Page 4

The Rigid-LITE Ceiling Column shall be an Amico Alert-1 series.

The shroud is made of 16 gauge stainless steel alloy #304 with a # 4 satin fi nish, consisting of a removable access
panel, stainless steel ceiling collar and a heavy gauge steel mounting plate.

All electrical services are provided by means of EMT metal conduits and gas services are type L, oxygen cleaned copper
pipes.

NOTE: Nitrogen is type K oxygen cleaned copper pipe.

Standard dimensions are 14 3/4” x 14 3/4” (374.65 mm x 374.65 mm)

NOTE: Electrical devices are pre-wired to electrical junction box at the mounting plate, unless other wise stated.
Gases will be manifolded for single point connections to the source. All pipes will extend 8” from the top of mount-
ing plate.

The Amico Outlets are factory cleaned for oxygen service. Exposed surfaces of the outlet may be cleaned with a mild
detergent solution or wiped with a disinfectant commonly used in patient rooms that is compatible with plastics,
anodized aluminium and die cast zinc.

Medical Gas Outlets should be inspected periodically or at least once a year. The test should be in accordance with
NFPA 99 “Gas and Vacuum systems”, or CSA Z7396.1-06 “Nonfl ammable Medical Gas Piping System”.

Test for leaks:

Ensure that no leaks exist, with or without the adapter inserted.

Test for Indexing: Only a mating gas specifi c adapter should insert smoothly into the outlet, latch and be retained.

Test for Flow:
- Gas Outlets:

120 l/min (4.2 scfm) @ 345 kPa (50 psi), maximum allowable pressure drop is 28 kPa (4 psi).

- Nitrogen Outlet: 400 l/min (14.1 scfm) @ 1,250 kPa (180 psi), maximum allowable pressure drop is 70 kPa (10 psi).
- Vacuum Outlet: 30 l/min (1.1 scfm) @ 54 kPa (16 inHg), maximum allowable pressure drop is 13 kPa (4 inHg).

Refer to the appropriate standards for the proper way of performing the fl ow test.

NOTE: The Amico medical gas and vacuum outlets meet and exceed these requirements at the time of manufacture.
However piping source capacity, sizing and restrictions may prevent outlets from attaining these values.
