built in "mixing valves".
You would install the hot and cold water lines from the sink.   These units can
be ordered from the "Lab Safety" catalogue for example.   My hesitation with
these is if the "mixing valve" fails and you get just hot water.   But I have
never really explored this type of unit, so maybe the manufacturer has a
solution to this.

Another way, but more costly, is to install a local mixing valve on the water
line itself.   The ones we use are called "Leonards".   They cost about
$500-600.

CSU Safety,
Has anyone out there had to install a new eyewash and shower to conform
with the tepid water issue?  I would like info on low budget approaches
to this.
