Product Description
The Amico Medical Gas British Outlet is composed of two separated modules: the “Rough-in assembly” and the “Latch-
valve assembly”.
The “Rough-in assembly” consists of a brass machined body that incorporates a spring loaded check assembly. A 12.7
mm OD, 9.52 mm ID copper pipe is sliver brazed into the body for external pipeline connections. The brass body and
pipe assembly are inserted into a gas specific plate. The “Rough-in assembly” has a colour coded label on the front plate
and the copper pipe, so that the installer can easily identify the gas that the copper pipe should be connected to. The
“Rough-in assembly” incorporated a check valve that allows the “Latch-valve assembly” to be removed for service, without
requiring the pipeline to be shut down. The “Rough-in assembly” has a DUAL pin gas specific indexing arrangement to
prevent the wrong “Latch valve assembly” from being plugged into the “Rough-in assembly” (see page 17).
The “Latch-valve assembly” is manufactured with a gas specific housing which accepts, retains and releases the probe,
indexed on the back side to match gas specific indexing of the “Rough-in assembly”.
CAUTION: DO NOT over tighten the Latch Valve mounting screws! Distortion of the Latch valve can occur.
Outlets are available for oxygen, medical air, surgical air, nitrous oxide, medical vacuum and anesthetic gas scavenging

mild detergent solution or wiped with a disinfectant commonly used in patient rooms, which is compatible with plastic.
