and not less than 200 mm from any obstruction.
Where more than one Outlet unit is to be mounted in one location, these should be mounted at the following spacing;
• Two Outlet units - 150 mm centres
• Three or more Outlets units - 135 mm centres
Outlet units mounted in a horizontal array shall be installed in the following sequence when viewed from the front, left
to right;
O₂; N₂O; 50%O₂/50%N₂O; Medical Air, Surgical Air, Vacuum; AGSS
