Medical Gas Outlets and Manifolds
Medical gas outlets and manifolds for hospitals, surgery centers and procedure suites. Stocked as wall, ceiling and console outlets and station components in gas-specific Ohmeda, Chemetron and DISS styles, plus cylinder manifolds with manual and automatic changeover for oxygen, nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide and other services. Outlet assemblies include rough-in and finish components, faceplates and internal valve parts, and manifold components include header bars, pigtails and check valves, from lines such as Amico, BeaconMedaes and Chemetron. Components are matched to installed connector standards. Wholesale case and project pricing for biomedical and facilities procurement.

Medical Gas Outlets and Manifolds
Outlets and manifolds sit at the two ends of a piped medical gas system - manifolds at the source and outlets at the point of use. This subcategory covers wall, ceiling and console outlets and station components, and cylinder manifolds with their control assemblies. Components are gas-specific and follow connector standards so each service stays separate from source to bedside.
Outlet and Manifold Formats Stocked
- Wall and ceiling outlets - Point-of-use stations in gas-specific Ohmeda, Chemetron and DISS styles. Lines such as Amico, BeaconMedaes and Chemetron are represented.
- Console and rail-mounted stations - Outlet stations for procedure consoles, headwalls and rails.
- Outlet rough-in and finish components - Internal valve bodies, faceplates and finish kits for installed outlets.
- Cylinder manifolds - Manual and automatic changeover manifolds that switch between cylinder banks.
- Manifold components - Header bars, pigtails, check valves and control assemblies.
- Replacement outlet parts - Gas-specific internal parts and repair kits.
Outlet and Manifold Comparison
| Component | Location | Function | Common Standards |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wall and ceiling outlet | Point of use | Deliver gas to equipment | Ohmeda, Chemetron, DISS |
| Console station | Headwall, rail, console | Grouped bedside services | Gas-specific |
| Cylinder manifold | Cylinder and plant room | Feed pipeline from cylinders | CGA, gas-specific |
| Changeover control | Manifold assembly | Switch cylinder banks | Manual, automatic |
Outlets and manifolds combine installed infrastructure that facilities build during construction with repeat-buy finish and repair components that biomedical teams replace as outlets wear. Because every component is gas-specific and matched to the installed connector standards, standards-based identification is central to sourcing, which makes component compatibility and project pricing important for biomedical and facilities procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a gas outlet and a manifold?
A gas outlet is the wall, ceiling or console station where equipment connects to a piped gas or vacuum service at the point of use. A manifold is the source assembly, usually in a cylinder or plant room, that connects multiple cylinders and switches between banks to feed the pipeline. Outlets deliver gas at the bedside while manifolds supply the pipeline, and both are gas-specific.
What outlet styles and connector standards are stocked?
The catalog stocks wall and ceiling outlets, console and rail-mounted stations, and outlet components in gas-specific styles including Ohmeda, Chemetron, DISS and Puritan Bennett. Outlet assemblies include rough-in and finish components, faceplates and internal valve parts. Outlet lines such as Amico, BeaconMedaes and Chemetron are represented across these styles.
What types of manifolds are available?
Manifolds are stocked as cylinder manifolds that connect and switch between cylinder banks for oxygen, nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide and other services, in manual and automatic changeover formats. Manifold components include header bars, pigtails, check valves and control assemblies. Manifolds are sized to the number of cylinders and the facility's demand, and are matched to a single gas service.
Can hospitals order outlets and manifolds in bulk?
Yes. Outlets, station components and manifolds are stocked in single units and full project quantities for hospitals, surgery centers, biomedical and facilities departments and licensed medical distributors. Multi-unit and full-facility orders are common for new construction, renovation and equipment refresh, and standing orders cover repeat-buy consumable items. Contact our procurement team for tiered case and project pricing, freight consolidation and standing order setup.
What outlets and manifold components should be in a facility formulary?
A typical stock includes outlet finish components and faceplates in the facility's connector standards, internal valve and repair parts for installed outlets, and manifold components such as pigtails and check valves for the cylinder rooms. Stock follows the outlet styles and manifold systems installed. MAP Medical builds consolidated outlet and manifold component packages matched to facility standards - contact our team for an assessment.
