Product Description
The Amico Medical Gas British Outlet Slim Style 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. The
copper pipe is sliver brazed into the body and ared to 12 mm inside diameter for external pipeline connections. The
brass body and pipe assembly are inserted in to a gas specic 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 specic 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 specic housing which accepts, retains and releases the probe,
indexed on the back side to match gas specic 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 anaesthetic gas scavenging
system. These are designed in accordance with HTM 2022, BS EN 737-1:1998 and BS 737-4:1998 (for AGSS)
Cleaning and Lubrication
The Amico British Slim Style Outlets are factory cleaned for oxygen service. Exposed surfaces of the Outlet may be cleaned
with a mild detergent solution or wiped with a disinfectant commonly used in patient rooms, which is compatible with
plastic, anodized aluminum and die cast zinc. Lubricate elastomer seals sparingly with silicone lubricant that is oxygen
compatible. DO NOT USE OIL

Preventative Maintenance
Regular inspection and maintenance of the Outlets will prolong its life and reduce the possibility of sudden, inconvenient
component failures. The use of damage probes or faulty equipment may require further maintenance.
Outlets should be subjected to regular inspection and testing as follows:
Monthly;
a. Visually inspect the Outlet for signs of damage.
b. Check to see if the Front Latch Assembly (2nd Fix) operates smoothly with the gas specic probe.
c. If there is any disagreement with the operation of the Front Latch Assembly (2nd Fix), remove the unit for closer
inspection/repair/replacement if necessary.
Annually;
a. Remove Trim Plate and clean debris from the mounting box.
b. Remove Front Latch Assembly (2nd x) and inspect the barrel for any damage.
c. Inspect the Rough-in Assembly (1st x) for any damage. If damage or leaking replace components.
d. Test Front Latch Assembly (2nd x) for correct operation (connection and disconnection of the probe) using a
blank probe.

CAUTION: Ensure that the supply pressure is shut o before performing service.
Inside the “Rough-in assembly” is a secondary check valve whose function is to shut o gas ow when the “Latch-valve
assembly “is removed. This seal O-Ring also prevents leakage around the latch valve connector. As the secondary seal is
only a static seal, it will rarely need replacement. However, if the seal O-Ring does need replacement, follow the following
procedure:
NOTE: Suction inlets (Vacuum and AGSS) are not supplied with Secondary Check Valve. The Secondary Check Valve (2)
and Secondary Check Valve Spring (3) are not required.
1. Ensure that no pressure exists in the line by depressing the secondary check (2).
2. Removal of Internal components: Depress the Secondary Check Valve (2), with a dull screw driver (prevents damage
on the Check Valve), at the same time pry out the Secondary Seal O-Ring (1), with a small screws driver. After the
Secondary Seal O-Ring (1) is out. The Secondary Check Valve (2) and Secondary Check Valve Spring (3) are no longer
locked in place and can be easily removed. Inspect all components for abnormal wear and replace.
3. Reinstallation if internal components: Install the Secondary Check Valve Spring (3) to the back side for the
Secondary Check Valve (2). Then insert into the Rough-in Body (4). Insert Secondary Seal O-Ring (1), while
depressing the Secondary Check Valve (2).
4. Turn on the pressure and check for leaks. Re-install the “Latch Valve assembly” and perform then inspection and
test.
