The installation instructions provided are for Amico standard products. Slight modications to the installation
instructions may be required. The product shipped to the job site may not be exactly as shown in the
installation drawings used in this manual.
1. During the framing and rough-in stage, frame the opening in the wall to allow for installation of the recessed
Headwall. Refer to shop drawings for your particular headwall dimensions. Framing should provide adequate
support for the weight of the headwall, including any accessories that may be mounted on the headwall during
use.
2. Review a copy of the nal approved shop drawing(s). These documents will provide you with technical
information specic to your installation, such as:
• Equipment types and quantities
• Room numbers and locations
• Shop drawings of each unit type
• Wiring diagrams and rough-in
locations
3. Locate the unit inside the crate that you
wish to install. The contents of each crate are listed on the shipping document(s) and crate label.
One unit is shipped complete (see Figure 1)
Remaining units are shipped as components
for ease of installation (see Figure 2):
• Console assembly
• Front frame with fascia
• Cover plates for devices (not shown)
• Hardware if applicable (not shown)

Installation
1. Install the console assembly into the wall opening (see Figure 3).
2. The unit should be mounted in such a way that allows for project specic drywall thickness (see Figure 5 for
reference, using a 5/8" [16 mm] drywall setup).

3. Ensure that the mounting location corresponds to the
on-site rough-in locations for medical gas and electrical
rough-ins.
4. Once the console assembly is in the correct position, attach
the console assembly to the studs using the holes on the
side and the frame provided with the unit. (see Figure
4) Use hardware that is compliant with applicable local
building codes (supplied by others).
5. The unit should be mounted in such a way that, once
drywall is installed, the frame will protrude 5/8" (16 mm)
out of the wall (see Figure 5 for reference, using a 5/8" [16
mm] drywall set up).

Installation
1. Connect on-site medical gas and electrical sources to the unit as per local building codes. The Headwall is
manifolded for a single point of connection for each medical gas. Electrical devices are terminated at junction
locations at the top of the unit. See Figure 6 for reference. See project specic rough in drawings for exact roughin locations.

4. Install the front frame into the console assembly. See Figure 9 for
frame set up.
5. Using hardware provided, secure the frame to the console
assembly using existing holes as shown below (See Figure 9).

6. Replace the fascias into the frames (loosen devices as required).
See Figure 11.
7. Install the cover plates, trims and devices in nal locations. See
Figure 12.
8. Remove laminate strips located into the vertical rails (one on each
side of the unit). Using existing holes and the hardware provided,
install the screws through the rails into the wall studs located
behind. See Figure 12 for reference.
9. Replace laminate strips back into the rail, two places typical.
