Amico Retractable Ceiling Column Outlet - Manual (Page 8)

Service
Before performing any maintenance on the Outlet, the appropriate hospital maintenance or engineering personnel
should be notified. The “Latch-valve assembly” can be removed without interrupting the service, but when servicing
the “Rough-In assembly” the supply pressure has to be shut off.
1. Unscrew the two retaining screws (12) until the Latch Valve Assembly (11) can be removed from the outlet.
2. Remove the O-Ring seal (16) from the front and replace (NOTE: There is no O-Ring for Oxygen, Medical Air and
Carbon Dioxide).
3. Remove the retaining ring (23) using appropriate pliers. Remove the valve stem (17), O-Ring seal (20), primary
check valve (21) and spring (22). Inspect the items for wear or damage and replace if needed. Replace the O-Ring
(20).
4. Re-install all internal components and lock in place with the retaining ring (23).
5. Re-install the Latch Valve Assembly into the outlet. Coat the connector (15) with a thin coat of oxygen compatible
silicone lubricant to aid insertion. Tighten down the retaining screws (12), DO NOT over tighten, as this could
damage the Latch Valve.
6. Connect a gas specific adapter to the outlet. The connection should be smooth and hand tightening of the nut
should be sufficient to allow the gas to flow without leakage. If not, replace the entire Latch Valve Assembly (11).
