Medical gas pipeline installation, from plant room to bed

Every gas starts in one room, the plant room. Copper pipes carry it up through the building. On each floor, a valve box and an alarm panel keep watch. Behind each bed, a panel gives the patient what the doctor asks for.

We design, build and look after every part of it.

Plate 02 – The system in a hospital

Cutaway drawing of a hospital. In the basement plant room: oxygen cylinders, air compressors, vacuum pumps and nitrous oxide cylinders. Copper pipes rise to a ward with bedhead panels and to an operating theatre on the top floor.

Four gases, four colours

  • Oxygen Black cylinder, white shoulder Helps patients breathe.
  • Medical air Black and white Runs ventilators and breathing equipment.
  • Vacuum Yellow Suction, to keep airways clear.
  • Nitrous oxide French blue Used with anaesthesia and for pain relief.

Plate 01, part by part

The six parts of every system, in the order the gas meets them.

  1. Part 1: Cylinder manifold

    A bank of oxygen cylinders with automatic changeover. When one side runs low, the other takes over with no gap.

    Automatic and semi-automatic manifolds for oxygen, nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide, with primary-to-secondary bank switching.

    Standards: HTM 02-01, ISO 7396-1

    See the product
  2. Part 2: Copper pipe riser

    Cleaned medical-grade copper pipe that carries each gas from the plant room up to every floor.

    Degreased copper pipe and brazed fittings to ISO 7396-1 and EN 13348.

    Standards: ISO 7396-1, EN 13348

    See the product
  3. Part 3: Zone valve box

    Lets staff shut off one ward safely, without stopping gas to the rest of the hospital.

    Area valve service units (AVSU) with pressure gauges for each gas line.

    Standards: HTM 02-01, ISO 7396-1

    See the product
  4. Part 4: Area alarm panel

    Shows the pressure of each gas and warns staff before a problem reaches a patient.

    Area and master alarm panels with digital displays for pressure, flow and system status.

    Standards: HTM 02-01, ISO 7396-1

    See the product
  5. Part 5: Bedhead panel

    The panel behind each bed. Its outlets give oxygen, medical air, vacuum and nitrous oxide, each with its own colour.

    Medical gas outlets in BS, DIN and Ohmeda types, compatible with international probe standards.

    Outlet types: BS, DIN, Ohmeda

    See the product
  6. Part 6: Oxygen outlet and flowmeter

    Sets the exact oxygen flow for each patient, with a humidifier bottle.

    Precision flowmeters with humidifier bottles for bedside oxygen therapy.

    Used for: Bedside oxygen therapy

From the first drawing to handover

Builders and architects get one contractor for the whole job. Hospitals keep the same team after handover.

  1. 01 Plan

    Gas demand, pipe sizing and plant room placement, worked out with your architect and builder.

  2. 02 Design

    MGPS design and AutoCAD drawings for every floor.

  3. 03 Supply

    Certified pipe, outlets, valves, alarms and manifolds, with material test certificates.

  4. 04 Install

    Our site engineers work with the civil and MEP teams for clash-free installation.

  5. 05 Test

    Pressure and leak tests, and gas purity analysis.

  6. 06 Commission

    Full documentation, inspection readiness and staff training at handover.

  7. 07 Maintain

    Annual maintenance contracts and 24/7 breakdown support.

Start with step 01. Send us your floor plans, and we will tell you what the building needs.

Paperwork ready for inspection

Before a builder hands over, and before a hospital is inspected, its gas system has to be proven safe. Every system we hand over comes with the papers that prove it was built and tested right.

What you get at handover

  • AutoCAD drawings of every floor
  • Pressure test, leak test and gas purity reports
  • Material test certificates for pipe and parts
  • Staff training before handover

The standards we work to

HTM 02-01
The UK guidance for medical gas pipeline systems in hospitals.
ISO 7396-1
The international standard for medical gas pipelines and vacuum.
NFPA 99
The US code for gas and vacuum systems in health care buildings.
