stay-open valve

anglais vers français Technique / Génie Mécanique / génie mécanique safety showers
I am translating an ANSI checklist for safety showers.

"Stay-open valve (hands-free) activates in one second or less"

I am looking for the exact term used or at least a close idea to translate the term stay-open valve in French.

In the context you mention

And you can find other references as well, all in the same context. Maybe it is acceptable.
Note from asker:
Thank you Anca for your links, this is the exact context and indeed they seem to use recurrently your proposed expression. As the site was only written in French I suppose we can imply that this is the term they use in the company... Also it does keep the stay-open idea.

robinet à ouverture automatique / vanne à déclenchement automatique

Hands free semble indiquer qu'il s'agit d'un robinet, mais cela peut vouloir dire que c'est une vanne qui s'ouvre sans intervention manuelle : suivant le cas c'est une vanne à déclenchement automatique ou à ouverture automatique
